BOSTON, April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PerkStreet Financial, the financial services company rewarding customers for living healthy financial lives, is pleased to announce the launch of its newest StreetSense e-course, featuring free advice and motivation from two popular contestants from The Biggest Loser.

PerkStreet has already seen thousands sign up for its free, StreetSense courses, and is proud to partner with Ramon Medeiros and Jessica Limpert – the famous couple from The Biggest Loser: Season 12 – to add to its listing of financial topics.

"Ramon and Jessica are just as passionate about helping people as PerkStreet is. They inspired America last fall by losing a combined 266 pounds on the show.

It's about willing yourself to overcome," said Medeiros, who became a finalist by winning the Biggest Loser marathon. "Financial and physical goals are both hard to pursue. Changing your behavior in these areas is tough. That's where we come in."
