Another blogger who is local to me (and a friend of a friend – we actually once met BEFORE we were bloggers and recently reconnected) is in the running to be the next Mamavation Mom, and I am throwing my support her way!
About Mamavation:
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™ .
Jennifer Gniadecki is @jennydecki on Twitter and she campaigned and was selected as one of the 5 6 finalists for the next round of Mamavation!
But she needs VOTES to be selected, and it’s soooo easy to do. You don’t need to register for anything, just select her name and click vote – and you can vote daily.
In her own words, here’s why you should vote for her:
Weighing over 300lbs. sucks. I hate that when people look at me they automatically assume things about my diet, my activity level, and how I feed and parent my children. Since I can’t change society, I’m going to change myself in order to give my kids a better life. They shouldn’t have to have the “fat mom” going through school and I sure don’t want them to be the “fat kids getting picked on” either. Help me make a change so that I can be a better mother for my children, and a wife that’s not afraid to get on an airplane for fear of having to buy two seats or be looked at like I’m the problem with the world today. The best part about Mamavation is that it’s not just for fat girls, but for everyone who just wants to be healthier and more fit…so I don’t feel like I’m at fat camp. With your help they will give me a treadmill, access to a nutritionist and guidance to get the fat offa my ass and healthy food into my belly. Thank you so much! You can vote once a day between now and 7/12 at 8pm CST. The winner will be announced during the Twitter party 7/12. Again, THANK YOU!
And below is her application video that got her selected as a finalist:
To vote for Jenny, simply head over to Mamavation and on the right side underneath the Earth Footwear ad is a voting poll. Select @jennydecki at then hit the vote button. You can do it every day.
Go vote to help her change her life!
About Kim
I put my vote in. We all need support!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
This means so much to me and seriously I’m all invested in it and feel all tweaky that I’m not popular enough (I never win popularity contests) but man I lost 9lbs. last week working my butt off and I’ll be doing videos if I win showing my 310lb. butt working out…trust me, it will be HILARIOUS. Not because fat girls working out are funny – tho they are – but because I’ll make it fun to watch and maybe even participate in.
Hope to see you soon Kim, and I totally owe you one…five…whatever you want. :)
Congrats on the 9lbs! Wow!
Well, I am doing what I can to help but regardless, just remember those 9 lbs and remember that YOU did it yourself. It’s nice to have the treadmills and the nutritionist and I definitely am rooting for that for you, but even with those things, you have to be strong enough to DO IT. And you are.. title or no title.
