Do you have 10% excess body weight? If so, you can invest $102 in Healthy Wage Next week and lose that weigh in 6 months.
If you do that, you’ll get at the very minimum $213.33 back. That’s a 111% profit. At the very minimum.
What you have to do is use this link to access the Healthy Wage web site, and set up a 6-month HealthyWager. The link provides a $100 addition to your Healthy Wage prize upon completing the weight the loss. This $100 is what guarantees the more-than-double return on investment.
On HealthyWagers, the return on investment is customized. It is based on your starting weight and height, as well as the percentage of weight you are trying to lose. But it is always at least 11%—actually, 11.1%.
So if you wager $17 per month for 6 months, or $102 total—the minimum stake for a 6-month HealthyWager—you will be offered a prize of no less than $113.33. This is true no matter what your starting weight and height are, as long as you pledge to lose at least 10% of your bodyweight.
It’s only a $11.33 profit. But with the $100 prize boost, that prize skyrockets to $213.33. The profit is now $111.33, and the ROI is 111%.
If you have any flab anywhere on your body, you can probably find 10% of your weight to drop. Are you drinking lots of pop (soda or Coke, depending on where you live)? Drinking lots of beer? Is there some sugary crap you eat a lot of that you can do without for awhile, or at least cut back on?
If you can commit to giving up one or more of these things, you might just have this bet in the bag. The money you save over the 6 months by giving them up will most likely fund the wager.
A couple of other useful points I’d like to mention:
- At Healthy Wage, the wager clock does NOT start when you sign up. It starts when you do your video weigh in. If you are going to watch the football thing next Sunday—the one that involves no Patriots for once—you can sign up this week and do the weigh in after you have filled up on wings, chips, beer, pizza, etc. Once you offload all of that crap in a few days, you will probably be halfway to goal.
- If you are going to watch the Patriot-less thing with friends, you can recruit them to do the same thing you are doing.
- All players at Healthy Wage have referral links. Normally you get $40 added to your prize when you refer somebody, and your buddy gets $40 on his prize.
- However, for the first 10 days after you sign up—to be precise, the day you sign up and the following 9 days—you get $100 for a referral instead of $40. The football game will fall within this 10-day window.
- Your friend still gets a $40 boost. Of course, he could use my link and get a $100 boost to start. But if you refer him, that’s $140 for the two of you to share, which may be a better deal if y’all are close. It’s up to you whether you refer him yourself or if you send him my link. (If you chose the latter, thank you very much in advance! And if you’re from New England, then forget what I said earlier and Go Pats!)
- Finally, your friend can refer a friend, who can refer a friend, etc. Evert referral is $100 to the referrer within the first 10 days. Make a chain!
Now, if you are a bit heftier, you’ll have the opportunity to get much more than double on your money. It may be a triple or quadruple on your money. You can make more aggressive pledges and put more at stake, and take Healthy Wage to the cleaners!
If you want to see what is possible, check out my HWSim algorithm-busting app. Then go to Healthy Wage and sign up.
For the women: all of the above applies to you—except that the returns are likely to be better than for the men.
For all of you: come to the Healthy Wage Facebook page or The Winning Skinny Facebook page and see my comments in the posts. I comment there almost every day, and answer lots of questions about the service. They actually let me link to my app there—which is amazing because I always thought my app was rather subversive—it pulls the veil back on the hidden net gain caps in the calculator, and tells you how to extract the most profit possible. Send me a comment via Messenger and I will write you back!
