If you’re nearing the end of your HealthyWager challenge and know you’re not going to hit your weight loss goal by your deadline, don’t worry, you have options! You can either buy more time and continue your current HealthyWager or start a brand new HealthyWager. Not sure what to do? Here’s what you need to know about when to buy more time or start a new HealthyWager challenge:
Buy More Time
With the buy more time option, you can continue your current HealthyWager by buying six months of additional time to complete your challenge (you can only purchase six-month increments). Your challenge details such as your weight loss goal, monthly wager amount, and prize will remain the same except your challenge length and profit will change. For example: your original wager was $50/month for 12 months to lose 50 pounds and win $2,000, giving you a total investment of $600 ($50 x 12) and profit of $1,400. If you buy more time, you’ll pay an additional $300 ($50 x 6), with your total investment being $900 and new profit being $1,100.
No additional verified weigh-ins are required for buying more time, only your ending verified weight at the completion of your challenge. For more information on buying more time, check out our FAQs.
Start a New HealthyWager
If you’re far from hitting your weight loss goal and just want to start fresh, then starting a new HealthyWager might be for you. For your new HealthyWager, you’ll play with the prize calculator and decide your new challenge details and prize (your details do not have to be the same as your first challenge). Then, you’ll proceed just as you did before with submitting your starting verified weight and paying your monthly wager installments for the duration of your challenge.
Which Option do I Choose?
That is entirely up to you and your preference. For many, being able to buy more time and still earn a profit is appealing as it means they can still win their original challenge. If buying more time would outweigh your profit or you want a complete redo, then starting a new challenge might be the best option for you. Again, it depends on your preference and what would be the most effective approach in helping you reach your weight loss goal.
