Good Morning,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a weight loss challenges online that offer money as a reward for weight loss. I feel that I need the extra push to get back on track after the holidays... any suggestions would be great... I heard of a website that has you pay money into it and if you lose what you say you're going to lose... they double your pot but if you do not meet your goal you lose it. If that makes sense =] Any suggestions??

    Hi I don't know about any online challenges but a friend of mine keeps a weight loss money jar. Here is her quote from facebook on how it works: "I pay myself for doing healthy things: 5 cents for each fruit/veggie, 25 cents if I meet my water quota for the day, 50 cents for each activity point, $1 for staying within points range for the day, $5 bonus for staying within points for the week, and $1 for each pound lost. I don't withdraw for bad things! So I can look at my jar and say, "THIS IS HOW HEALTHY I'VE BEEN!""
