Welcome to the WayBetter App, a different and fun way to lose weight.

Say good-bye to fad diet plans and quick fixes. You might lose weight fast, but it doesn’t last.

Our WayBetter Way of managing your weight is based on behavioral science and it works! It’s all about turning hard work into fun.

You’ll play in social games that last 2-6 weeks and motivate you to make small and sustainable changes, without turning your life upside down.

We offer dozens of group games starting every week, led by expert coaches.

WayBetter games support long-term weight management by:
Motivating you to build new healthy eating and exercise habits
Helping you stay accountable to sticking to your new habits
Providing you with a supportive community - our games are social!

When you join as a WayBetter Member we’ll set you up for success with:
A personalized weight-loss plan (“My Plan”)
Our science-backed “WayBetter Way” Motivation Boosters
Games starting every week in nutrition, fitness, and mindset
Coaches who share expert tips and motivation
A supportive community and “inspiration feed” to inspire you, featuring our members and coaches
Real accountability through our proprietary in-game verification methods
Heart rate and step-tracking integrations

WayBetter has partnered with scientists from universities to publish our results in peer-reviewed journals. We have also received a $1 million grant from the U.S National Institutes of Health to keep building on our unique system.

What really makes WayBetter special are our proprietary Motivation Boosters! Behavioral scientists call them “commitment contracts.” Decades of studies show they work!

When you join a game, you’ll have a choice of Motivation Boosters:

Financial Commitment
WayBetter’s original Motivation Booster! You’ll put a little of your own money into the game’s “pot” at the start. At the end, if you’ve completed all the game activities, you’re a winner! You get all your money back plus a small profit. The profit comes from the players who didn’t complete the game. Their money is split equally among all the winners. WayBetter doesn’t keep any of it!

Our data shows that players who put their money on the line are 5x more likely to succeed in achieving the game’s goal. Over a million people have already done it and to encourage you to try it, we’ll give you the money to cover your first game!

While there’s money on the line, it’s never about the money. It’s about getting you to invest in your health, build momentum and confidence, and stick to your commitments. For any lawyers reading, we’ll add that winning in our games involves no element of chance and nothing outside your direct control. Winning is a result of your hard work, not luck.

Accountability Partners
Prefer not to motivate yourself with money? No problem! You can invite friends and family to track your progress and cheer you on! It’s free and easy for them.
