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.

Leaving On A Good Note

I am sad. Everything is ending and it is hard to say goodbye, but I know that I will have to. We had our closure group the other day and it was so sad, everybody started to cry. I am sad! I know that I will get through to the next moment, but that is ok. My friend left today and I was just thinking what happened if I would have never met her? How would me life be different? I just need to relax because I am going to see her in 2 weeks and it is going to be a good time. I am doing the video for her party.

Today's topic is leaving on a good note. I have to leave on a good note here, I refuse to leave on a bad note. I just need to keep my eye on the prize - that's what Molly said to me and that's one of the best things anyone has ever said to me. I know times get rough and our shocks wear out but we need to truck it. If we hit a bump, we get right back up. So here is my new plan for the next week:

- Keep my eye on the prize
- Self monitor 100%
- Pack up my stuff
- Don't get a repel

I am going to close with an inspirational quote: "Do not ask for a light load, but rather ask for a strong back. " - Unknown
