“I realized I was approaching 300 pounds, and knew I needed to do something," Danielle S. says on what prompted her weight loss journey. After seeing HealthyWage on Good Morning America, Danielle decided to place a wager on her weight loss. “I’m a super frugal person, I do not waste money,” she says on her approach to customizing her weight loss challenge where she chose how much weight she wanted to lose, how long she wanted to lose it in, and how much she wanted to wager on herself each month. “I work in finance and am a numbers-driven person. I made spreadsheets of different bets I could make,” she says. “That’s why I loved the progress tracker; I love visual indicators of success. I'm a very money-motivating person and a very competitive person, I do not like to lose.”
Danielle won two HealthyWager challenges, losing a total of 101 pounds and winning $3,982! “I’m proud of what I’ve done. I have such a bright future ahead of me if I keep doing what I learned to do. All I have to do is keep doing what I did and I can continue having a fantastic life.”
