Research shows that the chance to win money enhances weight loss success, making dieters up to five times more likely to lose weight. Here are six apps that pay you to lose weight and be active.

HealthyWage allows you to place a bet on your weight loss goal. If you reach your target within the set timeframe, you’ll win a cash prize, up to $10,000. The amount you can win depends on factors such as your goal, timeframe, and bet amount. Earn an additional $40 – $100 by referring friends who join.
