One of the biggest challenges with doing a diet is sticking with it and staying motivated. HealthyWage is trying a new approach that just might work. HealthyWage will pay up to $1,000 to users of their site that get their BMI from 30 or above down to 25 or less within a year. Users of the site also have to check in on a weekly basis.

HealthyWage offers various tools on their website to help people who want to lose weight. It's a support based approach. When you sign up you get a personalized program with tips, strategies and goals to help you change your unhealthy/fattening habits into good habits.

Your progress is tracked on their website and you will get to interact with other dieters for social support. As time goes by and you begin to reach your first goals, you'll feel empowered to set new goals and eventually make some major achievements.

The website offers sophisticated recording and tracking tools that provide personalized advice and long term support for your dieting efforts.

But, lets face it, the website isn't really new. There are other website that offere similar services. What's new here is the cash incentive to lose weight. Maybe it wont work for everyone. But, for people who really care about money, this may just be the motivation they need to finally lose that excess weight. Maybe you are one of those people.
