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.

Back On My Game

I'm finally back on my game. I did running intervals this morning, I lost weight, and because of that, I'm an ascender. This week has been pretty good. I have six days till I go home and I'm so excited. The days here lately have been calm and hot. Yesterday was bittersweet to me. It was the 4th of July. It was also my best friend's birthday. I usually spend the 4th of July with her, so it was weird without her. We went to the Grizzly game yesterday. The fire work show was pretty impressive. The best thing though is I am only 2.2 pounds away from losing a total of 50 pounds. With all of the weight loss I have had on other diets, I've never reached it this far. It also means I'll be half way there. So to ensure I get there I am cutting my calories way down, limiting my fruit intake. I'm going to run everyday on the walk, and I am going to keep hydrated. So my steps should be above 13,000 this week and my calories about 1200. I'm going to try to take it easy on the soda and hope I make 2.2. As for the rest of my weekend I am going on the ascender shopping trip and I am going to a football game over the weekend. Then I'll finish it off with a relaxing movie. Of course, I will invert some exercise in there but it should be a good weekend.
