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.

Not Giving Up and Loving Yourself

I think that today was a pretty nice day I really enjoyed it. I was a little frustrated at first then it got better after group. I think for me I needed to go through that frustration point to get better. I also benched 30% of my body weight so I am pretty happy, I did what no one thought I would be able to do. I guess I had a lot of energy to get out and I used it in a positive way. Well I don't know what to really say but I'm happy that I've been doing my program. I also found out I lost 5.2 this week. 5.2!!! I am so excited that I lost all that weight I want to keep it up because I want to drop 41 pounds in the next 2 and half months. So here are some of my goals for the next 2 and half months:

  • do 1 free time session with Jon

  • keep calories around 1000-1200

  • do at least 3 days of evening activity

  • get an AOS elite shirt

  • self monitor 100%
How will I go about doing all of this? Easy, I will try hard and not give up because my purpose for the next couple of months is to learn to love Jahcobie!
So until next time I leave you with something to think about:
