Losing Weight For Money?

I came across a very interesting article about a weight loss study the other day. This study, conducted by researchers at RTI International based in Research Triangle Park North Carolina found that people will lose weight for money. The best part, is it does not even take a lot of money for people to lose weight. According to this study, people would lose weight for as little as $7.00. This is a the latest trend offered by many companies, offering benefits for healthy lifestyles.

Most heartening is the underlying idea: you can reward people to change their behavior. This is exactly the premise of MyFitness 1st.

The Fitness Ambassador and Junior Fitness Ambassador programs reward kids who are willing to model and influence positive behaviors incorporating fitness, exercise and healthy eating. We are empowering youth to be a solution to their problem. The reward is money for college. Through these programs, kids learn how to live healthy lifestyles, learn how to lead others to achieve positive goals, and get money put aside to alleviate the costs of higher education. There is no downside to this proposition.

What incentives would help you to lose weight?
