Stop! First you will have to complete a video application and answer the question, “Why do you want to be the next Mamavation Mom AND what will YOU do to inspire other moms online?” Please keep your responses to under four minutes. As soon as you are finished, upload the video to YouTube and tag it “mamavation”, then post the video in your blog with a description of the campaign and grab the Mamavation button.

If you’ve already done all that, by all means, continue…

You must first have the following qualifications and adhere to a couple of rules to apply.

(1) Own a Wii or be willing to purchase one for your use in the campaign
(2) Own an active blog, which means you post AT LEAST once per week
(3) Tweet daily
(4) Must be willing to tweet daily, blog weekly with a picture of your scale number, and vlog weekly about the campaign.
(5) Must be willing to keep a daily food/exercise journal that you keep public on Bookieboo
(6) Must be willing to take measurements and “before” pictures
(7) Must be willing to follow the advice of the Mamavation team without complaining, whining OR acting in defiance
(8) Must be willing to do a weekly post on Mamavation experience
(9) Must be willing to appear on Mamavation TV EVERY Monday night at 7pm PST/10pm EST between the dates of July 12th to August 27th
(10) Must be willing to do weekly videos and post on Mamavation & YouTube
(11) Must be willing to support marketing plans of sponsors
(12) Must be cleared by a physician for high intensity exercise, calorie limited diet AND psychological conditions that would prevent them from fully participating in this campaign (this is needed during Finalist week)
(13) No vacations or any planned events that would prevent you from participating the full 7 weeks
(14) Must be willing to join the Sistahood, if you haven’t already
(15) Must be willing to post Mamavation Monday posts with scale picture every Monday after the campaign for at least 6 months
(16) Must be willing to sign up and run a 5K after the campaign
(17) Must be willing to act as a “Mentor” to the next crop of Mamavation Moms and continue to support the Mamavation Sistahood

After you have submitted your application, show me that you already have support from your friends online. You will need to lean on them some days, so show me they exist and that you ALREADY have a network of friends that care about you. Have them tweet at me the following message,

“Hey @bookieboo! I want (@insertyourIDhere) to be the next #Mamavation Mom. She has my support! http://bit.ly/zqUxa” 

This step is important, because regardless of the outcome, EVERYONE knows you have made a step toward healthy living. Whether you make the final 5 or not, they will hold you to your pledge of wanting to live healthy. (Btw, the more they tweet, the more I know they are in your corner.)

If all of these terms are met and agreed upon, we would love for you to apply to be the next Mamavation Mom.
