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.

Succeeding Despite an Addictive Personality

What comes to mind when I think about how far I have come. It seems as though life is going great and I hope to accomplish many things in my stay here. I love this place and forever will I be faithful for the things it has taught me. I think about how I used to say I hated myself when the fact was I didn't really cherish who I really was. It's taken a long time to come to where I am and I choose to hold on to it. I love life. I love life and will always love it. Molly told me I should read "A Million Little Pieces," so I started reading it and so far it's something I can relate to largely. It's about having an addiction and to me so far it shows me how much of a problem and addictive personality I have.

I think that today had made me really think about life and think about how much I am going to succeed. I was reading a bunch of my old poetry and was just thinking to myself about how much I have made rationalizing mine. I have to rate 90% of my day just to get by. Well I'm pretty happy in general nothing is really bothering me. I started talking to one my old friends again and I just hope I can trust him. Actually that's going to be next time's topic: trust, and why trust is such an issue for me.
