“I can honestly say I like myself again” says Sara J. on life after her recent weight loss transformation with HealthyWage. “I don’t grimace when I catch my reflection out of the corner of my eye. I don’t find excuses to avoid doing difficult outside chores. I am open to new adventures. I even went back to college because I finally had enough of my lost confidence back to feel I could do better for myself and that I deserved better.”
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and for Sara, it was more than that. It was her wake-up call.
“It all started after my 33rd birthday. It had snowed in Northeast Ohio and looked beautiful. I wanted to walk down to the creek to take family photos. My husband obliged. When we were done, I hated every photo. I couldn’t stand how I looked. It was apparent that there was no camera trick to hide all the weight I’d put on in the last decade.”
As a birthday present to herself, Sara committed to a year-long journey of losing weight and getting healthy. The deadline? Her 34th birthday.
“I resolved to ‘do better for myself.’ I started off walking outside at least a mile and a half a day, through the snow and ice. I started counting calories and learned about eating healthier. It was hard at first. I was smacked in the face with the reality that I not only ate too much, but ate for the wrong reasons. Sure, I ate when I was hungry. But I also ate when I was frustrated at work. I ate when I was depressed. I had heard of HealthyWage from a news segment and decided to give it a go.”
Sara bet $100 for twelve months that she would lose 75 pounds.
When her final weigh-in confirmed she surpassed her goal, losing 79 pounds, she won $3,226!
“I made a resolution…and I stuck with it!”
Get Paid to Lose Weight — Seriously
Check out these other recent HealthyWager success stories:
It sounds too good to be true, we know. But after talking with these HealthyWager winners, it’s 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.
Erin H. bet on herself that she’d hit her 50-pound weight loss goal in seven months. She reached her goal, and won $2,700!
Danielle S. found out about HealthyWage after seeing it featured on Good Morning America, and won $3,982 for losing 101 pounds in 14 months.
Find the Motivation You Need
For Lori P., it was about being fed up with being tired and uncomfortable, and seeing an opportunity to not only stay motivated to losing weight, but also getting financially rewarded.
After coming across HealthyWage, Lori signed up and bet herself that she’d lose 90 pounds in 12 months.
Lori exceeded her goal, losing 93 pounds and won $3,919!
“Having invested money in the beginning and looking forward to the big carrot at the end, got me through plateaus that I would have given up on in the past.”
By setting her challenge length 12 months, Lori had time to test and implement healthy habits into her daily lifestyle that could continue after completing her challenge. “Now I have the right program for me to keep me healthy and lean.”
Putting cold hard cash on the line was the push Lori needed to lose weight and get healthy.
Sara agrees. “HealthyWage helped me stay focused on my end goal on days I felt like giving up.”
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.
Because she controlled her own challenge details, as well as her nutrition and exercise plans, Sara says she’s been successful in losing weight.
“I really feel like I have a new life. I haven’t felt this good physically or mentally in easily a decade. I didn’t even know how bad things had gotten, since it was all so gradual. I’m not sure I would have met my goal, at least not in the timeframe I wanted, had it not been for HealthyWage.”
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 ($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.
