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.

Creating a Personal Commitment Statement

15 more days until my step mother comes - I am so happy. So I decided that I am going to take her out to dinner and get her some flowers or better yet order her something special. I guess that I am in a better mood then any previous time in my life. It's weird to look back and now think that I only have like 2 weeks left before everything is over. I know I'm ready to go home. Actually I have been ready; there's only one thing that I am here for and that is to become the first Yabo! So that's a lot of motivation for me - I need a new personal commitment statement ASAP! So tonight what I am going to write out is what my purpose is and I'm going to write it based on that.

Well let me tell you today was Alisa's last day (former Behavioral coach). I am really sad, I know that it is not goodbye, it is just see you later, but no matter how much I say that to myself I still seem to think that it's goodbye. I know that were not abandoning each other so that is a good thing. She gave me the sweetest thing today for a present. She wrote out a bunch of words and made them in to pieces and told me whenever that irrational voice comes out to pick one. She wrote a bunch of words that describe me. I am going to email her a lot and just keep in contact with her as much as possible. Cuz we are forever connected!

we'll be to go no matter the weather,
whether you like it or not" ( theatre exercise)
