“For New Year’s, I made 2 resolutions — to lose 60 pounds and to run a marathon,” explains Kerry Butler, describing the motivation behind her recent HealthyWage challenge.
Before her HealthyWage challenge, Kerry realized it was time for a change. “I was feeling pretty down on myself. Being someone who has always been physically active and has had my ups and downs my whole life – I was at my heaviest point. I couldn’t work out as hard. I would be winded earlier. When something you like to do becomes more difficult, it takes a strain all over.”
“When I found HealthyWage, I knew it would be a good push and a good way to keep me on target. Once I played with the calculator and saw how much I could win, I took the plunge.” She was excited for the extra motivation HealthyWage would provide to keep her on track to meet her goals, and for the money she could win if she was successful!
Kerry bet $70 per month for 6 months that she would lose 50 pounds.
When her final weigh-in confirmed that she’d beat her goal and lost 51 pounds, she won $1,399.09!
“(Now) I can run 12 miles, I do my crossfit workouts, lift heavy weights. I feel like a much better person overall and a much happier person overall.”
Get Paid to Keep Your New Year’s Resolution of Losing Weight – Seriously
It sounds too good to be true, we know. But after talking with these HealthyWager winners, we confirmed that 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.

Find the Motivation You Need
For Whitney Cunningham, the weight she’d gained after having 2 kids pushed her to make a resolution to get healthier in 2017. A friend suggested HealthyWage to her, sharing that she knew several people who had won money after successfully hitting their weight loss goals.
Although she initially thought it sounded too good to be true, she played around with the calculator and was pleasantly surprised to see what her prize would be if she lost the weight. Seeing that HealthyWage had been featured on multiple news channels and programs, including CNN and the TODAY Show, sealed the deal for her as it proved the company’s legitimacy.
Whitney committed to a new way of eating (cutting out sugar, gluten, and dairy) and began the process of forming healthier habits. As the pounds began to fall off, she was happy to also experience increased energy while reaping the benefits of fueling her body with healthier foods.
Whitney crushed her New Year’s Resolution goal, losing 56 pounds and winning $2,659.34!
“I knew that without an extreme motivator like money, I would just lose enough to get ‘comfortable,’ which was around the 175-180 lb range. But I really wanted to get back to a healthy weight and live a healthy lifestyle for me and for my family. I was addicted to sugar and food and that had to change. I had little energy and very low confidence.”
Whitney’s change in mindset, spurred by her resolution and the financial incentive of HealthyWage, helped her to not only be successful but to also form lifelong healthy habits.
She’s thankful that HealthyWage provided the opportunity where huge motivators like losing money and winning money helped her to hit her goals. Kerry agrees. “I like the idea of betting on yourself for once. When you’re feeling down on yourself, it’s hard to bet on yourself but that’s when you need to do it. Have faith in yourself and rely on yourself. No one else is going to change your habits for you.”
That’s an important key to this challenge. Each participant’s likelihood of success is solely dependent on the effort put in. 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.
For Whitney, HealthyWage provided the right environment that supported and motivated her to rely on herself.
How Does HealthyWager Work?
If you want to get paid to lose weight, here’s how to get started:
1. Start at 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 (six 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 (it takes about two minutes with HealthyWage’s mobile app).
Throughout the challenge, it’s recommended that you use HealthyWage 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.
