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.

Don't Lose Hope
Over the past 2 days, my life has been shaken up. One of my best friends, one of my roommates is leaving. She is one of the most inspirational people I have met here. She and I both have gone through similar family situations. She is the kind of person that likes you based on first impressions. She jokes a lot, she is an amazing girl. She truly cares about everyone. She wants people to succeed in whatever they attempt. To me, she is a friend that I will keep for the rest of my life. We live close enough together that we are planning to see each other over Christmas break.
She is going through a very hard time right now. She was told on Tuesday that she would be leaving for good on Thursday. She was telling me that she doesn't regret coming to AOS, that she is glad that she came and started the change to better her life. She is a true inspiration to all of the students here.
My weigh-in today did not go as well as I planned. I know what I did wrong, and I was talking to my roommate and she and I have come up with a plan so we can have a good weigh-in next week. We are going to rededicate ourselves to the program. We are going to act like we just got here and are really excited to try the program out. I think that we will be successful.
Good night
Melissa
