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.

Experiencing Some Odd Feelings

These last few days have been going pretty well. I am working hard in my program and in my emotional therapy. I am experiencing some odd feelings.

I am super excited about going home in about 3 weeks, but I am also so nervous. I know that I will do great at home, but I have my self-doubts.

No matter what happens at home I am going to work and keep losing weight.

I know that I will do well, because I am signing up for personal training sessions 5 times a week, I will be going to a really good physical therapist, and a very good therapist, both of whom my best friend's mom recommended to me. I am trying to catch up everything that I have been slacking on in the last few weeks. I am looking forward to going home and starting fresh at home with my 'new' self, and my newfound confidence.

This weekend I am going home to go to winter formal at Knott's Berry Farm. My group is going to dinner and then to Knott's and then we are going to an after-party somewhere. I am excited, but this will be my first OCC without my mom there to help me. My sister will help me if I need it; she is on this program at home, and doing wonderfully. In addition, while I am at home both my sister and I will be trying out for the Pageant of the Masters, in Laguna Beach, California. Pageant of the Masters is each year a different theme is chosen, different pieces of art is chosen in each category. The categories range from statues to wall hangings to propaganda of the time. The piece of art is put in to real life sizes and volunteers, who are chosen, recreate the picture. To see what I am talking about: http://www.foapom.com/

I am doing well, and I am excited to see where I am going to go in these next few weeks here at AOS.
