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.

Setting Goals

Today has been a pretty easygoing day. It has been full of nice things: no drama has really happened. Tonight is the dance and I'm kind of sad that I'm not going with anyone (maybe someone in particular). I guess I will have a lot of fun. I'm tired of holding myself back when I really just need to let go and be free.

I really like poetry and haven't written any in a long time...until today. My goal is to write one poem every week and be happy with it. People have told me that I am very good at writing poetry, but it's hard to believe people when you feel like they are just saying it for the sake of saying it. Many times I have said things I really don't mean to people. For example, "Your hair is nice," when really I just want to tell them how to change their hair. I am learning to keep my mouth shut because it has gotten me in a lot of trouble throughout my life.

I will write next time and explain how my day went. Until then, I leave you with this...

"Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy." - Unknown
