“I am an emotional eater,” says Sherri Shepherd. “When things go wrong in my life, I need that thing that is going to comfort me…even if it’s just for a moment.”
When the pandemic hit, Sherri, like many Americans, turned to food for comfort. However, as 2020 came to a close, she realized her coping mechanisms were not only ineffective, but also problematic for her health and happiness.
Sherri recalls thinking “we’re not going to be in the quarantine for much longer, I’m having that much faith, but I’ve got to lose this weight before I get out!…I’ve got to get back to the basics of being healthy.”
Highly motivated by money, Sherri teamed up with HealthyWage for extra motivation and accountability.
She placed a bet on herself that she’d lose 15 pounds in 6 months.
“Before I started with HealthyWage, I had already lost 10 pounds. I knew those 15 pounds could get me on the right track and it was a number I could work towards,” says Sherri on customizing her weight loss challenge.
Being an individual weight loss challenge customized to her goals, the HealthyWager was the perfect fit for Sherri’s busy schedule of co-hosting Dish Nation and her podcast Two Funny Mamas, while recurring her role on ABC’s Call Your Mother, and returning to stand-up comedy…the list goes on. Not only was she able to pick her weight loss goal and how long she wanted to lose it in, she also had the flexibility to choose HOW she lost the weight. “This is not a fad diet. This will change the way you look at weight loss.”
Despite a hectic schedule, Sherri stayed committed to her weight loss and documented her journey with followers on Instagram, showing new keto recipes she was testing out and creative ways to get a workout in, including pole dancing and roller skating! “I’m the queen of excuses,” she admits. But, “the motivation that HealthyWage provides, completely changes that.”
When her final weigh-in confirmed she not only hit her 15-pound goal but had surpassed it and lost 20, Sherri won $1,300!
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 Sherri, money is the secret motivator. “I love a good incentive to kickstart getting my weight back on track,” she says.
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.
“Since I’ve met my goal with HealthyWage, more ideas come into my head now that I not worried about how I look or how I feel,” she says. “I’m wearing clothes now that I’ve never been able to wear before!”
In addition to the financial incentive provided by HealthyWage, Sherri’s son, Jeffrey was also a driving force of motivation for her. “My son Jeffrey needs his Momma healthy and whole.”
Having achieved success (twice!) with the HealthyWager, Sherri is inviting you to join her challenge by gifting you with a $50 boost to your prize!
How Does the 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.
