Mat Everhart’s health started to decline as his career began to rise. “I took a position where I was traveling 100-150 nights a year,” he states. “Over the course of 10 years, I went from 190 pounds to almost 280 pounds. I was just unhealthy.” His wife, Brooke, explained that “we got in this rut where we worked crazy hours and had a young child.”
Things changed after Brooke’s coworker talked about winning a big cash prize in a weight loss challenge through HealthyWage. “I thought it was a total scam,” Mat admits, and he and Brooke literally waited to see the coworker’s winning check before either of them thought about signing up. When they realized it wasn’t a scam, the only thing left to do was sign up. His wife made her weight loss bet first, and then it was Mat’s turn.
He bet $200 per month that he would lose 72 pounds in 9 months. He exceeded his goal — losing 73.8 pounds and winning $2,952!
The money motivation helped Mat get back to the gym, where he focused on cardio and bodybuilding exercises. In addition, he began meal planning and logging his food ahead of time to avoid cheating. “I’m a very methodical type,” he explains. “You can make great decisions about what to eat tomorrow.”
Get Paid to Lose Weight – Seriously
It sounds too good to be true, we know, but we’ve done our research. If you stick to your goal and lose the weight you say you’re going to, HealthyWage pays you. It’s as simple as that.
Putting cold hard cash on the line was the push Mat needed. “I would not have seen the results I got without HealthyWage. HealthyWage offers something totally unique…it takes away the excuses.”

Find the Motivation You Need
Derek Murray started his weight loss journey on his 39th birthday. At over 250 pounds, he was feeling unhealthy and knew that he needed to make some changes.
Derek found out about HealthyWage when he saw Tony Horton (creator of P90X) mention it on Instagram. He was intrigued by the premise of betting on his weight loss, did some research on HealthyWage, and decided to set a lofty goal for his challenge.
Derek bet $200 per month that he’d lose 60 pounds in 6 months. He hit his goal and won $2,160!
“I started messing with the calculator and seeing how much time to input vs. money. The calculator kept me interested. Once I found the right calculations, I signed up.”
Derek’s weight loss started out strong, but he hit a few bumps in the road over the holidays. However, his HealthyWager challenge kept him on the right path. He says, “I pressed on with my diet, gym and swimming and achieved not only my weight loss goal but more energy and an insanely better quality of life!” Describing his life after his challenge, Derek says “I’m more confident since I’ve completed the challenge. Less pain in my body — I feel a lot better. My mind has improved.”
Derek was successful at completing his challenge because he was able to set his own terms. That’s one of the keys to a personal HealthyWager. Like Derek, all participants are in control of the amount of effort they put in and the challenge provides structure and accountability to help participants stay on track.
You put up the collateral and choose your payout amount. You conduct your weigh-ins. You choose your weight-loss goal and time frame.
The HealthyWager isn’t a diet program or weight-loss regimen. While you’ll benefit from joining the community, reading tips and exchanging recipes, the company’s main purpose is facilitating your bet.
How Does HealthyWager Work?
If you want to get paid to lose weight, here’s how to get started:
1. Start with the HealthyWage Prize Calculator, where you’ll enter how much weight you want to lose (10-150 pounds, minimum 10% of your starting weight), how long you’ll take (6 to 18 months) and how much you want to bet ($20-$150/month).
Based on that information, the calculator will determine your prize amount, up to $10,000. You can play with the calculator until you get the payout and goal just right, and you’ll know your payout amount before officially placing your bet.
2. Sign up and lay down your bet. You agree to pay the monthly amount for the duration of the challenge.
3. Achieve your weight-loss goal, and win your prize!
You’ll start and end your challenge with a video-recorded weigh-in to demonstrate your weight loss. Throughout the challenge, it’s recommended that you use the HealthyWage app to log weekly weigh-ins (these are just self-reported, not verified by video). It’s a great way to keep yourself accountable and on track to meeting your goal!
4. If you don’t hit your goal, your money goes to support HealthyWage, including prizes for others who achieve their goals.
