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.

Pressing Play on Your Life's Button

Well, it,s like the longer I am here the more I can,t seem to take this place. I know that I'm just being screwed up in the head and letting myself get this way. I think I am struggling with the idea of going back home. It's weird because I already know that I am scared to go back home, it's just that I need to start dealing with it. I feel like my life has been on rewind for the last 7 months and now the tape has ran out and it's trying to play, but the button is broke. WOW! I just realized that my life is like a tape and now it's ready to play. So I'm going to stick this out and will be the first Yabo no matter how hard life gets. I will fight for status!

Ok, so, here it is: I have been working on my Yabo application, but I am so discouraged, it's so hard and in order to move up this week I need to get my signature sheet tomorrow. My head is pounding and I need to achieve the impossible. So I decided that I am going to finish it by tomorrow and show it to Dan Barney. If he rejects me and says to wait a week or it's not good enough, I am done with it. I won't even try anymore. I am me and I come first no matter what anyone thinks.

I am very inspired by your blog, which I came across while researching the camps. Keep going--you are an inspiration to many! Someone in Chicago.
