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.

Finding Your Routine and Being Honest with Yourself

After practicing for a while, every weight controller will eventually find a routine that suits him. Whether it be having one Jolly Rancher a day to take care of a sugar craving, or having a fat free fudge bar to take the edge off that chocolate craving, all successful weight controllers eventually find healthy ways to keep their unhealthy food cravings under control.

Similarly, weight controllers must learn to structure their time in order to support their weight control habits. I know that in order to be successful, I must have a very busy schedule, as to dissuade snacking out of boredom. So, as the summer is quickly upcoming, I have found myself looking for ways to keep busy. I plan on working six days a week and establishing a routine. After I wake up and go to work, I will work out, watch my baseball game, and go to bed. I know for me to be successful, all of my time has to be highly structured. Other weight controllers can have more flexible schedules. The key is for people to be honest with themselves and choose a schedule that suits their individual needs so that they can have the most success in weight control as possible.
