I’m pleased to say that I’m part of the Mamavation team started by Leah Segedie.

Mamavation begins with a contest but ends with changing dozens, possibly hundreds of lives.  You can nominate yourself to be the subject of the social media experiment.  The only qualifications are that you

• Need to lose some weight
• Are a Mom
• Are a blogger

We will whittle the applicants down to a final four and Twitter users will be able to vote for their favorite.  The winner will be announced on July 31st on MomActive Radio.

The Mamavation Mom will be supplied with a team of personal trainers, coaches and a cheerleading squad comprised of fit Moms that know what it takes to lead a healthy lifestyle.  I’m proud to say that I’ll be one of the trainers helping this Mom reach her weight loss and lifestyle goals.

The winner will be challenged and encouraged for two months to make lasting changes in her life.  After the two months are over and if her goals are met, she will receive a huge gift basket and become the first official Mamavation Mom.

We are hoping that by focusing on one Mom lots of other people will learn smart, useful information and be inspired to make changes in their own lives.  Any positive change, small or large, is a victory in my mind.

If you have any questions about the contest you can leave a comment here or at sister site Bookieboo and I’ll do my best to answer them.  I’m happy to answer any fitness questions as well.

To follow us on twitter look for @bookieboo and @lisajohnson and look for #mamavation
