How Tabetha Won $5,200 for Losing 53 Pounds

“I got to my highest weight and I was extremely uncomfortable,” Tabetha M. says. “I never wanted to go anywhere because I didn’t want to get dressed. Because every time I got dressed, nothing fit me anymore, and it just made me depressed. I had turned into a hermit because I was so embarrassed and just down on myself. It got to the point where it it was affecting my whole life. It was affecting my marriage and my relationship with my kids.”

Fed up with feeling like her weight was controlling her life, Tabetha decided to take action. “I’ve done diet and exercise programs on and off for so many years, and needed to lose weight. I wanted to lose weight and lose it for good.”

After seeing commercials for getting paid to lose weight, Tabetha remembered that her work had done similar weight loss challenges with the same company — HealthyWage. “I felt like this was going to be something new and exciting, and having money on the line would make me stick to my guns and go with it.”

Tabetha made a weight loss bet that she would lose 50 pounds in 8 months.

“It started out with the little changes, and then it got bigger and bigger.” Utilizing the free 6-month membership to the Jillian Michaels app, “I went on and started researching tips for nutrition and fitness. I was used to trying to get something quick to eat and when you do that, it’s almost never anything healthy. So, instead of snacking on things I used to snack on, I would bake broccoli and season it with olive oil and cajun seasoning, and grill up chicken to go with it. I quickly realized that it didn’t take up as much time to prepare healthy snacks as I had always thought it did.”

Tabetha began noticing her mindset shift when it came to nutrition. “I looked at it as the fuel that you would put in your car. You put good fuel in your car because you want your car to run nicely. Same thing with your body. If you put unhealthy stuff in your body, it’s not going to run as good as if you fuel it with the good stuff.”

In addition to transforming her diet, Tabetha started working out to exercise programs she came across in the Jillian Michaels app, building up her stamina and strength throughout her challenge. “The Jillian Michaels free membership app worked my butt off…literally!”

When Tabetha’s final weigh-out confirmed she had surpassed her goal and lost 53 pounds, she won $5,200!

“The biggest difference I’ve noticed since winning my weight loss challenge is that I feel so much more confident — not just in my body, but also in my ability to do things. I had forgotten how strong I can be and what I can accomplish.”

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. 

Check out these other recent HealthyWager success stories:

Dawn H. signed up with HealthyWage for weight loss motivation and won $2,547 for losing 82 pounds!

“I have done so many diet plans throughout the years but never had anything to keep me accountable, so I never stuck with it. I was at a point where I knew I needed to keep myself motivated and I’m money-motivated, so I thought ‘why not?’ Thanks to the HealthyWager, I had cold hard cash to keep me focused and on track with my goals.

HealthyWage gave me the ability to figure out what worked for me. I had 18 months to lose 80 pounds and in those 18 months, I was able to figure out ‘does this diet work, does that diet work? What things trigger me?’ It allowed me to change my habits without telling me I had to do it a certain way. I found that giving myself ample time made it so the changes I made really became lifestyle changes. Now, I’m not ruled by food and cravings, and I am excited to tone, maintain, and live a healthy lifestyle!”

Jackie B. decided to join HealthyWage after being sick and tired of being sick and tired, and won $1,029 for losing 40 pounds! “I just wasn’t comfortable in my skin anymore. I was tired, cranky, and irritable. I got to the point where I couldn’t find clothes, including shoes that fit me anymore. I knew that I had to change for my own mental health and overall physical health as well.”

Find the Motivation You Need

For Tabetha, it was the monetary incentive that helped her achieve weight loss success. “I’m like everyone else who tried a million ways to lose weight. It would work sometimes, but I never stuck with it, and the weight just came right back. Knowing there was money on the line was exactly the motivation I needed to get this done.”

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.

“I really enjoyed the 6-month free access that I had to the Jillian Michaels app. It gave me a lot of options with exercise routines and nutrition plans you could choose from, but weren’t required to do.”

After overcoming her weight loss struggles and losing 53 pounds, Tabetha is feeling healthier and more confident than ever.

“I feel good about myself. I would pay every penny of that money I invested to feel and look like this. So to actually get paid for it, you couldn’t ask for anything better. Now I can use my winnings to finally take my children to Brazil for the first time to meet my grandmother’s family. And NOW I will actually be confident and healthy enough to wear a bikini!!!”

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 ($35-$200/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.
