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.

Giving People Space in Relationships

Well the fashion show is going pretty good. So let me tell you a funny story: I'm doing my friend's hair today, and I do her make up, I thought that the tube I was opening was lipstick when it turned out to be eye shadow. How weird is that? So I'm sure that I'm not going to do anymore make up. I'll stick to hair - that's where I belong. Lol! So I'm excited to show my skills to everyone. It seems like it's going to be very fun. I'm happy that I can boost people's self esteem. It means the world to me helping people out.

So today I got in an argument with a friend. I was telling my friend how someone was starting drama and bringing me into the middle of it. Mind you my friend just met this person. So she takes his side and I got really mad so I just walked away. I'm used to people that will be there for me and be ready to take a risk. My best friend and I have such a good relationship because we have trust there. If there is no trust that what is a relationship? I want to talk to her but she won't talk to me. I guess she's mad because I actually can stand up and walk away when I feel like I'm getting in to an unsafe space. What should I do? I think that I will give her some space and talk to her when she gets back from the camping trip. If I didn't care about her I wouldn't say anything to her and just hold in my problem. Instead I talked to her and she totally jump sides to someone who doesn't even care about her. If people don't care about us why do we care? I don't know, it's weird how I can care what so many people say but they don't give a crap about me.
