It’s okay to admit it:

You probably have lots of reasons for wanting to lose weight, but you are struggling to start or continue the journey with your weight loss motivation.

Clear goals are the key to any weight loss success story. But if you’re like most people, you may find that you need motivation to lose weight, and finding motivation to shed pounds can be tough.
 
 
The good news is, studies show financial incentives reward can help people to lose weight with stronger will power and determination.

Research on Weight Loss Challenge with Cash Incentives

According to Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), research found people who were given financial incentives to lose weight were 5 times more likely to meet their goals than those without cash motivation.

In another weight loss research revealed by Mayo Clinic reported that participants who received cash incentives were more likely to stick with the weight loss program and lost more weight than participants who received no incentives. In this study:

• All participants were given a common goal of losing 4 pounds per month
• 26% of people in non-incentive groups met goal with mean weight loss of 2.34 pounds
• 62% of people in incentive groups met the goal with mean weight loss of 9.08 pounds

Yeah, when most of us love to win money, people hate to lose money too — just as the last interviewee Julian Horowitz in video above.

Assistant Professor Mitesh Patel of the University of Pennsylvania conducted an award-winning study that included loss aversion incentive, in which an escrowed up-front financial reward was decreased each time the employee failed to meet the weight loss performance goals.

This research found that:

“Among overweight obese employees, a wellness incentive designed to leverage loss aversion was significantly more effective for increasing physical activity than alternative incentive designs with the same economic value.”
