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.

Being Accountable

Well, this week I went to a panel discussion in Morro Bay. The topic was: Is soda and junk food the new tobacco? I say no because I think we need to start taking more credit for our actions. Too many times I used to blame people for my weight gain, when in actuality I was the one who put the food in my mouth. So, I say today that we need to acquire accountability for our actions and move past pointing the finger on everyone but ourselves.

I need to start writing my good speech and I have so many things to do this week that it's crazy. I have finals this whole week, plus I need to not let it get to my head and have me sabotage myself. Do you feel me? I know that too many times when I started to worry about things they started to happen. I got my signature sheet on Friday so I am pretty excited. I will be moving up to Yabo on Wednesday if nothing goes wrong. I am going to get back to my work and let myself finish this journey off on a good note.
