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.

Showing Normal Human Emotion

I lost 5.6 pounds today!

I had my last session today with my Behavioral Coach - it was really sad. We analyzed why I got upset during the confrontation that happened this past week. We also talked about how it's going to be when I get home. I was very happy to hear that my my Behavioral Coach wasn't mad at me, she told me I was only showing normal human emotion. I did my rappel and I went on and learned from it. So, from now on I have a new Behavioral Coach. I will always remember everything Alisa taught me about being just human. She understood emotions one step above most people. I will remember our walks around the fields and the tough times she has helped me overcome. I told her that I want to move up to Yabo and she told me that I'm going to do it. I am confident that I will, I talked to Dan and hopefully they will help me with it and give me their blessings.

Well, follow me on my journey as I try to not sabotage myself in becoming a Yabo. You will follow me as I go through my ups and my downs. I will be the first - the very first - and will not settle for less. So follow me on my way to the top of the AOS level system.
