5 Ways to Get Paid For Losing Weight In 2020

Many of us start the New Year off with the same old resolutions, and lots of times those resolutions include losing weight and getting fit.

While some people see this through and lose the weight they vow they are going to, I think it's safe to say that most of us have fallen off the wagon completely within a month or less!

But what if we could actually get paid to lose that weight? I don't know about you, but I really think that a money incentive would certainly motivate me to stick to my goals!

In case you weren't aware, there actually are a couple of ways you can lose weight and get paid for it.

So if you have major plans to lose weight this year and you're worried that you won't be able to see them through, you might want to look these options over and really consider trying one or more of them out.

5 Ways To Get Paid To Lose Weight In 2020

1 – Healthy Wage

Healthy Wage is another site that lets you join weight loss games with the promise of a financial reward if you meet your goals. I am actually using this one myself right now!

This one also requires an entry fee, but just like DietBet, the cost is not too bad — about $25 per month for the team challenges, and you can choose how much you want to bet if you prefer to bet on yourself and not join a challenge.

Healthy Wage has a handy calculator on their site that tells you what your prize will be based on how much you want to lose and how much you're willing to bet.

There are lots of testimonials on the site showing people who have won $1,000 and more along with losing a substantial amount of weight.

If you meet your goals, you can get paid in cash — check or Paypal — or you can opt for credit at Amazon. For more details on how it works, you can check out my review of Healthy Wage or just go ahead and check out the site here.

2 – DietBet

You can earn money for losing weight with DietBet by betting on yourself to lose the weight.

There are different competitions going on at all times — some short-term and some long-term — and you can choose to either create your own betting game and invite people to join in, or browse the site and find betting games you want to join.

All participants have to throw a little money into the pot, and at the end of the bet the people who have met their goals get to split what's in the pot.

You can join bets for as little as $10, and if you are one of the winners, you'll be paid via Paypal. For more details on how DietBet works, you can read my review of DietBet here.

3 – Walgreen's Balance Rewards

If you have a Walgreen's near you, you can sign up for their Balance Rewards program and earn rewards for your healthy habits.

They will give you points for various healthy tasks you complete like weighing in, achieving a health goal, exercise, not smoking, etc.

You can connect your Balance Rewards account to your Fitbit and MyFitnessPal to make the tracking easier for you.

While Balance Rewards doesn't actually pay you cash, the points will translate to savings on your Walgreen's purchases which is more or less the same thing, especially if you shop at Walgreen's often (and many people do as this is a major drugstore chain).

4 –  RunBet

This one is similar to DietBet and HealthyWage (listed above). The goal is to make running a habit with a money incentive to help ensure you stick to it.

All you have to do is choose a game with goals that suit you, and set a running schedule and stick to it for several weeks. If you stick to your schedule, you'll win a portion of the jackpot for the game you joined. This will equal the bet you put in plus a profit.

5 – Achievement

This is an app you can download to your Android or Apple device and get paid cash for doing healthy things like tracking your steps, eating right, getting good sleep, and so on.

You can connect Achievement to several different popular apps like the one you use for your Fitbit, Strava, Garmin, MyFitnessPal, and more.

Payments are made via Paypal or direct deposit. Every 10,000 points you earn is equivalent to $10 in cash.
