I lost 30 pounds and wagered $600. My prize was $1452 and HealthyWage transferred the money into my PayPal account within 2 days. I highly recommend everyone I know to HealthyWage who wants to lose weight and is serious. Beware though, once you click accept, there is no turning back and you still have to pay- that's what I liked most about HealthyWage. You are financially committed unless you have a medical reason.

Awesome experience!
August 23, 2019

I love this company! It's 100% legit, and it's changing lives every day!
Making this commitment was one of the smartest things I've ever done for myself. I'm now a HealthyWage ambassador due to my success with the program, and I hope to answer any questions you might have about how this works.
Here's the breakdown- You would start by playing with the bet calculator and adjust your bet/weight loss amount/time frame until it's what you want. Minimum time frame is 6 months, max is 18mo. More risk=more reward, but you don't want to "over bet" and not be able to reach your goal, because then you would lose all your money. Then you sign up to make automatic monthly payments, do a verified weigh-in, and your challenge starts. You can sign up for additional challenges too, that make money on the same weight loss. (Team or individual challenges, you choose). I just won my main healthywage challenge, and also joined 23 additional challenges, all of which pay out separate from the main bet. You do a "verified weigh in" at the beginning and end of each challenge, which basically means you weigh in on video through their app, or you can do it at a doctors office or weight watchers meeting. I find doing it through the app by myself is pretty easy and convenient. I do it by myself in my bathroom in front of a big mirror.
The payments you make to Healthywage are monthly automatic payments. The minimum wager is $100.(spread out over the course of your bet, not monthly) They DO NOT do refunds, so make sure you're absolutely ready when/if you sign up. If you don't meet the weight loss goal, you will lose your money.
I think I've covered the basics, but if you have any other questions, feel free to send me a PM! I'll put my link below if you want to check out the prize calculator. (That's free, no obligation) If you sign up through that link, a bonus $40 will be added to your payout!

My bet had me more focused and committed than I've ever been, because I'm super competitive and didn't want to lose all the $ I put into it. I lost 100 pounds, won my bet, and I feel better than I have in years.

Challenge yourself. You are worth it, and you CAN do it.

I lost 68 lbs with a Healthywage challenge. I placed my bet of $50 a month for six months and won $1037. It's definitely legit, took my family on vacation last in July 2019 with my winnings. It's a great motivator.

This program helps give you the motivation you need to loose the weight. I have only been at it for one month of my 9 month challenge, but am well ahead of schedule. 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/*******/

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 consider the 18 months of my HealthyWage experience an investment in my health both physically and emotionally. It was an awesome experience for me. Even if I had not won the $5796. 88, I would have considered myself a winner losing 115 pounds! But with the cash incentive from HealthyWage, it made my weight-loss victory so much sweeter. HealthyWage is an awesome business and a great ally in the weight-loss journey. I highly recommend HealthyWage!

Hi Stacy. We offer the option to Buy More Time to our HealthyWager participants as a courtesy to help you hit your goal without losing your full initial investment.

Many people take advantage of the opportunity to extend their time - it is very common, but your complaint is not common. The fact that your original prize will not change is actually explained to you in a few places.

1) The pop-up (as shown in the screenshot you shared in the HealthyWager chat room) lets you know that "your prize will not change" in the last sentence.

2) The Buy More Time FAQ (https://www.healthywage.com/faq/healthywager-buy-more-time-faqs/) states:

How much does it cost to buy more time?
Buying more time will add an extra six months’ worth of your original wager amount onto your HealthyWager. Example: if your original wager was $50 per month for 12 months, and you buy more time, you will owe an additional $300 (or $50 x 6 monthly installments). Example: if your original wager was $30 per month for 9 months, you will owe an additional $180 (or $30 x 6 monthly installments).

How will buying more time affect my prize?
Your prize (i. E., the amount HealthyWage will pay you if you win) does not change in any way when you buy more time. If you win, the amount HealthyWage will pay you will be exactly the same as the amount you would have won without buying more time (you will not recoup the additional fee you pay to buy more time, even if you win).

3. The HealthyWager Rules (https://www.healthywage.com/rules/healthywager-challenge-rules/) state:

You can buy more time
You have the option to extend your challenge by buying more time. The option will be available on your dashboard until the end date of your challenge. Buying more time will add six months (and six months’ worth of cost) to your HealthyWager. The prize and weight loss goal will remain the same. When you buy more time, your prize does not change and you will not recoup the additional investment (even if you win). The extra money buys you additional time to win your original prize payout amount.

Example: Mary starts a six-month HealthyWager paying $50 each month to lose 50 pounds with a prize of $1,000. She realizes she will not hit her goal in time, so she buys more time. She will then pay an additional $50 each month for another 6 months (for a total additional investment of $600). If she wins, she will get her original $1,000 prize amount (she will not get her $300 additional investment back).

The Healthy Wager app is real! I wagered $50 a month for 12 months and won over $2,000!
Their app lets you do weigh ins as often as you like but only requires 2-one at the beginning at one at the end. Getting your winnings is hassle free and quick. I had mine within 2 days of completing my challenge.
Their staff is responsive to questions and emails. You never feel alone or wondering. They have a community room for others that are also doing the challenge that are there for support also.

Loving Healthy Wage
March 19, 2019

This is such a wonderful app/site. I have done 4 challenges in the last 6 months, 3 small ones and 1 BIG one. I lost 40lbs in 6 months and won $1538. 00 (I invested $600)and if I had of had more faith in myself I would have submitted a much higher wager.

This is a great way to communicate with others who have the same goal as you and to help keep you focused on the prize.

So it's like getting 3 for 1! You get your investment back, you lose weight, and you get more money on top of what you invested.

It's a WIN WIN, no matter how you look at it.

Good luck and come on and join me because I've just started another challenge

I can't be more happy with this company that lets you challenge yourself and pays you if/when you meet your weight loss goals. No better way to stay motivated. It's pretty straight forward and they have an easy process to send the weigh ins. I recommend them very much

This worked great for me!
February 27, 2019

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.

Great motivation!
January 12, 2019

I challenged myself to lose 65 pounds in 8 months. I bet $125 per month, and collected $3,252.38! I was a little hesitant to sign up, because it seemed too good to be true. I encourage anyone considering HealthyWage to give it a try, it could be exactly the motivation you need!

I participated in the HealthyWage challenge personal bet in 2018. I challenged myself to lose 55 pounds. I bet $100 per month to lose 55lbs in 7 months. It was the best decision I ever made. Not only did I lose the weight, I won $2,234! Money was a huge motivator for me. I couldn't let myself lose and I didn't. I enjoyed receiving fitness tips and motivation from other participants and tracked my progress on the app. I remained consistent with my dieting and workouts. HealthyWage is the best motivation tool ever!

Fantastic Motivation
January 10, 2019

Early last year I found myself looking for some motivation to stick to a diet and weight loss plan. I was already two months into the year and I needed a kick in the butt. I found this site after a google search. I admit I was skeptical because it sounded easy, almost too good to be true. I also wondered how any site can afford to pay out more than the bet but I work in a field were I project odds so I figured it was probably real because so many people fail (like I had before) the site can afford to pay those who meet their goals. I wanted to lose 75 pounds and decided to give myself 10 months to do it. Total bet $400. Potential pay out over $1400. Off I went. Since there was no way I was going to lose my bet I started with great focus and was doing well the first three weeks or so. That's when I joined my first team challenge which catapulted my weight loss. In the last ten months I have joined my personal healthy wager, two team challenges and more individual challenges than I can count. My total Investment? About $700. My total winnings? Over $4K. Time to take the family on a cruise.

This site does everything it says it will. The individual and team challenges have the most potential for winning dollars. But even the individual challenges are better than interest on your money in a bank. Plus, each challenge group introduces you to real people who are doing the same thing you're doing (steps, 6% loss, team loss or individual healthy wager). This gives you a group of people to vent to, to ask questions, etc. Its great support. Collecting your winnings is easy, verified weigh ins are easy. Its never taken more than a few days to collect my money via Paypal.

Set a goal and stick with it. Be realistic about how much time it will take you and don't lose focus. In the end you will win exactly what the site says you can win. Where else can you spend $75 for a real chance at $2K? Maybe Vegas. But then there is that buffet. Oh dear.

Everything about this site and company is real. Customer service responses are fast via email. Payouts are exactly what they say they should be and are quick. Bet on yourself! You wont be sorry.

You get to see the exact prize you can win when you enter your actual weight and high and then you can play with the weight you want to loose the time you'll need until you find the right bet for you

Use my referal link and you'll get another 40$ bucks added to your prize

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!

I don't gamble and I never take bets, however if there is one thing I'm willing to put my mouth and money on - it's me. May 2018 I made the choice of signing up to HealthyWage - best decision EVER! My goal was to lose 50 pounds in 6 months. In HealthyWage you have online coaches, a community of other competitors, and a support board where you go through diets, social meet ups (if in your area) or tips in your journey. I've made some good friends and even learned some new things about my diet and body. I lost 52 pounds and cashed out in total $2,357.68 (including mini challenges). If you ever question this betting site. Let me be your proof. It isn't a scam and you do get paid. (*******@mangojuicexxo)
