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.

Being Happy with Your Self at the End of the Day
So I am not as screwed up as I once was and it's scary realizing I am going to have to get to know this Jahcobie. Slowly I am getting ready for the close of this year. It's already scary, but I know that I will be successful. I found out that my behavioral coach is leaving before the transition ceremony so I am kind of sad about that. I know it's been a rough journey but it is not over yet and I am going to persevere through all the tough times to come. I figure that I need to make a goal for the last couple of weeks I am here something attainable that I can reach. So that's a good thing.
So let me fill you in on what has been happening this week. I didn't go home, however it was a good weekend. I connected with Katherine a lot and that was pretty cool. I went to the movies and saw Phat Girlz this week - it was a great movie. It referred a lot to being happy with your self at the end of the day. The movie is very controversial because it was about taking pride in the fact that you're big and in a way I agree with it but at the same time I disagree with it. I guess everyone personally has to take what they can out of the movie. I took that we shouldn't let people screw us up because they're so insecure about who they really are. I know that I could relate about wanting to sabotage my life because I felt like my weight was such a big factor. Many times I didn't let myself into relationships with people because I felt that just because I hated myself everyone hated me to. It is hard rationalizing that challenging thought and tell yourself that your worth it. So again when I have those flash back have to tell my self to SHUT UP!
