Specialist Weight Wins which is helping to run the trial said more than 150 people in the UK had already tried out the idea and claimed the financial rewards had helped them to lose pounds. Claire Martin public health specialist for the NHS in east Kent said: “Achieving a healthier weight and encouraging people to choose a healthier lifestyle are major issues for the health service. “This scheme will be ideal for people who have tried to lose weight before but have found it difficult to make progress. “We hope this trial will help establish whether financial incentives can motivate people to shed the pounds – and keep them off.
