The secret to the spirometer is to fully exhale before you try to inhale. If you don't there is no way to make the level. Most people start about half full of air and wonder why they have trouble. If you do that--forcefully exhale first, then blow out a candle--it is easy. Maybe this will help... Joy

I also find that sitting up as opposed to lounged in my recliner is easier. It helps me reach the point I need to be at. Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler 7 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!
