Weight Loss Blog
The Weight Loss Blog offers news and information about nutrition and fitness as well as actual weight loss success stories as told by students at Wellspring Academies, formerly Academy of the Sierras, the first boarding school for overweight teens. WSA is part of Wellspring, which also runs Wellspring weight loss camps.
The Blog started with entries by 15-year-old Jahcobie who graduated from WSA after losing 176 pounds in seven months. Then Brooke, a 17-year-old from Prescott, Arizona, took over. Our latest student blogger was Melissa, a 17-year-old from Orange County, California. Melissa recently graduated and we wish her success and she continues down her path as a "long-term weight controller."
Andy D. a 17-year-old student at Wellspring Academy spent a few months sharing his adventures in weight loss, healthy eating, and fitness fun with us before he graduated the program in June.
Now we'll continue to update you with news and information about weight lose, healthy living, and childhood obesity. We'll have a new WSA student share their stories with us beginning in the Fall.
Wellspring programs are the most effective weight loss solutions for teens available today. But don't let us tell you. Let Andy, Melissa, Brooke, and Jahcobie tell you. Read about their journeys toward successful weight management in their own words.

Are You Where You Want to Be?
"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - Thomas Stearns Elliot
The journey has been a rough one, but today I realized that I'm going to find my purpose. I need to find the reason why I was put on this earth. I know that it has something to do with helping people, I only need to expand on it further. I came to a point where I forgot what it meant to be someone who was 483 pounds and that scares me a lot. I needed the talk I had with Molly to realize how far I've come. I needed that reminder and I tell you that has helped me. I got an award for the hard mile I did so I'm happy it meant a lot to me.
It's weird because for the last couple of days me and my good friend have been bumping heads and its kind of awkward. Today at breakfast we got into a huge argument and there has been so much tension between us. What should I do? I think it might be normal to go through this phase, but the truth is that I'm not feeling like my normal self. So I'm going to talk to her and try to sort it out. Hopefully their will not be any more problems. So I end this with one simple question:
Are you where you want to be?
