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.

Having Faith to Change

So I proposed to the senior staff the plan for the new Yabo criteria. I think that it will go good - I just need to stick by it if I want anything to ever change. It's weird how we get so many good ideas and we just have to have enough faith to stand up for what we believe in. I am happy in general, I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulder. The Ed consultants left today and it is somewhat sad. I am happy to the inspiration this place gave to them to continue. It is cool that people that have been stuck in their own ways for years are willing to try to make a difference. It shows how lucky we are to be so young and changing.

I am sad I must admit. I am not going home because of the financial problems. Everyone is so pumped up about going home and I just have to tell myself two more months and I'll be home. I know these 2 months are going to fly by quick but I am so disappointed in the fact that I can't go home. My parents wanted to come to the graduation but I told them not to, to save money. I would rather go home and spend that money on new cloths for school. Do you feel me? Sure you do. I have not talked on the phone that much - I have been busy with everything that has been going on here. I want to end here on the best note I can. Well I am about to go and finish my homework cant wait to tell you how the weekend goes bye!
