Similar to other on-line weight loss program, the experience at drgily.com starts by creating a personal account. But this is where the similarities end. Based on the information given at registration, a personal profile is generated that includes the user's healthy weight range, total calorie requirements, daily calorie allowance and his/her body mass index. The users are then helped to set up realistic weight loss goals, monitor their daily diet and physical activity through a simple and intuitive self-monitoring system, and plot their weight on a weekly weight change graph. Also, a color coded calendar provides a quick and powerful way to assess their overall performance one month at a time.

The "Weight Loss For Life" program has two phases: 1) "The Weight Loss Phase", for the first 6 months, and 2) "The Weight Maintenance Phase", for the next 6 to 12 months. During the first phase participants are taught the "Ten Commandments of Weight Loss" that enables them to reach their short-term weight loss

All recommendations are based on the landmark report issued by the National Institutes of Health and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute: "Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults - The Evidence Report". The program was designed to be a practical, personalized implementation of these guidelines. As stated above, this is what makes it unique among the myriad of on-line weight loss programs.
