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.

Getting Over and Through the Storm

Happy Passover! So yesterday was a pretty good day can't complain. Well yes I can! I'm really sad that im not going home. Everyone is leaving today and tomorrow and im still here. I miss the independence of doing my program outside of here. I decided not to go on the camping trip because it will be to awkward for me being around people who are fake. Not that they're any less then me it's just one of my cant haves. I guess I need to suck it up and just try to make the best of this week, hopefully I will have sometime to myself to just sit back and relax. Maybe I'll work on the fashion show a little more. I don't know my day is just going by very slow and dreadful but I know that's my fault. I keep wishing that I was rich then it all hits me right back that being the way I am has gave me so many things to be thankful for.

So today's subject is getting over the storm. The storm is now hitting me because im not going home. What should I do? I think I need to just continue to do my program and look on the bright side I have 7 weeks till I see my friends and family. Using coping skills is important because when were all in a storm its hard to rationalize a situation, that's why we have people who coach us through the storm. So I end today with a song, only you can chose to make it through the storm.
Can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

- Mariah Carey
