“Just the motivation I needed”

Alexandra F.
1/13/24

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with HealthyWage. I tried to lose weight for many years without any long-term success. Betting on myself was the motivation I needed to finally meet my weight loss goals and make a sustainable lifestyle change. I lost over 90 pounds and won nearly $10,000. The investment I made paid off in so many more ways than one.

“HealthyWage Weight Review Is a Scam”

Sarah I.
1/1/24

I have paid healthywage for over a year and every time I send them a weight loss video they find something wrong with it. The first video they said my feet were not level and now my most recent video they said I didn't do the side by side view as evidence. Instead of letting me submit a new video they are requiring me to do my verification via zoom. Which is fine but they are giving me a specific window to do so. I am giving them a time for a zoom meeting but I have a suspicion this won't be good enough and they will find a way to keep my money. Watch out, they won't follow through with payment.

I was ready. I bet a bit more than I had to spend...I actually waged my vacation money so if I lost, there would be no Alaska cruise this summer. They set me up to succeed. I wanted to win the money so I took advantage of all they had to offer! I did smaller wages within my bigger on so that I would stay accountable and not procrastinate, I joined the Facebook page and fully engaged in the in-app chat support. I learned to many new recipes, way to stay motivated, new habits to shoot for. I just joined another one to lose a bit more weight. I'm soooooo happy that I FINALLY found something that worked for me! Thank you Healthy Wage!

I was unsure at first whether or not HealthyWage was everything it said it was. But today I'm $5484 richer and 75lbs lighter because of the app, and the HealthyWage community. It was worth taking a chance on it and I'm the healthiest I've been in as long as I can remember.

I was hesitant at first about HealthyWage because it seemed too good to be true, but I can now say that it is 100% legit. I lost 30 pounds, won my challenge, and promptly received the winnings. HealthyWage gave me the motivation and accountability I needed to stay focused on my weight loss goal and I couldn't be happier with my experience.

Let me start by saying that I had allowed myself to incredibly overweight. I was unhealthy, miserable and hiding from my life. I'd done Healthy Wage for years but I just wasn't ready to put the effort in and only had mild success. Last December, I finally decided that enough was enough and that I was sick of sitting on the sidelines of my own life. I placed a bet on myself that would allow me to win over $2500 if I was successful. I'm now healthier than I've ever been, and I will never, ever go back.

One of the best features of Healthy Wage is the weight tracker. I loved being able to go back and see my weights from several years ago and compare them to each step of my journey this time around. I also liked the visual of seeing how I was progressing (there's basically a circle that gets filled in and it's green if you're on track, yellow if you're borderline and red if you're not on track to meet your goal).

I also have to give a shout out to the staff! As I said, I've done Healthy Wage off and on for probably 12 or 13 years, and in that time, I've needed customer service on several occasion (I ask a lot of questions LOL). Each time, I received prompt, super friendly responses. Not to sound cheesy, but the people I talked to all seemed to genuinely want me to succeed. When I finally *did* succeed, I was given heartfelt congrats from the customer service team (I had to reach out with a couple of questions about my account and about how to get considered as a featured success story). No joke, the "congrats" and "atta girls" were really genuine.

I received my check with no problem. It was sent out very quickly and I had zero issues getting paid. Since virtual security is something we're all concerned about in this day and age, I also want to emphasize that in over a decade, I never had a single issue with my payments not being securely processed, so please don't let something like that deter you from trying them out.

To sum it up, could I have lost the weight without Healthy Wage? Of course. Did Healthy Wage give me that extra motivation that kept me from quitting when things were challenging? I answer with a resounding "YES!". Please give it a shot if you're truly ready to get your health under control and be the best version of yourself...with an extra bit of cash in your pocket!

I found Healthy Wage through a Facebook ad. Initially, I was pretty skeptical. Some of these huge payouts look wayyyy too good to be true... I read reviews and actually DM'd one of the commenters to hear about her experience. Everything seemed legit. I knew I was absolutely committed to losing weight no matter what, so I figured, why not make money in the process?

You get to decide how much weight you plan to lose, in what length of time, and how much you want to "bet" each month. All of these factors can be adjusted to fit your goals and financial considerations.

I got started, was having great success, then fell pregnant... So I paused my challenge until after I was done breastfeeding. It was very easy to pause the challenge! I just sent an email with a note from my doctor saying that yes, I was indeed pregnant. Then emailed again when I was ready to restart. A few months later, I completed my challenge and WON real money! I chose to receive payment via a paper check, but PayPal is also an option (it's faster). My prize money check arrived within a week!

If you're wondering whether or not you should take a chance on Healthy Wage, I say go for it! You're losing weight anyway, why not get paid for it?

I was struggling to lose weight on my own. I kept regaining and losing the same 10 lbs over and over and over. I was researching gastric bypass and came upon a HealthyWage ad. I was skeptical, but I figured I'd give it a shot--maybe having a set deadline and a cash prize might be better motivation for me. It absolutely was. I beat my wager. I've lost 87 lbs in 10 months and have changed my relationship with food entirely. Thanks, HW!

I LOVE Healthy Wage - it helped me reach my goal weight because MY money was on the line. It is completely legit and they make it so easy to weigh in and if there are any issues or questions you have a network of fellow wagers to chat with and their help team replies quickly. I am forever grateful to this program as I won more money than expected and finally got me to reach my goals.

This is the best incentive based weight loss program anywhere. Where else can you get paid to lose weight and with such a great program. I had been trying to lose weight close to 15 years and just yoyo'd up and down. I found HealthyWage and after doing the research to make sure it was legit I bet more than I could afford to lose with a payout too big not to lose the weight. Here I am 9 months later, 70lbs lighter and over $11,000 richer. I had plenty of contacts who didn't believe it was real but I posted my pictures of me and my check today.
Healthy Wager is great not only for the prize you can win but also because of the mini short term challenges you can join along the way that keep you motivated. And then there's the lifelines, people just like you supporting each other.
If anyone doesn't win and get their prize money I 100% believe it's because they didn't complete the instructions as are spelled out in the beginning. They are simple, Do your weigh in video, lose the weight and do your weigh out video as instructed. It's simple and it's legit! Lose to win!

Tip for consumers:
It’s wonderful and 100% legit. It sounds too good to be true but it’s just that good!

I had a great experience with Healthy Wage. The possibility of winning a large amount of money for losing weight was very motivating for me. The HW support staff is great to work with. I did two large challenges and more than a dozen smaller jackpot challenges and since I met the goals, HW paid out for every challenge that I participated in. This is a very legit business. I'm thrilled to have found HW and would highly recommend HW to anyone planning to lose weight.

I loved my experience with HealthyWage! I joined in January and within 9 months I had hit my goal. The mini challenges were key for me, even though I didn't win a lot of money for participating in them, they kept me on track and I always got my money back from them when I hit my smaller goals. I think if you are going to lose weight you might as well win some money doing it!

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.

I discovered healthywage on social media. I wasn't sure if it was legit. I browsed a few sites. I came across the video on Good Morning America. I was willing to give it a try! I set the original bet for 6 months. I experienced some life changes, I ended up adding more time. Healthywage helped keep me focused and motived to lose weight. I finished my wager- even in a pandemic! Wahoo I'm excited to start a new challenge! I'll be at PITBULL concert with my cash!

HealthyWage is a legitimate company that allows you to pick a weight loss goal, set a time frame in which to lose weight, and set a monetary prize (based on length of time and how much you want to put in). I loved the flexibility and how everything was told to me up front - I knew exactly what I had to do to win the bet against myself. I won $1,511 for losing 45 pounds. I would recommend this to anyone and can't wait to set another goal to keep my weight loss journey going!

HealthyWage worked wonderfully for me. I lost over 90 pounds and received my check from them promptly. I particularly like that their primary challenge involves losing weight over at least a six-month period, which forces you to establish healthy habits, rather than achieving a short-term goal by crash dieting.

Healthywage is a great tool to help keep you focused on your health goals. I love the fact that I am not told how much to lose or what time frame that I set my own goals and my own bet. This gave me the opportunity to set realistic weight loss expectations and with doing so I have won two wagers and just signed up for a 3rd! Verification is easy, payments received through paypal in a timely manner too. This is a no brainer. Who doesn't love extra money for doing something you are already going to do?! My only regret is that I didn't bet more for my first wager because I was unsure if this was legit but it is most certainly real!

Tip for consumers:
Set realistic weight loss goals. Goals that are healthy and achievable!

I have been trying to go from 225 to 195 for almost 20 years. I knew what to do. I just wasn't. I heard about Healthy Wage from a TV commercial. I checked out their reputation and all looked good.

I signed up and planned to lose 30 lbs in six months. I waged $600. If I succeeded I would win $1,248. And you know what? Finally, I had a big enough why. I knew my wife would be really ticked if I lost that $600.

Over those six months I went from 220 to190 lbs. Not only that, but best of all my habits changed. I now eat differently every day. I feel physically amazing and feel like I finally accomplished a two decades old goal.

I read reviews that say Healthy Wage is a scam. Well... if you don't lose the weight, you don't win. It's really very simple. If you cannot seem to shed the pounds maybe you don't have a good enough why. I did, and I got a check for $1,248.

This is such a great app! Through it you make a bet on yourself to lose weight in a healthy and reasonable amount of time (over at least 6 months) and if you meet your goal in time, you get a cash prize! You get your investment back and then some, based on the app's algorithm. I won $504 for losing 30 pounds in 9 months. Because you're paying money every month, the app helps keep you accountable and motivated. For example, I bet $20/month that I could lose the weight. I highly recommend doing a HealthyWage if you have a large amount of weight to lose!
