The program is designed to not only inspire and encourage participants to stick with the effort and reach their weight loss goals (via any method of their choice) and be financially rewarded in kind, but also simultaneously experience a transformative journey that goes beyond dieting; one incorporating a more holistic lifestyle shift improving nutrition, fitness and mental well-being overall for the long-run.
Having paid out more than $68 million cash rewards for a collective 4+ million pounds lost since launching in 2009, HealthyWage has maintained its position as the world’s leading purveyor of money-driven diet contests and challenges for individuals, teams and corporate wellness groups. The company’s extensive track record of inspiring success is exemplified by throngs of Success Stories showcasing both women and men who’ve achieved life-changing transformations through HealthyWage Challenges—many with weight loss excess of 100 pounds and winnings over $10,000.
A Body Positivity Approach to Weight Loss
Unlike traditional weight loss initiatives that focus solely on the scale, HealthyWage’s challenge is rooted in body positivity. The campaign emphasizes self-acceptance, body care and personal transformation. It’s designed to inspire participants to prioritize self-care, celebrate their bodies, and invest in their overall well-being.
“The Love Your Body Challenge” is about more than just shedding pounds; it promotes self-acceptance and celebrates diversity in all body shapes and sizes,” said David Roddenberry, HealthyWage Co-Founder “It’s also about embracing the weight-loss journey, practicing self-care and recognizing the strength and beauty within at every stage the process. This challenge aligns with numerous 2024 studies highlighting the importance of body positivity and mental health, including research finding that taking breaks from social media can significantly enhance self-esteem and body image. Other study findings confirmed that exposure to body-positive imagery boosts satisfaction and reduces weight concerns. We embrace these mindsets and practices, which can reduce angst during one’s weight-loss journey and make the experience over much more joyful…not to mention lucrative.”

Upping the Ante with the ‘HealthyWager’

Participants can win up to $10,000 for achieving their targets.
HealthyWage is founded on substantive research and “double-incentivization” methodology that proves competition and rewards—especially the cash variety—can as much as triple the effectiveness of weight loss programs. And, the proof is in the performance in the form of quantifiable and undeniable metrics that behavioral economics-based gamification works when it comes to weight loss.
“Studies continue to show that monetary incentives serve to enhance the effectiveness of, and duly complement, weight-loss programs of any and all sorts, especially when paid out quickly like our various programs,” said Roddenberry. “The average HealthyWager participant more than doubles their investment if they are successful at achieving their goal. The financial upside potential is impressive.”
So effective is this diet gamification method, famous personalities have joined HealthyWage in the fight to get America fit including global health and fitness expert Jillian Michaels, as well as actress and talk show host Sherri Shepherd, to name a few.
