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.

I submitted my application. Oh how I am praying I get chosen. I dont even care about the prizes (that much). If this helps me loose weight and get healthier and helps me learn to break my old habits and start new healthy habits then that will be the best prize of all !!!
Thank you for such a wonderful chance to help me change my life!
OMGosh I just did too!!! Thank you for creating such an amazing opportunity for us to help each other lose. the. weight! I want and need this:-) Here's to inspiration all around!
Whew! Submitted my application and away we go!
Oh. My. Gosh. I did it. It's out there for all to see. Eek!
I sure hope there's going to be a 3rd round of Mamavation!
I agree with you April! I am hoping I can participate in the future. I need to be held accountable and this might just be the way to do it. No one wants to fail when the whole world is watching lol!
I wish I could join! Unfortunately Mondays are my dance night class. Good luck to all the ladies that do apply!
Wow! Sitting here I just decided to take the plunge! I'm going to submit an application! And away we go!!! Whee!
I submitted my application! Wish me luck!
I am really interested in doing this–but my family and I are picking up and moving across the country at the end of the July, so I can't commit at the moment. But I would LOVE to apply in the future!
We are voting for Roxanna Jolly. We have known her for over twenty years. She has the biggest heart and is the most caring mom and person I've ever met. She is dedicated and loyal and I cherish her friendship. I've never heard a negative word about her or see her do anything but uphold our values, I am proud to know her and stand beside her. I think she would make a great spokeperson for your company and site. You cannot go wrong with picking her.
it sounds like you have to compete to lose weight with this program. seems to me that you guys are picking and choosing who is good enough to spend the time coaching and helping. i think i'll just stick with a gym membership where i know i will be just as important as the other mommies that come in wanting to lose some weight.
