Weight loss bet through HealthyWage

I tried the app HealthyWage last year and missed my goal weight by only 2 pounds which was really frustrating... But I have kept the weight off because I lost it in a healthy way over time. So I’ve decided to give the app another shot, and this time my husband’s going to do it with me. You bet a certain amount of money on yourself for anywhere from 6-18 months, and if you hit your goal of losing at least 10% of your total weight by your deadline, you win your money back and then some! (There’s a calculator to play around with different weight loss amounts, number of months, and dollar amounts before committing to your specific terms, to see what sounds like the best fit for your goal.)

We’ve been having trouble getting pregnant and are starting to find out why with my doctor’s help, but being overweight isn’t helping. If I were to conceive during this bet, I would be able to freeze it until after delivery. I just wanted to share because I have a hard time getting motivated, but am the cheapest person alive so financial incentive helps... and after months of not being able to travel or do much of anything fun this year, the goal of being healthier by next year’s swimsuit season should help me stick to it!

HealthyWage will add an extra $40 to your total prize if you use a referral, so here’s my link: https://hwage.co/2208669/

I know it sounds like a too-good-to-be-true situation, but the way they afford to offer people money above what they pay in is from folks who don’t reach their goal like I did last year... 😕 So I don’t recommend setting a goal that seems unrealistic and erring on the side of caution instead with a number that’s definitely achievable through making healthy lifestyle changes.
