Mamavation
™ is a social experiment and weight loss campaign in social media with the goals of teaching moms healthy living lifestyle choices so they can share with their family. Mamavation
™ is a two part campaign: (1) a virtual healthy living boot camp for two moms and (2) the home of the first virtual healthy living sorority in social media, the Sistahood
™ .
As a healthy living bootcamp, Mamavation
™ is an opportunity for two moms (Mamavation
™ Moms) to change their lives together by entering into a 7 week healthy living boot camp created to give them the tools they need to succeed. The will receive a professional nutritional plan created by a physician that specializes in nutrition, Dr. Renna, and a fitness program created by Tracey Mallett. They will also receive a treadmill from Smooth Fitness, Earth Footwear, an EA SPORTS Active, Tracey Mallett and Tae Bo DVDs. The program was created and is managed by @bookieboo, with the goal of teaching moms how to live life better. The Mamavation
™ campaign plans to give them the tools they need to succeed, in hopes that they will create a healthy lifestyle for themselves and their families.
As the Mamavation
™ Moms complete their 7 week crash course in healthy living, they will be supported by an army of moms. The Mamavation
™ Cheerleader squad and Mamavation
™ Sistahood
™ will be behind them every step of the way. They will receive a Mamavation
™ Mentor, which is a mom that completed the program and has stuck around to mentor another. And they will also be required to have a “fit friend,” or someone who they know that already lives a healthy lifestyle.
The campaign will unfold on Bookieboo where the Mamavation
™ moms will keep a daily food/exercise journal. They will appear on Mingle Media TV Network every Monday at 7pm PST/10pm EST as well. The Mamavation
™ Moms will also be expected to post about their Mamavation experience and be available on twitter to talk about their experiences and inspire everyone. In addition, they will do a vlog every week chronicling their journey losing weight. The purpose behind all this “work” is to INSPIRE others. The Mamavation
™ Moms are challenged with losing weight and learning healthy living and inspiring other moms to do the same–a hefty challenge but admirable one.
How will the moms be chosen? Good question. The Mamavation
™ Moms will come from Twitter. Moms that apply must be at least “overweight” on the BMI scale and have an active blog. Applications are being accepted June 21st to June 30th. Then 5 moms will be chosen as finalists and will go up for a vote for a week. And the people will choose who the moms are. Voting will commence from July 5th to the 12th. Each of the five moms will have to ignite their own campaigns to get votes. The Mamavation
™ Moms (2) will be announced on July 12th with a twitter party. (Use the hashtag #mamavation.)
During the campaign, we would love to have your support. Tweet the Mamavation
™ Moms with encouragement. Let them know you support them as they go through this process. It’s going to be the beginning of a new life for them, so they will need all the love and support they can get. Join the Sistahood
™

I would love to be involved! I absolutely need to lose weight & get healthy (healthier) again.
@mentallyinked on twitter
Oh my gosh I TOTALLY want to do this…I'm vegetarian so wouldn't it be cool to have one veg and one not??? (hint hint
) I've only got about 9 lbs to go but am HORRIBLY out of shape. I huff and puff on that treaadmill. It's bad! I'd love to have a motivator!
I'll be signing up! I've got 30 lbs Id like to kick but nothing to keep me motivated. Cant wait to get in an application.
We all need to get into shape. I would love to lose the weight and get into shape…
This is just what I need! I will most certainly sign up!
This is definitely what I need. All the support I can get especially from someone who's been through what I'm going through now. I have over 100lbs to lose (lost 50lbs so far since April of this year). Am pretty active for a big gal and I think with this, I can reach my goals just a bit faster. *smiles*
I would LOVE to do this I need to lose the rest of my baby weight and get healthier!
What a neat program you've put together! It would be great to get all of that support on such a tough journey. I've got an event going too called Ten in '10: Ten weeks to healthy in 2010. #10in10 on Twitter & event info here http://www.recipegirl.com/2009/12/12/ten-in-10-ten-weeks-to-
healthy-in-2010-here-are-the-details/
Would love to see me, 'The Gourmet Girl' team up with this effort! We're launching Weightloss is Personal the beginning of the year. http://kitchenrap.blogspot.com/2009/12/weightloss-is-personal.html
What a perfect match!!
This would be an awesome journey to go through! After 5 kids and 80 pounds heavier, I definitely need some help getting this weight off!!
I have my video up and am ready to team up with another mama as a Mamavation Mom! Can't wait!!!!!
This sounds like a wonderful program and it is exactly what I need to help me shed the pounds that are bringing me down, and causing me so much pain. Whomever came up with this idea deserves a huge Thank you. It's hard trying to find people that will help you and whom care on a ver tough journey to better health! Thanks so much for this chance.
I am interested in this.
I'd love to be a part of this! I think that my situation is unique b/c often times when we think of ppl getting in shape we think of someone that is wanting to drop 20 plus pounds.. I DON'T NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT.. I need to get in shape and become a healthier me by eating correctly and working out. I have alot of excess fat on my thighs, stomach and buttocks that I just cannot get off! I feel that with the right guidance, following a diet, exercise and motivation, I can have that killer body I've always wanted but I cannot do it alone! At 114 lbs and a vegetarian at 30 I have been diagnosed with High Cholesterol. That should tell you that 114 lbs doesn't necessarily mean HEALTHY! I want to run marathons.. I want to be living proof that women at 30+ can get out and conquer the world.. we can be healthy, active, and have a body to be proud of!

Hey Leah, this sounds like such an awesome idea. I'm coming in too late to really join. Right? I mean, I can definitely connect with you women on twitter, etc … right?
What a great idea.
Beth
Can non-US residents apply?
I need to do something, I am around 40 to 50 pounds overweight. My husband, daughter and even the dog exercise.
I have two blogs and I twitter. I live in Denver, I see people exercise all the time, finding people to help keep me motivated should not be a problem.
This is such a great idea.

The Mamavation Moms must only be from the continental United States, but anyone can join the Sistahood.
I would love to participate! After I had my son in 2005, I lost 108 pounds. I had my daughter in 2007 and lost some baby weight, but I have been stuck since becoming a stay at home mother. I could use a swift kick in the rear and some motivational pushes from some supporters. I am stuck and hate it. Help mamavate me!

I'm interested as well. Been following the tweets and sent my interest email. Hopefully I will be selected to join. Until then I'll be following along.
Totally bummed I missed the sign up for this. I am beyond heavy and think this might just be the thing that changes that for me.
