This is a blog about my fitness journey over the past year, and my experience with several online services that allow you to pledge money that you will make a weight loss or fitness commitment—and earn a profit for doing so.

I will discuss Healthy Wage and Waybetter. Both companies have different games available for investing money in weight loss and fitness. Both have different interfaces and marketing strategies.

I have used both successfully—in fact, I have lost 95 of my excess pounds as of this writing. I plan to lose another 20 or so to get to a weight I would like to maintain indefinitely. The two companies have assisted in the latter months of this weight loss.

I have a specific interest in the feature service of Healthy Wage—a long term weight loss bet of your design, with a rate of return customized to the parameters of the bet. The calculator for determining rate of return and absolute profit is obscure. But I have investigated and learned enough about that calculator to determine quickly where the optimum bet points are. Especially important is identifying the maximum amount of dollars that the company will offer for a specific pledge—and not to bet so much that this maximum is breached, and some of the dollars being wagered are earning no money (or, worse, actually losing money).

Both companies are terrific for accomplishing weight loss and fitness goals—if you know what you are doing beforehand.
