HealthyWager was exactly what I needed for that extra push to stop giving up on losing weight. The first few weeks I made the bet, I could see I was falling behind. With a bit of money on the line and proving to my husband I can do it this time I got back into Intermittent Fasting and Extended Fasts and finally started to see results. There are chat boards in the HealthyWager app you can use to check others progress. And I can confidently say it's LEGIT! I lost 55lbs in 6 months with a $780 bet and made a profit of $1500. $2300 was in my paypal within 2 days after I sent my verification video. So fast and so easy! I loved my whole experience with Healthywager and recommend it to anyone! Take the risk on your health and use the extra prize money on yourself!

You can increase your winning by signing up for 3 month personal challenges. If you sign up via the link below $40 will be added to your winnings. https://hwage.co/*******/
Love HealthyWage! I was nervous that this might be too good to be true. I expected there to be issues around weighing out and the company finding any reason to deny or question my loss. I was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn't the case. My final weight out was simple, I didn't need anything additional, and I got my winnings in less time than quoted.
Hi, Sara and congratulations on your weight loss success and winning your HealthyWager challenge! We're happy to hear the HealthyWager was a motivating and positive experience for you!
Great company to deal with! I won two different bets and had no issue with receiving my funds. Weigh ins were easy and had my funds within a week! I tried to drop this weight for years and nothing worked like this. The money really motivated me!
Thank you, Ali and way to go on your amazing weight loss and health success!

Healthywage has really helped motivate me to work on my weightloss goals. Its easy to weigh in and not as complicated as I originally thought it would be. If your curious give it a try! It has definitely helped get me on the right track for my health.
Hi Arvie, we're happy to hear that the HealthyWager has been a motivating and helpful experience for you! Wishing you the best for both your challenge and health journey!
I'm writing this in response to a reviewer who wrote that it's a scam and that you don't WIN money, you just get your own money back.
Yes, you DO win money! It's common sense that the amount you win at the end is also including what they take by auto withdrawal every month. When I was deciding, at the beginning, how much to bet and how many pounds to shoot for, I simply thought to myself how much my payments would be per month, and then subtracted that amount from the "You will win..." number to see what I would actually win in profit. It's not rocket science. I bet $150.00 per month that I could lose 69 pounds in 1 year. I did it and got my $1,800.00 back that I put in, PLUS I won, on top of that, $1,085.00, free and clear. It's a FANTASTIC program and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much, Felice! Congratulations on achieving your goal and winning your challenge. We're happy to hear it was a motivating and enjoyable experience!
This company is unbelievable.
Who ever heard of having to Keep Paying for something you Never Even Used nor plan on using nor want to use? There is no service- you dont sign a contract- you just sign up for what is basically a subscription you Can Never cancel! I made my first payment- never even weighed in and even emailed 2x to cancel and not to charge my card again in the future and they did. So it looks like I'm just gonna keep paying these people for the next 12 months, whether I do anything or not. The way see I it, it's a killer scam for the most part. These guys must be making money hand over fist. It just amazes me the way some company's take and take and take. Its stupid- my weight is perfectly fine for my height and age- I signed up on a whim on a day i was feeling fat and now I'm not to worried about it. But I guess I better get on the ball and start losing unnecessary weight so I dont feel so stupid they're gonna keep taking my money. Hope I dont get sick or whatever.
We feel bad that you seem stressed out, but we don't understand why you made these unkind remarks. We looked into your account. It looks like we promptly responded to your request for a refund and let you know how to request an exception to our no refunds policy, but you did not make that request. Instead, you wrote the below review, which contains statements that are false and also not very nice.
You used our service by making a weight loss bet, which obligates us to pay you the prize if you achieve your goal. You decided to pay your bet in 18 monthly installments rather than all-at-once. We allow you to pay installments as a convenience to you (we do not charge interest or fees for the installment plan). The installments automatically stop when you've paid what you agreed to pay. They do not just go on and on (there is no "subscription"). And if you achieve your goal, we pay you your prize -- we can’t cancel or get out of it. The service which you paid for and received is our legal obligation to pay you your prize if you achieve your goal. We're on the hook. Likewise, you can't get your bet back or cancel an installment plan. There are exceptions, as we explained by email, and we told you how to request an exception. Your statement that this is a scam is false.
I lost 62lbs in 10 months and won almost $3,000!
This challenge worked perfectly for me. After a lifetime of hiding diets that didn't work, this was a plan that I was excited to tell others about. The excitement factor changed the paradigm and helped me feel supported by everyone around me.
I was leary of betting the money. My friends were telling me it was probably a scam. I really wondered until I received the check in the mail. This is the best thing ever! The bet kept me motivated. I do not want to lose money! It is a win win. I won money and lost weight. I feel better than I have in years and can wear the same size that I did in high school. Thank you HealthyWage!
Thank you, Emily for sharing about your experience with HealthyWage, and CONGRATS on your amazing weight loss and challenge success!
Their rules about reimbursement need to be more clear. Rules indicate a participant will have 6 months after the challenge end to lose 10% to get their entry fee reimbursed if they don't do it during the challenge. It nowhere states that even if you lose the 10% you still have to wait to weigh in 6 months later. They do this in hopes people will forget and they can keep the money. Shady business model!
Participants in our $10,000 Team Challenge compete to win huge cash prizes ($10,000 for 1st; $5,000 for 2nd; $3,000 for 3rd) and, if they don't win a grand prize, qualify for a full reimbursement of their entry fee if they lose 10% of their weight 9-months after the start of the challenge. We've successfully processed thousands of reimbursements for the Team Challenge.
The dates for the reimbursement were featured prominently in the participants' dashboard the entire challenge. Our rules, which are pasted below, make it very clear you must wait until the end of the 9-month period to claim your reimbursement:
"Participants who achieve a 10% weight loss 9 months after the challenge start and upload or submit a verification video during the designated verification window are eligible to receive a refund of their challenge entry fees."
We congratulate this participant on his success during the 12-week challenge and look forward to sending him his refund check in October, when he demonstrates he has maintained a 10% loss.
Even if you meet the 6% weight loss goal you will lose your money. I am terribly disappointed. If the team did not win, I should at least have gotten my money back while my non-performing team mates (who I have never met) lost theirs.
Hi Marina, we're sorry you did not have a good experience with the team Jackpot Challenge as it can be a fun and effective way to losing weight and getting healthy. Per our FAQs (https://www.healthywage.com/faq/jackpot-challenge/), we clearly state that your team must achieve an average weight loss of 6% or more in order to win, and provide up-to-date stats in your challenge dashboard so you're able to see how your teammates are doing throughout the challenge. We also offer individual Jackpot Challenges where you're automatically a winner if you achieve a personal weight loss of 6% or more. You can view them as well as our other challenges at https://www.healthywage.com/challenges/directory.
I am so glad I gave this company an opportunity. The rules were easy, the weigh in was simple, and the payout was REAL. No pushy diets, no pressure to be who you aren't. I chose to invest in my health. I lost weight by doing it. I'm so proud to be paid to lose weight!
Great job, Sarah on achieving your goal and winning your challenge!
I have gone through 2 wagers now with Healthy Wage. Both were for 12 months and they totaled a whopping 126lbs of weight loss. My checks arrived within 14 days and throughout the whole 24 mths, Healthy Wage support team was available to answer any questions. What can I say? Money motivated me to get my overweight butt back in shape. Thanks Healthy Wage
Congrats, Patrick on your weight loss and challenge success! Winning one challenge is incredible in itself, but two is amazing -- and so is your transformation!
There are some reviews saying it is a scam. I made a HealthyWage on myself and can confirm that it is NOT A SCAM! My HealthyWager is the reason and one of the pillars that pushed me from being morbidly obese to at a healthy weight. Knocked off all my blood pressure meds and began cycling. A new zest for life and more than doubled my money. You cannot beat what HealthyWage has to offer!
This is a legitimate business and a fantastic way to lose weight! I wondered if people really won money for losing and they do! I know this because I won $1,163 by losing 48 pounds. You can choose to receive your payment via check or PayPal. For me, I really needed the extra motivation by betting on myself. I am a competitive person and do not like to lose money. This company promotes positivity and constant encouragement to lose weight in a healthy way. They celebrate the little wins along the way and reaching milestones. It promotes losing in a healthy way and reiterates that the CDC recommends losing no more than 2 pounds a week. There are community chat forums on the app and in Facebook where other people support each other in their goals. I am so thankful I found HealthWage. I am healthy now and hope to live a long life.
Thank you for sharing about your experience, Kimberly, and CONGRATS on your weight loss success and challenge win! We're so happy to hear how the HealthyWager was a positive and motivating experience for you in your weight loss journey.
This program helps give you the motivation towards your weight loss goal! I had signed up to lose 45 lbs in 8 months. I now have 57 days left with 7 lbs to lose! I started walking everyday several months ago and just added biking to my workout. Switching my workouts has helped to see results in weight reduction. I had also signed up for 5 individual challenges to help keep me motivated during the start of the pandemic which gives some more small winnings. You should lose weight faster in the beginning when eating healthy and exercising several times a week. Gitting paid to lose weight and get into shape, a win-win! If you sign up via the link below $40 will be added to your winnings.

Amazing job, Rebecca! We're happy to hear how you've successfully implemented healthier habits into your lifestyle and that you're seeing success both on and off the scale. Keep up the incredible work!
I have participated in their "HealthyWager" and earned $3360 for reach my goal of losing 75 pounds in a year. I've referred friends to HealthyWage, and they'vealso been successful in losing weight. When you are betting $100/month on your weight loss (you can bet however much you want per month, though), I think it really provides great motivation. :) My husband are going to travel to Cali to tour wineries with the money... and the leftover cash is going towards our kitchen reno! If you'd like to join, use my referral link for $40 to be added to your winnings pot :) https://hwage.co/*******/
What a scam. You don't win crap other than your own money back. You can win up to $10,000!... as long as you bet $9,800 on yourself. In other words, if you want to sign up for a forced savings plan where the likelihood of losing all your money is high, and if you do happen to win, you get taxed to the point that the actual portion that you do win is completely nullified, then go ahead and go for it! You can do it! The last 20 years of not being able to lose weight is completely going to change, if they pay you $200 to do it! Ha!
Totally false advertising when the total prize money that they quote includes returning your own monthly contribution. If they presented it honestly it would only show the amount that you actually win, over your personal monthly contributions, but then no one would buy into the scam.
HealthyWage paid over $13 million in prizes to over 30,000 people in 2019 alone. We are not a scam. Wager terms are determined by the participant before registering and ROI can range anywhere from 11% to 300% based on a number of personal factors. The heavier you are, the larger your prize. We encourage you to play with the calculator as many times as you'd like to find the right combination for you. We do not tax winnings and only issue a 1099 when required by the IRS, as all reputable organizations do. It’s ok if HealthyWage isn’t right for you, but it has been life changing for so many. Best of luck to you.
I am so glad I found this company. Its only been a month and I've already lost nearly 5kg (10 lb). The fact that I have my own money on the line has given me the motivation I needed. Hardly anyone in the UK has heard of it though, I guess it's pretty big in America.
If anyone wants to use my referral link to sign up, they'll get extra money added to their prize and so will I. I've added the link below. You can also add me as a friend and we can help motivate each other.

I'd recommend that you mess around with the prize calculator for a good hour or so until you get a decent prize as for some combinations, it's really not worth it. I do have a lot to lose but there is absolutely no way I am losing my money!
Good luck!
Hi Hena and great job on your success in just the first month of your HealthyWager challenge!
