Getting paid to lose weight

NEW YORK

Really pushing yourself and others to lose weight and win cash. That's what the HealthyWage program is all about.

Jimmy Flemming is the co-founder of the program. Participants can sign up online or through their employer for one of three challenges.

The most popular challenge: the match up. It's a $75 dollar, three month program. The team that loses the highest percentage of weight wins ten thousand dollars.

There are two other programs: double or nothing is an individual program. For $150 fee, lose 10% of your weight in six months win $300.

In the BMI challenge, win up to one thousand dollars if go from a BMI of 30 to 25.

Between all of the challenges, HealthyWage has awarded more than 430-thousand dollars in prizes.
