    How does it work? Can you only "bet" on losing weight, or can you say "I bet $50 a day that I will workout everyday for the next 6 months"?

    Weight loss. But they have other pots (challenges) you can do. It’s all weight loss tho.

    You will lose your money though if you don't reach the goal you bet on.

    Can you place wagers that you'll backslide and regain weight? :#

    You can do some challenges that don’t require weight loss, I am currently doing a step challenge. If I increase my steps by 25% over a 60 day window I win. If I don’t I lose my bet. I am also doing a weight loss bet. Mine is pretty reasonable 20lbs by October 3. The pot is not a big as some, but I also want to make sure I continue to lose at a slow a steady pace.

    Well if you can keep up that many steps and meet ur challenge you’ll probably lose weight and tone up lol. Most folks I see doing it is also doing the weight loss challenge which kinda goes hand and hand on there lol

    @OOODINA777 - DietBet is similar but does have message boards/ community forum. I have not done Healthy Wage so I can’t compare but I like diet bet. They also have weekly weigh ins and monthly targets (which include payout if you are at goal).
