Mmamavation Monday Carnival - Week 1

So many of us are new or relatively new to Mamavation. I have been around and active for about 3 to 4 months and I have to tell you I learned a lot. And I mean a lot. Can I share my experience with you?


When I first came across Mamavation, I looked through Mamavation.com and got somewhat overwhelmed. Somehow ended up on bookieboo.com and got overwhelmed even more.
What to do First?

For sure - Mamavation Monday Post
2nd and very imoprtant
Tweet using #Mamavation, look for people who are active on Twitter and start talking. Ask a lot of question! If you don’t ask, you won’t get answers. If I only had 5 minutes to spend on Twitter in a day, I would spend 1 minute asking questions and 4 minutes answering questions others (rather than talking about myself).
Forums and Giveaways
Start stopping in the forum section of bookieboo.com and look for topics that might be of interest to you. You will be able to find interesting topics of conversations, new workout challenges and giveaways.
But let me put it in a different way - If you need to loose weight and looking for support, you are in the right place. Just take it one baby step at a time.
Now it is time to support others, so do me a favor – go to the next post. But whenever you do have time, come back here and read the full version of the article “Mamavation 101 article
