How These Teachers Got Paid for Getting Healthy

“I didn’t even recognize myself,” Kacyi C. recalls after seeing photos of herself from her husband’s Air Force promotion ceremony. “I decided to make a change and take back control of my life. I’d tried all the fad diets in the past, but this time I wanted to lose weight the right way. And that’s when I found HealthyWage.

Kayci bet herself $50 a month that she would lose 60 pounds in 9 months. “I’m a very competitive person, and it just made sense to compete with myself to lose weight. It was right up my alley and I knew it was something I could stick with and win.”

When Kayci’s final weigh-out confirmed she had not only hit her goal, but surpassed it and lost 77 pounds, she won $1,575!

“I wear many hats. I’m a mom, therapist, teacher, wife…all the above. So, it can be very hard to find time for me and do things that I want to do. HealthyWage was something that was just for me.”

Once an athlete, Diana W. slowly saw the numbers on the scale creep over the years. “I played tennis all through high school and college. At the same time, food had always had a hold on me. After college, I had less need to play sports and so I filled that with food.  Too many years had gone by since then where being overweight had become my norm.”

Diana bet that she would lose 60 pounds in 6 months. She hit her goal and won $1,097!

“Making the decision to bet on myself won me more than just money, but a life full of reopened doors! Now when choosing what to put into my body, I remember that treating my body right is a form of self respect. I am more confident, strong, and upbeat, and it shows in every aspect of my life; from wrestling with my kid to showing more passion in my teaching profession.”

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:

Randa P. joined HealthyWage after seeing her husband Preston (and fellow teacher) successfully win his challenge. Ready to transform her health, Randa signed up and won two HealthyWagers (just like Preston!), winning a total of $1,764 for losing 96 pounds! “100% I am a better mom, wife, and educator. I am more confident, capable of more, and willing to work hard because simple, mundane things aren’t hard to do anymore.”

Kathy N. joined HealthyWage and won $1,638 for losing 63 pounds! “One thing I did was increase my steps. I’m a teacher and on my feet most of the day, so I would focus on getting up to 20,000 steps a day and maintaining that during summer break.” To celebrate her weight loss and challenge success, Kathy is using her winnings to book a family cruise for summer break!

Find the Motivation You Need

For Kayci C., it was being healthy for her family and doing something for herself. Prior to starting HealthyWage, Kayci “was at the height of my depression where we found out our middle son was disabled, and we were living in and out of the hospital. I had gained a ton of weight really fast during that period, and it broke my heart because it wasn’t until I saw those pictures that I realized how unhealthy I was.” Fast-forward 9 months and Kayci’s not only almost 80 pounds lighter, but also living life with a clearer and healthier mindset. “I now have more energy to do things and want to do things for myself. HealthyWage was a motivating factor for me to stay focused and find ways to achieve my goals…plus I made some extra cash for my family!

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 (minimum $200 total for your challenge or $33/mo if your challenge is 6 months).

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 quick 30-second 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.
