NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Obese people might be more likely to lose weight if they have money riding on their success — but the pounds may creep back once the financial carrot is gone, a small study finds.

The results are noteworthy for two reasons, according to Dr. Donald Williamson, who studies obesity in youth at Louisiana State University but wasn’t involved in the new study.
