Through this process, I not only lost 120 pounds, but also learned lifelong strategies to lose and maintain my weight loss."

Was it easy? Absolutely not! Was it worth it? 100 percent!!! I want to be around for many years to come for my family and myself, and I will be doing it in my best healthy body!"

“I realized I was approaching 300 pounds, and knew I needed to do something," Danielle S. says on what prompted her weight loss journey. After seeing HealthyWage on Good Morning America, Danielle decided to place a wager on her weight loss. “I’m a super frugal person, I do not waste money,” she says on her approach to customizing her weight loss challenge where she chose how much weight she wanted to lose, how long she wanted to lose it in, and how much she wanted to wager on herself each month. “I work in finance and am a numbers-driven person. I made spreadsheets of different bets I could make,” she says. “That’s why I loved the progress tracker; I love visual indicators of success. I'm a very money-motivating person and a very competitive person, I do not like to lose."

"For a long period of time, I felt stuck, like I couldn’t be where I am now. I’m now seeing that I can do so many other things that I couldn’t do at 365 pounds because you think the world is just shut off to you, and there’s size limitations.”
Samantha M. from Romeoville, IL
