More than one-third of American adults are obese Excess weight raises serious health risks

drives up medical costs and saps productivity The Innergy healthier weight program responds

to the need for a convenient sustained weight loss solution that works

Healthways developed Innergy through an ongoing collaboration with major research university

Johns Hopkins Medicine The two-year program focuses on three critical phases of weight lossmdash

active weight loss maintenance and independencemdashto ensure long-lasting behavior change

Importantly the program recognizes that one size does not fit all when it comes to weight loss

and provides a tailored long-term relationship dedicated to personalized weight loss

Innergy integrates features shown to accomplish lasting healthy weight change

bull Frequent contact with a Johns Hopkins trained coach

bull Education and guidance to change behaviors

bull Realistic and achievable goals that build confidence

bull Self-reporting and accountability

bull Social connection and physician support
