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.

Setting Yourself Free From Obesity
Well today was a pretty funny day I though someone had stole the video camera but it turned out that I had left it in a classroom and Phil gave it to me. Well today, I am going to do a sequel to the exercise I did yesterday. I am going to write a letter back to my old self and that is also how I am going to end this blog so till tomorrow adios!
Dear Old Jahcobie,
I am sorry that I trapped you away to binge and smoke all day but the truth is that you never helped me. When I think about how I use to be it makes me sick. I am never going back to being that boy who binged on 25-cent chips, and that is a promise. I know when times get rough I will persevere no matter how hard it gets. I will set you free and we will finally learn how to be together under one roof. I am happy that you wrote me; it gave me a pull up. I know you have not believed in me and I am sorry that you feel that way. I am just plain and simply not you anymore. I am a LTWC and I take great pride in that. You remember how we talked about being accepted not rejected, well now I am part of a family that truly accepts me for who I am. I can look around and sample the club but when I decide I want to be in admission is free. That is the only way you can set yourself free. I am happy that I am going home soon, but I am rushing it and I know you would kill to be where I am. I've been getting in to running lately and its been a good thing. Today I gain a pound but that's ok because I know its because of my fluctuating calories. I wont let you down and when I reach my goal we will both be set free but as for now I choose to be friends with you not one anymore.
