Quick Weight Loss Centers Announces $10,000 Weight Loss Contest Winners
Plantation, FL (PRWEB) August 29, 2007 -- Quick Weight Loss Centers (http://quickweightloss.net) has revealed the winners of the $10,000 Weight Loss Challenge (http://quickweightloss.net/pr_quick_weight_loss_winners.php) . 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 (http://quickweightloss.net/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.
