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 to the Top

Yesterday I had a conference call with my mom, my BC and Mr. Wright [our Academic Director]. We had the call to determine how long I will be staying at AOS. It was decided that I was going to stay here until the end of January. My good friend here found out that she was probably staying until then, too.

I signed up for the rock-climbing club, and we were able to go to the rock gym today. Rock climbing is so much fun. I got up to the top on one of them, and about 3/4s of the way up on the second one. Then I got on this balance board, called an Indo Board. That was cool. I want to get one for when I go home, because you can start doing tricks and it works your abs.

Then we started talking about when and where we were going to go rock climbing. I found out that we are going to Joshua Tree, hopefully in early to mid December.

Today was weigh-in. I lost 2.4 lbs this week. I came to AOS at 267.8 and I am now at 208.6 in 4.5 months. I have lost 60.2 pounds overall.

This morning my roommate and I went to the fitness center at 6:30 AM and got 45 minutes of extra activity in.

This evening in the fitness center I got in one of the best workouts I have done in a while. I was on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then did a 20 minute abs video with some of the girls. I can tell that I worked my legs a lot, because they are already sore.

I have to get back to studying for my Geometry and Civics tests!
