The good news is that there are ways that you can lose weight and earn a bit of cash at the same time. Financial rewards can be a big incentive and the following apps and websites can be used to earn money by losing weight.

Pact
You can set the number of days that you will complete a set activity on Pact. You will be charged for any days that you miss, but if you complete the pact for the week then you will receive a reward.

WellCoin
WellCoins can be earned throughout the day as you take part in healthy activities such as exercising and getting enough sleep. These coins can then be exchanged for offers from companies that Wellcoin works with including Reebok and Puma.
Swagbucks
With Swagbucks, you can earn money from watching videos and there is a good selection of fitness videos on the site that will let you earn as you workout. There are also other ways to earn such as searching the web and completing surveys.
Walgreens Rewards For Healthy Choices
You can earn rewards from Walgreens whenever you complete a healthy activity. This can be anything from weighing in, monitoring your blood pressure or quitting smoking.
Final Thoughts
You have the chance to earn a decent sum of money from Healthy Wage, but none of the other programs are going to make you rich. However, even a little something extra is better than nothing, and there is no reason why you can’t take part in all of these at the same time. So, why not try them, and have a little fun while you lose weight.
