Quick Weight Loss Centers has revealed the winners of the $ 10,000 Weight Loss Challenge . Monica Speers, of Lake Worth, Florida, is the Grand Prize winner! Monica impressed the judges with her impressive physical transformation, as well as her inspirational weight loss story.

Monica lost 60 pounds following the Quick Weight Loss program , losing 38 inches and going from a size 16 to a size 4. Monica says she was inspired to lose weight for her children, explaining, “With three young children, I worried that they would have to deal with being overweight. I have learned so much about nutrition, that I am able to pass on to my children. They might not know it yet, but they are learning skills they are going to need to be healthy for life.”

After losing 60 pounds, Monica says her confidence skyrocketed, and she entered and won the Mrs. Florida US Continental Pageant. “With this new responsibility, I will represent Florida, and encourage others to take their health into their own hands, and do something for themselves. As Mrs. Florida, I will have many opportunities to encourage and inspire men, women, and children of all ages with my story. It is my time to shine, and I’m ready!”

The other winners of the Quick Weight Loss Challenge also displayed impressive physical transformations and had great stories to tell.

First runner up, Diana Marquez of Kendall, who lost 66 pounds, shared her weight loss journey with her two teenage daughters, who lost 68 pounds and 49 pounds respectively.

Second runner up, Dr. Maureen Campbell from Coral Springs, lost 28 pounds and says, “As a physician I have an innate need to help others. I teach and guide patients to care for their bodies, yet I never took the time to do the same. Now when I look at my transformed body, I am amazed how toned I am without exercising and sometimes feel that this can’t be possible in such a short period of time.”

Third runner up, Kevin Kerns from Palm Springs, lost 100 pounds in only 21 weeks. He says “Thanks to the Quick Weight Loss Centers program, I was able to undo twenty years of weight gain and bad choices, regarding nutrition and fitness, in only 21 weeks.

7 Quick And Easy Teen Weight Loss Tips

Category : TEEN NEWSPAPER

Are you looking for some quick and easy teen weight loss tips? Then you’ve come to the right spot! These positive weight loss tips will get your overweight teen off that couch, away from the computer and on his or her way to a happier, healthier life!

One of the biggest contributing factors to being overweight as a teen has to do with a sedentary lifestyle. There’s so much entertainment geared towards sitting in front of a screen that kids tend to do just that. What motivation does your teen have to leave the screens behind and get some exercise? The key to these teen weight loss tips is to make exercise fun!

Teen weight loss tip #1: Does your teen like to spend time at the mall? Teach them the art of window shopping – fast window shopping! Take your teen to the mall early in the morning and join the mall walkers. As you walk at a brisk pace, your teen can check out all the store windows. This can even serve as a fashion education for you, Mom or Dad!

Teen weight loss tip #2: Racquetball! Many physical activities help a person work off a bad mood, but racquetball allows your teen to pummel a bad mood! Teenagers are not lacking in emotional ups and downs. This ramped up tennis-like sport can really work off stress and calories at the same time. Check out your local parks and recreational facilities for free courts and go purchase a couple of cheap racquets and balls for you and your teen.

Teen weight loss tip #3: Let’s go fly a kite! Kites can actually become a pretty cool hobby that offers exercise as well. Find a big field free of trees and go run some kites. This might be something a group of your teens friends will find fun and challenging as they learn to do tricks with their kites. Hey, maybe they’ll start a new trend!

Teen weight loss tip #4: Bring your teen to the gym with you. Most fitness clubs offer use of their entire facilities for teenagers. If this is something in your budget, it can be a great way to help your teen make exercise a part of their lives. There are so many options for working out at a gym that your teen is bound to find an activity they love. They might even be encouraged by observing healthy people at work on their bodies.

Teen weight loss tip #5: Become running (or walking) buddies! Going for a run or brisk walk in the morning with your teen not only benefits your child, but you as well. So set those alarm clocks a little earlier and hit the road. I haven’t met many teenagers that love to jump out of bed in the morning, so you may have to use a little bribery. It takes three weeks to make something a habit, good or bad. Tell them if they run with you for three weeks, you’ll buy them that new video game they’ve been wanting. Hey, I know, bribery isn’t the best parenting method, but break the rule for something this important! You’re giving your child a chance to form an exercise habit that they just might keep for a lifetime!

Teen weight loss tip #6: Golf. What? Tiger Woods is in fantastic shape! Alright, so I realize that golf isn’t as ramped up as the rest of these tips, but walking an 18-hole course over two hours burns more calories than you might think. Couple that with carrying a golf bag and you’ve got a pretty decent activity! Obviously, you need to leave the golf cart behind. Besides, if your overweight child is less of the athletic type and more of the book worm, intellectual type, he or she will probably enjoy a skilled sport such as golf.

Teen weight loss tip #7: Exercise classes. If you don’t belong to a gym, our local community center or parks and rec organizations might offer classes for your teen to explore other areas of exercise. Perhaps your teen just hasn’t found something they like. There are so many forms of exercise out there that the possibilities are endless: yoga, Pilates, Yogalates, kick-boxing, karate, Kung Fu, hip-hop…

The best teen weight loss tip I can give you is to just get your teen moving. Be a positive influence for your teen and get moving with them!

Quick and Easy Ways Your Teen Can Make Money

Category : TEEN NEWSPAPER

While many parents do not make their children pay rent or utilities, many do require that their teens bring in their kr_raking_leavesown spending money. Especially not with the economy the way it is, many parents can no longer fit their teen’s luxury purchases into their budget. After keeping up with the bills, there is hardly extra to pay for $200 sneakers or ever a $20 movie. So what’s a teen to do?

Well, making money for a teen may be even easier today than in the past because there are so many more entrepreneurial ideas out there now that industrious teens can even start projects to earn money and end up with a career. But even if your teen’s goal does not go much further than some extra money for burgers or candy, getting a teen started now learning about financial responsibility will be a lesson taken with them for a lifetime.

There are many ideas that can net a teen some cash. Here we’ll discuss some of the more common routes teens take and some more creative ideas for a teen to make some money.

Retail/Food Service
Many teens of working age (15 and up) find after school or weekend work at local fast food restaurants or in retail stores in the mall. Many such establishments will work with a teen on schedules and offer minimum wage.

Babysitter
With so many parents having to go back to work, there is a larger need for after school child care. Teens who are too young to work in retail can find work sitting with neighborhood children.

Handy Person
If you live in a community where there are elderly neighbors or single moms, a teen can find lots of odd jobs to do. Lawn care, painting, snow removal, and general repairs can be done by teens on a regular or as-needed basis. Go door to door or posts “work wanted” signs at the local grocery store.

Computer Lessons
For teens who are technologically advanced, they can earn some side money teaching others how to use computers and software. There are many adults who are not computer capable and would likely pay for lessons in basic knowledge of software and internet.

Paid Internships
Teens who have an idea of what they want to be “when they grow up” might be able to secure a paid internship in the industry they plan to pursue. This internship will not only earn them an income but it will also provide invaluable information and experience teens can carry with them after high school graduation. If you have friends or relatives in the industry of choice, ask for referrals on paid internship opportunities or speak with the school’s guidance counselor.

Monthly Car Wash
If your teen has a group of friends who are interested in earning some weekend cash, they can organize monthly car washes. If hosted each month, the community becomes more aware of the service and teens can likely get repeat and new customers each month.

Selling Skills
If a teen is artistically inclined, they can visit weekend farmer’s markets or other locations and provide charactures or drawings of customers. There are many skills a teen may have developed at a young age and can easily learn how to earn money using their skills. This can be their first lesson in freelancing towards a profitable future career.

Tutoring
If your teen excels at a specific subject, they can advertise their tutoring services around the community or throughout school. Tutoring often generates a decent hourly pay and if the teen is able to take on tutoring work for more than one student at a time, they can earn a nice income.

All teens will have different ideas about how they want to earn money and there are many opportunities available to them if they have the support and encouragement from their parents. Teens who learn money management lessons now will likely avoid debt hassles in the future.
