“I went through a divorce and realized that I had two little boys that depended on me more than ever. I wanted to make sure I was healthy enough to watch them grow up and have their own kids.”
After Steven S.’s uncle suggested he bet money on himself, he Googled “weight loss wagers” and came across HealthyWage.
Steven bet himself $200 a month for 12 months that he would lose 95 pounds. “I played around with the calculator along with my budget to get to the right risk vs reward.” Steven liked the fact that he could customize his challenge “because it really put the emphasis on the fact that winning this challenge is completely in my control.”
When Steven’s final weigh-out confirmed he had surpassed his goal and lost 160 pounds, he won $10,984!
“It all started with just putting my shoes on and going for a walk.
I walked every single day rain or shine for 2 months before I ever thought of the gym. I changed my diet by cutting out all sodas and sugary drinks by replacing them with just water. I cut out all junk food and reduced my highly processed food consumption with a diet that consisted of a healthy portion of protein and steamed veggies.
I dropped from a size 52 pants to 34 pants and 4xl t-shirts to 1xl t-shirt – all in the course of a year.”
Eric W. was reminded of how much he had let his weight go after seeing a recent picture of himself.
“You don’t really realize how much you’ve gained until you look at pictures. I was 247 pounds and I’d never been that big before. I needed to figure out what I could do to start losing weight and started looking up to see if there was anything that could give me an extra incentive…and that’s how I came across HealthyWage.”
Eric bet himself $100 for 6 months that he would 30 pounds. He surpassed his goal, losing 32 pounds and won $1,441 with HealthyWage!
“If you lose weight, you get paid. And if you don’t, you’re not [gonna get paid]. Who doesn’t want extra money, whether it’s $20, $200 dollars, $2,000…how much ever it is. You’re getting extra money and in the process, you’re gonna feel better, you’re gonna lose weight, and you might even experience health benefits.”

Gregg K. was ready to shed the pounds and became intrigued at the thought of betting on his weight loss after seeing a commercial for HealthyWage. He signed up and won $1,518 for losing 61 pounds! “The biggest thing for me was not so much winning the money, but instead not losing the money, which is why I don’t like to gamble…I don’t like to lose money. But, with something like [HealthyWage] where I actually have the power to affect the outcome, I’m motivated by that.”
Bill D. joined HealthyWage and won $818 for losing 80 pounds! “What a difference a year can make. When I turned 65, I realized that if I didn’t lose weight and get into shape, I likely wouldn’t live to see 70. I have three young grandchildren that I want to see for as long as possible. [This] photo was taken a couple days ago just after a 20-miles bike ride. I’ve been camera shy before, but I believe that will change now.”
Find the Motivation You Need
For Steven S., it was a no-brainer when it came to betting on his weight loss. “HealthyWage puts all the aces in your hand to make money, but you just have to play them right and not fold your hand. If you’re serious about losing weight, you might as well make some money from it.”
You put up the collateral and choose your payout amount. You conduct your weigh-ins. You choose your weight-loss goal and time frame.
“It was a literal reminder every month when $200 disappeared from my bank account, and I really hated having that money come out, so I sure didn’t want to lose it in the end. I also wanted to win the almost $11,000 prize.”
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.
