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.
This company is a complete scam. They had no problem taking 100 dollars from my account every month for 6 months. I hit my goal. When it came time for them to pay me my winnings, they wanted me to jump through all these extra hoops before paying me out. It became clear they never planned on paying me! I did the weigh out that was required. I then had to take off for Japan for a business trip. They sent me an email requiring an additional weigh in and 10 extra steps that was everything short of the hokie pokie. I told them I could not, as I was on business in a different country. I attempted multiple times to come to a fair agreement, they said if I did not weigh in with in 3 days I would forfeit everything. Although I already lost the weight and completed their weigh out procedure! I then said, I don't even want the winnings at this point, at the very least I want my money back, to which they refused. This company ripped me off for $600! I am looking into legal action now. Do NOT use this company unless you want your money stolen!
Hi Jared,
HealthyWage is not a scam and completely legit, which you can confirm as you won $1,000 for winning your previous HealthyWager challenge in 2020. While it's rare we ask our participants to resubmit their weigh-out videos, sometimes we are required to do so if there are any discrepancies or issues with a participant's submission. Regarding your most recent challenge, our referee team reached out to you within 2 days and requested a second weigh-out submission - even extending the deadline to give you more time. In your response, you declined and demanded a refund. If you change your decision about re-submitting, we would be more than happy to review to confirm your win. Our goal is to help you successfully lose weight in a healthy manner and win your challenge!
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!
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!
Congratulations, Kim on your weight loss and challenge success! We're so happy to hear that the HealthyWager was a positive and effective experience for you, and proud of the success (on and off the scale) you've achieved. Amazing job!
So I joined to this joke of healthy wage. First of all, if you made the mistake to join, you better be prepare to loose the weight or the money cause there is not cancellation to it. Second, if you also made the mistake to joint to the challenge you would not make much. This challenges are base on a pot, which means you share the price among the winners, not without the HealthyWage company taking their share first. Said that, I entered into a pot where the entry money was $100. I won and I ended making 12 dollar approximately. Then there was another pot challenge where a made 8 dollars and you gotta take PayPal fees a as well so less that 8 dollars. Seriously?. Such as scam, and shame of Jillian Michaels on supporting this scammers. Of course you will loose the weight because you won't like to loose the money. But is this really a healthy formation of habits? I don't think so.
Hi, Jenn and congratulations on your weight loss success so far with winning two of our Fast Track challenges, including a 15% profit! Unlike our individual HealthyWager weight loss challenge where the prize (up to $10,000!) is all for you, our Jackpot and Fast Track challenge prizes are equally split amongst successful participants in each challenge, so the profit amount varies for each challenge depending on the number of winners. Our "no-lose guarantee" ensures that if you achieve the goal, you'll always win back at least your registration fee. Regarding the PayPal fee, we do disclose that there may be a potential fee processed from PayPal, but do not have control over the amounts charged. You are welcome to request a check for a flat $7 fee for any winnings, apply them towards current installments, or join new challenges to increase your profit further while you work to reach your personal goals. If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out to our support team at info@healthywage.com and they'll be happy to help you!
They don't have anyone you can talk to on the phone with an issue. They do everything they can to keep you from winning the money and adjust if you've won in the past (although the conveniently don't check beforehand, only after you paid your money in). Avoid them and use another company!
Hi, Tara. Our customer support is available via both email and phone. We are disappointed to hear your frustration in your prize, as we are extremely transparent in our FAQs and Rules regarding our “Yo-Yo Rule,” and wish that we had been contacted with any questions or concerns prior to your creation of a new account with a new email address and name. You previously found success with HealthyWage winning a prize of $1,386.16 for losing an impressive 30 pounds in 6 months under your original account. Our successful participants who document a weight gain since their previous HealthyWager win that register under the same email address, as our FAQs and Rules state, are quoted the correct prize prior to signing up as it is a separate prize structure. Our mission is to provide motivation and accountability in helping our participants in their journey, in addition to encouraging healthy habits and weight maintenance.
I am so glad I invested in myself over the last 9 months with HealthyWage! I had seen information about the company before, but I was hesitant to put money on the line, mostly because of a lack of confidence in myself to lose the weight. I have battled being overweight/obese my entire adult life but have lost the weight successfully 2 other times: my freshman year of high school and for my wedding in 2013.
I realized that to meet my weight loss goals, I needed the push of a specific goal and a deadline like I had with my wedding, and HealthyWage provided that for me! After playing with the calculator, I knew I had 9 months to lose 60 pounds. I put in $100/month and if I succeeded, I would get $2474 paid back. I also joined as many mini-challenges along the way that I could and beat all of those! In addition to providing me a goal and deadline, HealthyWage offered a financial incentive and made losing the weight a competition for me... A competition that I didn't want to lose. I pushed to win every mini-challenge, and ultimately, my HealthyWage! I am healthier, happier, and grateful for this company!
Thank you, Kristen, for sharing about your weight loss journey and experience with HealthyWage. And, CONGRATS on your incredible success not just with your individual HealthyWager but ALL your mini challenges! It's great to hear how HealthyWage was a motivating tool in your weight loss journey and we wish you the best in your maintenance journey!
I absolutely have no regrets about using this platform to help me lose over40lbs! My stating weight us 185lbs ending weight is 144lbs. I bet u would lose 40lbs in 18 months using $30 payments. So technically after the money I paid I only won around $800 but still free money, the confidence earned with the weight loss, and health benefits really make the money not the top priority. I did use a calorie deficit model and my fit bit to actually help me lose the weight but healthy wage kept me accountable. I'm so grateful for there service. It has truely changed my life. I lost my 40lbs in 1 year and my bet was for 18months so I had to maintain my 40lb weight loss for 6 months to win. Which I have done and I have been paid my winnings. I chose to be paid through PayPal which did put a hold on my funds but that was paypals doing so I don't blame healthy wage for this. There is a paper check option for people who don't want tk deal with PayPal. This service us great for people serious about weight loss. They don't hold ue hand the whole time so you need to be self motivated as well. This is a great platform for weight loss and I highly recommend it. I'm now at a healthy weight and I feel so much better!
Thank you, Brittany for sharing about your experience, and congrats on your amazing weight loss and challenge success!
I really enjoyed using this from the app and the people there to help support you, to the info it gives me breaking down all my loss info. I hope I never have to use it again, but if I do I think it will help me again, and I feel like I could reach out to someone if I needed to.
Congratulations, Rebekah on your weight loss and challenge success! We love hearing how the HealthyWager was a positive and motivation experience for you, and wish you the best in your maintenance journey!
With healthwage, I lost 46 lbs, I haven't been this small in ages. I'm also healthier. Thank you for changing my life!
Congratulations, Semone on your weight loss and challenge success!
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!
This company is a rip off. They fool you into thinking They will charge you 15.00 a month without permission even after you cancel. I and my family have been sick from Corona Virus and have been impacted heavily by the virus. I live in New York and prices have sky rocketed and we need that money. Anyway, because of sickness and forgetting I have been charged $15.00 every month since January 2021 till now and the person from Healthy Wage had no supervisor that I could talk to. Anyway, I lost my money and I am told that they are going charge me 5 more times. I wish I hadn't agreed to it. So please don't do it. I lost all my weight from alternate fasting. It works for me so you might want to make a contract with yourself and put $15.00 in your savings account for 18 months than give it to this heartless company who even in these unprecedented times of Corona and simply don't care about anyone or anything except their bottom line profits. Just don't do it. Healthywager is a cruel heartless company.
Hi, Maria. HealthyWage is not a rip-off. We don't nor are able to charge payments without the participants' knowledge nor consent. In addition, we don't see any correspondence with you regarding your challenge. With our HealthyWager, the individual weight loss challenge where you can win up to $10,000, you customize your challenge and decide how much weight you want to lose, how long you want to lose it in, and how much money you want to wager on yourself for the duration of your challenge. Then, if you achieve your weight loss goal by your challenge deadline (both decided by you), you WIN your prize, which is your total wager PLUS a profit up to 300%. If you have any questions, please contact our support team directly at info@healthywage.com.
They really do pay you! I signed up and lost 60lbs! It was a great motivational tool and I got paid $584.00!
Thank you for sharing about your experience, Leah! Congratulations on your success, and incredible transformation!
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.
Congrats, Skylar on your incredible weight loss and challenge! Thank you for sharing about your experience; we love hearing how the HealthyWager and our community motivated and helped you reach your goal!
I was looking to lose 100 pounds in a year.
I lost the first 50 pounds pretty easily on my own but needed a little extra motivation to lose the last 50 pounds. Healthy Wage was that motivation. I met my goal November 6th and received my payout November 9th (via PayPal). I am so thankful I found Healthy Wage!
Way to go, Afua on your incredible weight loss accomplishment! We're so happy to hear how the HealthyWager was a positive experience and kept you motivated to reaching your goal!
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.
Congratulations, Ben on winning your challenge, and cheers to your amazing health and weight loss success!
Brilliant for people like me who are motivated to do things by either making money from it, or avoiding spending/losing money. I think most people would benefit from this 'wager', if forced to make it! The company pays out the winnings - I've done my research and it's not a scam, so the best thing to do is just sign up, make a realistic gamble for what you can do (FYI 1lb/week loss is fairly easy for almost anyone), and then get it done!
Another fantastic part of the game - once you sign up, you can use your link to refer people, and they get an extra $40 boost added to their prize! Another motivation to win money and lose weight!

Can't wait to be using my winnings to buy my new wardrobe of skinny clothes!
Hi, Gemma and thank you so much for sharing about your experience with the HealthyWager! We love hearing how it's an effective and positive tool in helping you reach your personal health and weight loss goals!
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!
Congratulations, Michele and wow, your transformation is incredible! Thank you for sharing about how the HealthyWager, as well as our Jackpot challenges were motivating and effective in helping you reach your personal weight loss goal!
Healthywage.com has been such a great way to motivate me to lose those extra, unwanted pounds. I knew I needed to lose 40 pounds and had decided to do Weight Watchers to lose it. I found Healthy Wage online and loved that I was able to invest in myself to lose the weight and stay on track and then win extra $$ at the end was just the motivation I needed! I was skeptical in the beginning but did my due diligence and found that it was legit! I would recommend this to anyone who needs that extra push to lose their weight. Investing in myself helped me to stay focused on Weight Watchers because I definitely did not want to lose money. But the best part was that I won almost $500 on top of my investment. If you are motivated by money, then this is for you!
Thank you, Lisa for sharing about your experience with the HealthyWager. We're so happy to hear how it was a positive and motivating experience in helping you achieve your personal weight loss goal. Congratulations on committing to your goals and winning your challenge!
Went from 217 pounds to my goal of 192 pounds. Won my challenge Aug 1st. App said will hear back progress review no later than August 7th. It is now August 8th. Still have not heard back
*****UPDATE*******
Be sure to always check your spam mail because it turns out that they sent me an email on August 2 and they needed a second review because I was near a towel rack apparently people can cheat using a towel rack by holding up their weight I did not realize this as I have not even thought of anything like that or cheating so in the email they wanted me to verify again but I did not see the email until August 9. Now it is August 10 HealthyWage squared everything away I verified my video to prove my truthfulness and transferred my winnings to PayPal. What a great experience Thankyou HealthyWage!
Hi, Isela and congratulations on winning your HealthyWager challenge! Our customer support team confirmed they emailed you on August 2nd (one day after you submitted your weigh-out) to request additional information needed for your win, and then again on August 9th after you first reached out to them on August 8th. Per your email correspondence, it showed that our initial email went to your spam folder, which is why you didn't see it. Please know we always reply within 7 days of submitting your weigh-out video to either confirm your win and/or request additional information. We always encourage our participants to reach out to our super helpful customer support team at info@healthywage.com if they have questions about anything, including weight verifications or winner certification. Plus, you can find more information about submitting your verified weigh-ins at www.healthywage.com/rules/video-verified-weigh-in-rules. Congratulations again!

Check it out and play with the free prize calculator at www.healthywage.com/healthywager
Answer: Hi Eric, That timing is absolutely correct, assuming the Winner Confirmation form has been completed. I see that our support team told you on January 11th that you had not yet filled out that form in order for our review to be finalized. The timeline noted above applies as soon as you complete that. Thanks, Kate@ HealthyWage
Answer: Hi, Michele. Yes, you can participate in another HealthyWager (our individual weight loss challenge completely customized to you with a huge cash prize up to $10,00!), after you complete your first! In fact, many participants like to break up their weight loss goal into a few HealthyWager challenges and have found it effective and motivating for both weight loss and maintaining it. Do know that if you win a HealthyWager and start a new one, your starting weight will be your winning weight from your last HealthyWager win.

Answer: Hi, Dee and that's a great question! While we give you the flexibility to choose how you want to lose the weight, we do provide support through our Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthywageofficial), email and our participant dashboard that gives challengers access to our HealthyWage Coach.

Answer: Hi, Maria. The earliest you can weigh-out for the challenge is 2 weeks prior to your end date, even if you have met your goal early. If you meet your goal early, you'll just need to maintain or continue losing (as appropriate) until that weigh-out window opens. We want to encourage weight loss and weight management over time. Our goal is to help you get the weight off and keep it off, develop new habits, and a new lifestyle over the course of your challenge.
