Site Helps People Attain Weight-Loss Goals

NBC Bay Area – Jan. 19, 2012

NBC’s Maryann Favro features Health Rally in light of its launch by examining user Leah Nichols’ weight loss story. Favro explores her success with Health Rally’s approach to motivate users through social support and rewards. With encouragement from her family and friends and a $150 check waiting for her if she lost 10 pounds in three months, Leah achieved her goal and even convinced her husband to use Health Rally too.

“Zack Lynch, the CEO of Health Rally says just after two weeks 1,500 people have already used the website. 

‘It’s not just for losing weight, you can use it to help with any health goal from running a marathon, to quitting smoking, to remembering to take your diabetes medication,’ Lynch said.

 You also have the option of selecting your own reward such as a spa treatment, high end shoes or giving money to charity.”
