“I was overweight, not happy with myself, and I didn’t want to face a scale,” Tessa T. recalls feeling before her recent weight loss transformation.
After a doctor’s visit that left her with the unfortunate news she was pre-diabetic, Tessa was devastated. “I knew that I was heavy and I had gotten to the point where I was somewhat embarrassed to be out in public for fear of running into people that I used to know when I was thin…but I had still managed to somehow convince myself that things weren’t that bad.”
By chance, Tessa came across an ad for HealthyWage on Facebook and saw she could make money losing weight. This weight loss challenge “sounded too good to be true” for Tessa; however, after researching and finding reputable sources (including HealthyWage reviews from past past participants and winners) confirming HealthyWage was legit, Tessa decided to bet on her weight loss. “I placed my money down; I was ready.”
Tessa bet $250 a month for 12 months that she would lose 87 pounds.
Already physically active, Tessa focused on her biggest weakness: food. “I did mostly low-carb, but I also never took anything off the table. If I wanted to have that piece of chocolate cake, I had it.” Although, it should be said that piece of cake was now being portioned out. “Food is not the enemy, you just have to have moderation.” By meal prepping for the week every Sunday, Tessa found she was less likely to cave into temptation. “It was just always making sure you had those meals available to you because if you get to the point where you’re starving, odds of making a good choice are not real high.”
When her final weigh-in confirmed she had met her goal, Tessa won $5,610!
Get Paid to Lose Weight — Seriously
It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not. If you stick to your goal and lose the weight you say you’re going to, HealthyWage pays you. Lose weight, win money — it’s as simple as that.

Find the Motivation You Need
For Tessa, it was about proving to herself that she could accomplish her weight loss goal no matter what obstacle came her way. Plus, she wasn’t about to lose her bet!
“Losing that money was what kept me motivated,” she relays. “The icing on the cake, was the five thousand, six hundred dollars.”
That’s an important key to this challenge. HealthyWage 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.
You put up the collateral and choose your payout amount. You conduct your weigh-ins. You choose your weight-loss goal and time frame.
Because she was able to create her own diet and exercise plans, Tessa felt confident she could crush her goal. “I [didn’t] want someone to tell me what I can and cannot eat for the rest of my life. So, I felt like this was my chance it was my opportunity.”
This mom of three has not only noticed a drastic change on the scale, but in herself as well. “[I have] more to offer as a mom to them…I can be an example to them as a mom who is active [and] who is living that healthy lifestyle.”
“With HealthyWage, I was able to change my life. I lost 87 pounds, and in the process for losing the weight I needed to lose anyway, I won $5,610.”
How Does HealthyWager Work?
If you want to get paid to lose weight, here’s how to get started:
- 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.
- Sign up and lay down your bet. You agree to pay the monthly amount for the duration of the challenge.
- 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!
- If you don’t hit your goal, your money goes to support HealthyWage, including prizes for others who achieve their goals.
