Anybody used Healthy Wage before?

Never heard of it

Bizarre

Played with it all the way until they asked for my email, so I didn't get to see what the prize would have been.

Seems like free money for anyone who knows how to cut weight, or does keto.

There's gotta be a catch somewhere.

sounds ripe for scam... I would not

cincinnatikid513 · 02-19-18, 01:11 AM

seems like a good way motivate people lose weight, idk though seems too good to be true looked at website some lady lost 41 pounds in 18 months and won 10,000, i mean how hard is it to lose 41 pounds in 18 months seems too easy

A lot of it depends on how much you bet initially as well. I'm sure they are included those in the payoffs

If I lose 19 pounds I would only get 11% ROI in 6 months almost nothing.

Yeah you really have to be a shitshow of a human to be able to make anything lol

d2bets · 02-19-18, 10:05 AM

Who are you making money from? How do they verify? Haven't looked, but seems sketchy.

GUMMO77 · 02-19-18, 10:36 AM

If someone has issues with overeating losing 15-20 lbs is no big deal. The thing that trips up so many people with Healthy Wage is keeping the weight off for six months.

jjgold · 02-19-18, 10:59 AM

scam checked site out

stay away

GUMMO77 · 02-19-18, 01:20 PM

It's not a scam. A friend of mine did this about a year ago and got paid.

You have to send before and after photos; photos or video of your initial weigh-in; and you have to track your weight on their system. At least that's how it was when he did it.

Like I said before, they make their money on people that can't keep the weight off for six months, which for those that are on and off dieting, is hard to do. You can't lose say 30 lbs in four months and get paid. You have to go the whole six months.

Good post Gummo. You have to weigh in during a 2 week timeframe 6 months later to win the prize. It was really easy to get verified. You essentially just post a video of you showing you are in proper attire and don't have stuff hidden to make you heavier and then you weigh on camera too.

TPowell · 02-19-18, 01:26 PM

I did this same thing 2 years ago and ended up losing 50 in the same timeframe. I probably should have done that as anybody can cut 10 pounds in 3-4 days with proper water management and a cleanse

diet bet is a little easier

I'll have to look into it. Glanced at it but seemed a little more complicated at first

nah you just download the app and it walks you through all the steps to enter a competition

if you meet your weight you split the pot with the other winners in competition. after they take their rake... usually pays about 35-50% ROI for winners. but its small stakes. I just like to have a deadline, the $ doesn't matter to win, but I would hate to lose even a buck.

True, I may do it since I'm already doing the other one. I'll put up $900 to win like $600 (plus the $900) on the other one.

well if its not a scam its pretty easy to cheat the site - put a magnet on the right side of the scale and the scale will show a different number. so if u lay a magnet under the scale during the initial weigh to make oneself 10 kilo heavier. u shall easily make money

These sites are definitely legit. One thing I noticed though is they can CHOOSE for you to come in to somewhere physically and weigh-in. My guess is if you do something crazy like lose weight hella fast and don't space it out between weigh-ins, they will make you come in

reigle9 · 02-19-18, 02:55 PM

i went the life route of not being a fat or poor loser from the start

would def scam this dipshit site if it were possible for me to be fat

ufc dudes should get on here and make more money than they do from the company

Ralphie Halves · 02-19-18, 03:30 PM

I'm pretty sure it's super ROI positive for the site. Most people don't have the will to make it happen.

A lot of fat fukks here in town have lost crazy weight from keto. I had a good 10 pounds I wanted off, and I got there in a month the same way.

So many ways to get there, yet I'll bet that site rakes.

Dietbet does. I saw the chart. I like Healthy Wage because they tell you exactly what you'll get and it doesn't matter what anybody else does. I'm down 7 pounds since my verified weighin. I loaded bad haha

Underdog5229 · 02-19-18, 05:49 PM

good luck tpowell i hope you hit your goal weight and keep it off.

here's to a healthy lifestyle

thechaoz · 02-19-18, 06:21 PM

How do they confirm current measurements/weight. How do they confirm those same stats at the end?

Why cant I just say that I'm 350lbs and I want to lose 180 and be at my current weight of 170?

Weighin video that you have to take before and after

I just figured out how to angle shoot the shit out of this. This is free cash boys. So you have to be in a video, being recorded on a scale showing a weight, with a full body shot. How would one manipulate a weight showing on a scale?

Protip. You don't have to be naked. No one give our secrets away. I'm 170 but could probably get away with showing like what? 220? with the right clothes

It specifies the type of clothing you have to have in like nothing below the knee and such.

Ever heard of weight belts?

True. I'm down 12 pounds so far without any water deprivation or anything crazy after 5 days.

thechaoz · 02-24-18, 11:21 AM

Do essentially.. Take current weight or men's even add a few lbs... Strap on 20-30lbs. Max contribution...

Free money.. They are very thin and tight to the body
