Healthy Wage?

texastorn8do

Hello fellow brides-to-be!!!

I have decided to do the Healthy wage challenge!!! I am so excited...and if my team wins we get to split the reward money!!! I am super excited....this is going to be fun, lose weight and get money for my wedding!!!!

Anyone else tried this? Thoughts?

I have my personal trainer and I have been running....going to get in shape this year for good....and I thought maybe money would motivate me!!! :-)

This sounds sort of vendor-y...

Yay?

1.  Dare I say vendor?

2.  If not a vendor... I would say this is an awesome idea, but remember this is a long term goal.  I have seen people do things for prizes before and once there was no longer a prize incentive they gave up on their workouts.  I'm not saying you would do this but it's something to keep in mind.

No need to delete.  I heard something about those type of challenges on the news.  Care to tell us a bit about it?

From what i understand, people get a group together for a challenge, pay in and then the profits are split among the high performers?  Can you personalize the challenge or is it just a pound loss sort of thing?

What does everyone else think of this sort of thing?

Hmmm, ok.

Well, I don't personally love it.  I think most people do the best when they're motivated to make healthy lifestyle changes by well...the desire to get healthier and lose weight and get in better shape.

However, I can see how it would be a great way to get people started.  Hopefully they would end up enjoying their new healthier lifestyle enough that they'd continue even when the motivation was gone.

i agree completely.  But I suppose with all the "help motivate me" posts, maybe someone could benefit.  I don't think it would work for me.  I'm motivated by happiness not money.
