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.

Hi, I'm Andy

I am proud to introduce myself as the fourth blogger on our website. My name is Andy, and I am seventeen years old from California. I have struggled with obesity for many years. I was always the fat kid in class, and my life suffered substantially as a result. Since I have arrived at AOS, however, I have begun to make strides in changing my life for the better. I have begun to see myself as who I really am beyond the extra 100 pounds, as opposed to the fat kid I saw myself as in the past. At this point in my life, I feel very grateful to have gone through the challenges that I have, as I feel that it better prepares me for the rest of my life. And, I feel more ready than ever to take the bull by the horns, and start living my life the way I feel it is meant to be lived.

Over the course of the next few months, I look forward to exploring a variety of topics; everything from sharing my personal struggles to sharing some observations on the greater nuances in life. I hope that you find my entries interesting, useful, or at the very least readable. I am excited to share some of my life journey with whoever is interested in observing it.

And, Go Giants.
