I would love to lose weight and get paid for it, who wouldn't right. I'd be happy getting $1.00 for every pound i lose, now that's a challenge.

i think a dollar a pound is awesome, but keeping it off is the key, i think a monthly weigh in would help me keep it off, (that will cost too :)

A local HMO is starting a new program with the new year - they have a list of healthy lifestyle choices, changes, actions, etc (including daily exercising, going to nutrition classes, and yes, losing weight along with other things like not smoking and going to annual exams) and as you complete these things you check them off and they actually send you cash... you can save it up or get it as you go. The maximum amount annually is somewhere around $500 PER PERSON (or was it adult?) anyway, it sounded like the best idea I've EVER seen come out of an HMO...

It would be very nice to get paid to lose weight Most people really can't afford to have a personal trainer or spend alot of money on losing weight We need all the help we can get and it is nice to see the end results

I need to lose the last 10-13 pounds - a couple hundred bucks would do it for me!

I still have a lot of weight to lose and the food program I am on is expensive. For me to lose the rest of the (130 pounds)getting help with the Slim Fast plan would do it for me. :0) That would help me stay on track.

I heard about a hospital group in IN that is going to start penalizing unhealthy staff members (i.e. those who smoke,have high cholesterol or blood pressure or are obese). They will have a penalty deducted from their pay until they are at a healthy weight, stop smoking, etc. That would keep me as motivated as mailing me a check...

Tell me this how does a housewife going through early menopause who is disabled and on an extremely low income eat the proper food and exercise? I bet there is no solutin is ther ? Because I just cant afford all the fruit and vegetables.I can barely afford beans and rice!

That housewife that is disabled and can't afford beans and rice -- can't you get food stamps? Welfare????

I am in nearly the same boat as the housewife...I go to work everyday, my husband has no luck with the job market right now (that's a story in itself) and I have two children. I, too, would love to lose weight, but cannot afford to buy healthful food and if I do buy it, it must be in small quantities which means you eat less, lowering your metabolism. No, welfare cannot help me--I make too much, but barely. What do you do then?

I really do not think that the money given/offered for weight loss was the actual incentive.
I think those who were successful in losing weight did so because of an unconsious commitment to lose weight (by agreeing to sign up and weigh in) and they felt that it was important to live up to that commitment.
The money they "earned" by losing weight turned out to be the "gravy" they didn't eat while on program!!

Despite what you may have heard, losing weight isn’t a incomprehensible process. In fact, weight loss doesn't even have to include odd diets, uncommon exercises or even the use of medication or fitness equipment. So what is the secret to losing weight effectively? Simply make minor changes each and every single day and you'll slowly but surely lose extra unwanted weight, pound by pound.

Secrets to Weight Loss

To lose a sinlge pound, you must burn approximately 3500 calories above what you already burn while conducting daily activities. That sounds impossible doesn't it? Well, it’s not. Here's how simple it is.

1. Calculate your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). Your BMR is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing and digestion.

2. Calculate your activity level. Use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while doing various things like sitting, standing, exercising, etc. throughout the day.

3. Closely monitor of how many calories you eat. Use a food journal to add up what you eat and drink each and every single day. If you're eating less calories than you're burning, you will lose weight.

Focusing your attention on daily changes is the best way to reach your weight loss goals. Don’t expect to lose weight overnight. Instead expect to lose weight gradually over time. To lose weight gradually over time, is to lose weight the healthy way. When attempting to lose weight it’s important that you always remember, your Health is more important than your Appearance!
