StickK works!

Am I so cheap that the only way I can stick to a goal is to put money on it?

I have to wonder. At the end of last year I interviewed Jordan Goldberg, CEO of StickK.com. I resolved to lose around six pounds or so using their system, and lost 25.  I used StickK to maintain the weight, which worked as well.

For the last month I’ve been StickK-free–and gained 5-8 pounds, depending on the day. Hmmm…. seems like StickK really works!

I’m back on a StickK plan. As you head into this weekend here’s my advice: check them out! No matter what the goal is they can help. You only pay if you don’t hit a goal. I recommend you use the “anti-charity” option to really make sure you hit your goal. This podcast episode will fill you in on how the service works.

Here’s to your success! I’m off to the pantry! Kidding!

  1. Hi Andy –

    I am working on a book with one of the founders of StickK.com about how people reach their goals by using commitment devices. (A StickK contract is a type of commitment device.) I came across your blog post and was hoping you might be willing to chat with me and share your story. (If you’d like to remain anonymous in the book, or have a pseudonym, that is perfectly acceptable.) I’d love to set up a time to speak – day or evening. If you would please email me at deblevy@comcast.net, I’d really appreciate it.

    Thanks so much!
    Deb
