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.

Picking Up the Pieces and Learning from Your Mistakes

I'm really upset today and I really don't know why. I know that there has been so much drama here but I don't think that is the reason for all of this. I know that I can just check it off as a bad day, it gets me mad to think that there could be people trying to sabotage me living up to my full potential. It's funny how much hatred this world has but what's really is strange is how much I love this place. I know it is crazy to say I don't love this place after everything it has helped me out so Im not going to even say any such thing. Well there was some good that came my way today. I got to talk to some beautiful education consultants, I took a walk with one of them. It's strange because she was asking me all about how I like it here, and I began to realize how far I have come. I know that times get rough here but in general I have came hella far. Of course there's my occasional trial and tribulations but in general I have overcame the worse.

Today's subject is picking up the pieces. I know that I tend to drop the pieces to the puzzle a lot and I'm not always perfect at picking it up and putting it back together again. That's ok though because that's what life is about - making mistakes. You will never learn unless you make mistakes and clearly me I've made many mistakes, but I always seem to fix them now. Yes I've come far and a long way from where I started from. If you make a mistake, correct it and embrace it, own up to it, and everything tends to get better. Trust me, I know this for a fact, as I always say I invented the game, and forever the games will always be with me.
