3 Ways to Get Paid for Losing Weight

The only thing better than losing weight is making money for losing weight. Yes, you read that correctly: Not only is it possible to get paid for losing weight, it may make your weight loss even more rewarding after your journey is complete. Although many of us have unwanted fat around our middles, we can pretty much all agree that having a fatter wallet is a good thing.

So here’s the exciting news: You have a few different options to get paid for losing weight. Whether you prefer to shed pounds as part of a group or if you want to do a solo transformation, there are opportunities that can help you lose weight while gaining money. We can’t think of better motivation to make healthier choices than that!

1. Download apps that pay you to lose weight.

As they say, there’s an app for everything these days — and that includes weight loss. However, some weight-loss apps up the ante by offering a financial reward for hitting your weight-loss goal. One of the most popular options is DietBet, which allows users to bet money on losing a certain amount of body weight in a specific period of time. Another popular one is HealthyWage, which offers participants the chance to earn up to $10,000 in cash from competing in weight-loss challenges.

2. Join an online rewards program for weight loss.

If you prefer to explore weight-loss rewards programs on your computer instead of your mobile device, Swagbacks is a great option. Much like other rewards programs in general, this one offers you the chance to get paid for simple tasks such as watching online videos. But as Money Talks News reported, something that separates this website from others is the impressive amount of fitness videos available to watch, such as a yoga workout and a cycling exercise. Why pay for a gym membership when you can get paid to DIY your own routine at home?

3. Start a side gig that makes you sweat.

If you’re the outdoorsy type, you could take up a side hustle that gets your body hustling, such as a camp counselor position or a river-rafting guide job. Prefer staying indoors? Consider taking up a new fitness skill such as pilates or yoga for women over 50. If you practice enough, you can work your way up to becoming a part-time teacher to get a whole group of people — and yourself — in better shape. Bonus: You’ll be much less likely to skip a workout if you’re the teacher and class is in session!
