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.

Getting Out of My Frustration Stage

Today was my first official day as a Belayer. I am going to talk to Phil about getting an on-campus job (one of the privileges associated with being a Belayer). I am excited.

I am hopefully getting out of my frustration stage. I have come up with different ways to slightly cut back on calories, and really kick up the exercise. I usually consume about 1,300 calories, and I usually get somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 steps each day. My plan is to limit my fruit intake. When I do eat fruit, I am going to stay with the lower calorie fruits, such as cantaloupe. I am going to shoot for 1,100 calories per day. I was looking at the chart in the "Healthy Obsession Program" [Dr. Kirschenbaum's book, and the basis of the AOS program] and I am going to try to do more of the activities that expend more calories. I am going to try this method out for a few weeks and see how I do.

My goal for the day is to organize my room. We just moved in, and we have major cleaning and organizing to do.
