S Legit Ways to Get Paid to Lose Weight in 2019 (with Free Apps!)

1. Set your goal (in this case weight loss).
2. Sign a “Commitment Contract” which is basically you saying you will stick to it.
3. Bet on achieving your goal by adding “Stakes” (in other words, putting some money down).
4. Meet your goal and get paid within 72 hours via PayPal.

Now, you don’t have to actually bet money. You can just use any form of accountability but because studies have shown money is a good motivator, most people choose to bet on themselves with cash

In case you don’t meet your goal, StickK gives you four options for who you want to receive that money.

The options include:

• Friend or Foe: Basically anyone you know (friends, family, coworkers, etc).
• Charity: You can choose from a list of 15+ 501(c)(3) organizations.
• stickK: The platform gets to keep the money.
• Anti-Charity: An organization you don’t like. (Obviously, you can choose a charity that you want to get the money but isn’t listed as one of the options when you choose “CXhaorty” to be your recipient).

Overall, this is a great site to use for helping you achieve any kind of goal.

5. Walgreen’s Balance Rewards

Walgreen’s Balance Rewards (review here) is one of the best rewards programs out there where you earn points for every purchase you make at Walgreens.

Now, what most people may not know about the program is that you can also use to earn points for doing healthy activities and habits.

You can set any health-related goal you like – losing weight, not smoking, working out, etc.

The program, just like Achievement, lets you connect to your activity tracker app like FitBit so you can track your activities easier and faster.

Now, the one drawback to the program, for those of us how like cold hard cash, is that Walgreens doesn’t pay you cash for achieving your goals. Instead, any point you earn will translate into savings on any Walgreens purchase you make. This is actually a great way to hit two birds with one stone, establish healthier habits and activities and save money at Walgreens!

6. FitCoin

Have you gotten into the Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency thing yet?

Well, this is your chance to earn free Bitcoin. That’s right, instead of paying you in cash for working out and burning calories, FitCoin pays you with Bitcoin.

To start, install the free app, then connect it with your favorite fitness and activity tracker app like RunKeeper or Fitbit.

The app automatically measures your pace and distance to mine Bitcoin.

Needless to say, the more you move the more Bitcoin you mine.

So if you always wanted to get into cryptocurrency without actually putting your own money into investing in it, this is a great way to get your hands on some while working out more and shedding a few pounds.

7. Charity Miles

For those charity-conscious among us, this is a great app. It’s a little different than the other similar apps in that you don’t get paid personally, but you do earn money for a charity of your choice. Every activity earns you cash.

To get started simply install the app for your device, create a free account and choose which charity you want to earn money for. The app lets you track all kinds of movement from walking and running to dancing and biking. For every mile you move, you earn money that goes to the charity of your choice.

This is a great app feel doubly good. Feel good for losing weight and becoming healthier and feel good for earning money for your favorite charities.

Final Thoughts

These apps and programs are really great motivational tools for those of us who need that little extra “kick in the butt” to get started (and stick to) in moving more often and losing weight.

HealthyWage and other apps and sites mentioned here are all legitimate programs that have helped a lot of people already lose weight and become healthier.

They also offer a great range of resources, like exercise tips and weight loss advice, which makes losing weight easier.
