Wouldn’t it be great to get paid to lose weight? An innovative new website has created a system to do just that. Healthywage.com  has created a system which gets corporate sponsors to give a cash reward to obese users who during a specified time period move from an unhealthy to a healthy body mass index (BMI). (This typically translates into a weight loss of between 30 and 80 lb.) Members can either sign up for free – according to a company rep, the final deadline to enter the next 12-month challenge is Jan. 20 – and win $100 or “super-size” their weight-loss incentives by ”betting” some of their own money.  The website also has a plethora of weight loss tools to help its members reach their goals.
