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 Healthy Is The Best Birthday Present Ever

Today was good - better than last night, I tell you. Well, I am doing ok as far as my program; I went for a workout today. I was walking on the treadmill really fast while I was listening to Chris Brown. I think I had a good day. I'm working on the fashion show a lot. I actually need to get it done. I can't wait till the end of the semester comes becuase I will not have a lot of things on my chest and I can actually take a breather. Well, I'm doing good - tomorrow is weigh in so I'm excited about that. Plus I have a behavioral coach session so I'm happy with that.

Tomorrow is my birthday which means I turn 16 - I can't wait. I never believed that I would be alive, I always thought that I would not be alive. Look at me now: I'm going to be 16 and I weight 320 pounds that the best thing anyone could ever give me. Tonight I'm going on a walk with my behavioral coach so I'm really happy about that. I think I want to talk about how I'm doing as far as my program and what it means to be 16. A year ago I was spending my birthday drinking and doing drugs. I'm happy that that was the old me, this is the new me. Well, tomorrow I don't know what it brings, but whatever it is I will be ready for it. Oh yeah, and I get my Yabo application tomorrow so I'm really happy about that. I'm going to reach for the stars. Heck Yes! Well I'll update more tomorrow, until then goodbye!
