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.

Weight Loss Fun
This weekend was fun. Friday night most of the Ascenders and Belayers went to LaserQuest. We got to play two 20 minute games. On the way there, we had to stop and get gas and spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to pop open the gas tank! When we got to the Laser Tag place, we stood in line and got our code names. A few minutes later, we went in and got ready to play. Once the game started, a few of my friends and I had a dance party while playing. After playing, we headed back to school and my roommate and I went straight to bed.
Saturday morning I was supposed to participate in a Veterans Day 5k run, but I ended up not going because of my knee and because I felt the beginning of a cold coming on. Most of the girls at school seem to have colds. So I took the extra hour and a half to sleep and get rested up for the day. Saturday, it started sprinkling, and was quite cold actually. Pretty much all day on Saturday my roommate and I stayed in our room and cleaned and listened to music. By the end of the day, we had our side of the suite spotless.
This morning I got up and did the normal activity. My roommate and I did the 3 mile walk together and decided that if during our OCCs, we had temptations, then we would call the other person and help each other through the situation. We both want to have good weigh-ins when we come back from Thanksgiving. We planned different activities, and ways to get through making the best food choices.
After activity and breakfast was Deep Clean. Every Sunday we do a deep clean. We got the bathroom and shower spotless, along with both sides of the room. During free time we went to go see the movie "Stranger than Fiction", which was great. I really enjoyed it. After getting back from the movies, we went to dinner, activity and now we are in study hall (as I write this).
This weekend went really well, I got a lot accomplished, and I am glad that I was productive.
My goal for today was to get over 20,000 steps. It is 9:30 and I already have 21,649. And I still have an hour before I get ready for bed!
I'll write again tomorrow. I have to get back to homework.
