Using a cash reward for weight loss is something that isn't often considered, but it seems to be a very effective motivator, over the short term anyway. Those are awesome results.

I have joined a group in the past at work to lose weight. Of the 15 people that dieted together 13 lost >10lbs in the 3 month period. 4 of us lost over 30 lbs! Cash does make a bigger incentive. Along with the group we each placed $ 15 into a pot and the top 3 after 3 months claimed the prize. Our "groups" in life make things much easier and they instill camraderie.

Friends that I know who have participated say knowing there is a prize ($$$$) at the end is a great motivation tool along with the close support from other friends and employees. Like Crabby said, even if you just have a helpful partner with you on your weight loss journey can be so beneficial to your success.
