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.

Dealing with Frustrations and Recommiting

I am somewhat frustrated right now about people. It is as if the more things people say to me the closer it gets me to have the screw it attitude. I think that I really need to recommit mentally to finish this off the best I can be. It's weird to me how I go through so much here seems nothing pays off. Hold up that irrational! So many irrational thoughts going through my head - what should I do? At home, I could easily not have to deal with it, but here it is what is going to make me stronger. I just need to push through it and give it some serious thought about what I am going to do. Only 2 months left and I'll be wishing I were back here.

I am upset at the fact that I am not going home. It would be nice to go on another off campus challenge and clear my mind. I hope that during the vacation I get a chance to relax and to sit with myself. It is upsetting to see so many people leaving but me having to stay here. So many times, I wish I were not poor but the fact being at the status has made me as strong as I am now. I opted out to study for my midterm today and I'm so tired and just need a break. I am going to scream, I want so many things to happen so quick that it does not even make any sense. Well I am going to go but until next time I say cross your fingers for me!
