Could you lose 10 pounds before Fiesta? What about 20? Would you be willing to bet on it? There's a new company that will not only motiviate you to shed a few pounds but also double or even triple your investment.
It wasn't too long ago that San Antonio was called the fattest city in America. And currently San Antonio is still in the top 10. But if you're tired of the bulge how about a friendly wager with Healthywage.com.
"They are actually able to put in a hundred dollars of their own money and if six months later they can verify that they've lost 10 percent of their body weight they receive $200 back," said Brandon Smythe of Healthywage.com.
Whether it's baby weight, too many breakfast tacos or just wanting to slim down, that 10 percent can be as few as ten pounds or as many as you need, and Smythe says putting a little green on the challenge is a strong motivator.
"We've had over 880,000 pounds lost through Healthy Wage over the past two years across the country," he said. "We've also given out over $440,000 to individuals to help them loose the weight."
To up the ante, try sweating it off for the BMI or body mass index challege. If you go from an obese 30 BMI to a healthy 25 or less BMI you win a grand. Or how about the term "weight loss comptetition"?
"It's based on a percentage of weight loss," Smythe said, "but the first place team gets $10,000."
It's as easy as creating a profile, weighing in to start and weighing out to collect your cash. Really the only thing you have to lose is weight.
