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.

Putting All Your Energy Into Getting Healthy

Well, today has been a good day. I'm actually kind of mad at the fact that people are not putting any energy into their program. How the hell can you stand by and not do anything while there are kids who are literally dying to be here? I do not know how you can, but I can't and I'm going to persevere through this last month. I'm happy that I am feeling refreshed, I just need to go home and start to feel the independence on my own. I got an award today for last night's cooking in the culinary studio. It's nice to know that I am some what appreciated around here. I think I need to reevaluate my life and see what I want to get out of this program for the last month.

Well, just to let you know on the update: I haven't been sabotaging myself in my program. I opted out of activity today because I have so much stuff to do, so basically I'm happy that I am still going and not giving up in anything I do. I haven't had my session with my behavioral coach yet, but that's ok because when I do have my first one, it will be a happy time.
