"Who wants a Bugatti," an auditorium full of teenagers was asked on Monday at Pleasant Valley High School.

"Your life is worth more than that Bugatti," said Dr. Musa Tangoren, an anesthesiologist at Pocono Medical Center.Tangoren is the director of the Biggest Winner Challenge at PMC, which is in its third challenge the past year.The weight loss challenge has helped 375 adult participants lose more than 4,000 pounds, said Thomas Dimino, community relations spokesman for Pocono Medical Center."He works to save people's lives through wellness," Dimino said."Seeing people make the change is great," Tangoren said.The current program, which began in October and will be completed in March, has 376 registrants. This time, it was opened to teens for a Youth Challenge."Weight loss has to do with loving yourself," Tangoren said. "You have to look in the mirror and say, 'I like myself.' You have to feel good about yourself every day, because if you don't, you're going to stop (for fast food) on the way home."According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, teens are the fasted growing population with obesity.Tangoren said studies have shown that how a person has been behaving by 25 years old is how he or she will most likely act for the rest of his or her life. Tangoren is hoping to influence teens to live healthier now, so that they will continue to do so throughout their life.John Gress, the principal at Pleasant Valley High School, said, "It's so important to get that message across."He complimented Tangoren for asking the students many thought-provoking questions. He said teens may not say much, but "they take it to heart."Tangoren said he had four goals for his talk. First, he wanted the teens to know how important it is to love yourself and be thankful for what you have in your life. He said he wanted them to be able to say "I like all of this, and I'm going to take care of it."Second, he gave them information about proper eating habits. Not just about avoiding high-fat and sugary foods, but also about dieting and diet supplements.Tangoren warned them about eating disorders and body image dysmorphia."That's fake," he said about the pictures of male and female models in magazines. The pictures have been known to be altered. "That guy doesn't even look like that guy."If action figure toys were human size, the waist would be 10 inches and the shoulders would be 70 inches, he said."I don't need to look like that action figure, because it's just plastic," he said.Tangoren's third goal was to encourage exercise. He told the teens to find their fun. They can't burn any calories, outside of those it takes to exist, when they play video games.The fourth goal was motivation."I so desperately want to help people," he said.Tangoren told them to set a goal and focus on attaining it. Don't be distracted with what other people are doing, but focus on their own goals in order to succeed. He recalled how his high school swim team coach told him after losing a race, "The reason you lost was is because you looked over."
