Side view before final weigh in!

Steppin on the scale one last time!

Last weigh in until the next biggest loser!

haha....just finished my final weigh in!

FINAL WEIGH IN!

Well it has been a long 11 weeks, but I am so excited to share with you the final results in my FIRST step towards my body transformation!  I have decided to call it that now instead of weight loss because that is what I want to do....transform my body to something I truly NEVER thought was a possibility!  So as you might know from reading my posts on FB or from my past blogs, yesterday was my final weigh in for the OKC Biggest Loser contest... it was an 11 week contest which began March 3rd and ended yesterday May 19th!  I began the contest one week late on March 10th, but had began blogging again and ready to lose weight March 3rd, but did not start the contest till the following week(I didn't know about it)  But my final results were from March 10th till May 19th....10 weeks I lost 32.8 pounds...and since March 3rd I have lost a total of 36.8 pounds.....which takes me to 53.2 pounds away from my goal weight, and from March 13th -May 18th I have lost a total of 29 inches and gone from a size 20 to now I am currently in a 14, but only a week or 2 away from a comfortable size 12!  I am here to tell you it is possible to get to where you want to be with your weight loss guys!  I HAVE NOT been close to this size since high school and beginning of college!  Seriously I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS!  In high school... when I think I looked pretty good weight wise(of coarse still thought I was fat)  I was a size 10 or 12...and that was weighing I think about 160 pounds...so I feel so close!  I can't even begin to tell you how UNREAL I feel...I truly believe anything is possible!  I always looked at my horrible love handles, my stomach....and my HHHHHOOOOORRRRRIIIIIBBBLLLLLEEEE arms and always thought...ok when I lose weight these will look better, but I will obviously have to get some kind of plastic surgery to ever make them look decent!  Totally NOT TRUE!   I have seen people from blogs, people that helped with the biggest loser, and many youtube videos of people that don't need any of that, that were quite a bit bigger than I was!  My goal has never been to get in a bikini in the summer, or be able to run in shorts and a sports bra...mainly because I just thought it was not even a possibility, but now I KNOW I will soon do both!  I just simply wanted to be a smaller size and comfortable in my clothes and my own skin again!  But now I BELIEVE IN MYSELF and that I can get there!  A tummy tuck does not have to be the answer...YOU are the answer...you have to get up and work for it!  It's not going to get there by doing nothing...I have learned you can not lose weight by just wanting to lose weight...you actually have to eat healthy and work out!  Fad diets are not the answer!  I am so pumped because tomorrow I start a new work out plan!  I am going to do the Jamie Eason 3 phase live fit trainer!  It is going to help me continue to eat healthy, build muscle, and continue losing weight!  Last night after my final weigh in we had people over to to kind of celebrate, and for an excuse to have a party...anyways Jonathan and I decided we were not going to drink, but I had decided I would let myself eat a hot dog, some chips, and just kind of munch of the food that we had during the party....guys....I DON'T WANT TO ANYMORE!  I feel like there is something seriously wrong with me...haha  ME Brittany Cramer...queen of disgustingly bad for you food!  I ate 2 bites of a hot dog and threw it away...maybe a handful of chips...like seriously there is NOTHING in me that wants to eat unhealthy or at that ever drink alcohol that much again!  I mean we rarely drink anyways, but at a fun party like last night we always would!    I  again just want to thank every single one of you for reading my blog or fb statuses, commented on a photo or post, or even just liking something I post....I promise you .....that IS what has gotten me to where I am right now!  Thank you guys all again so much for your love and support...I still have a bit to go, but I know I am going to get there....thank you all again!  This pic is My first weigh in March 10th and before my final weigh in May 19th!

Only 2 more weeks for BIGGEST LOSER!

Hello wonderful blog!  I have not been keeping up as much as I wish I was, but I have been busy with school etc., but after this week the semester is over(THANK GOODNESS!)  Well this past week was such a great week!  First of all, last Sunday the 29th I completed my first FULL MARATHON!  WOO HOO!  It was AMAZING!  I crossed the finish line at 6 hours and 31 minutes...yes I said 6 hours and 31 minutes....I ran every single step of it as well!  Obviously I'm not a fast runner....but my goal was to simply finish...and run the entire time!  It was truly the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life (maybe giving birth naturally was a little tougher), but crazy hard!  I just still can't believe I actually did it!  Well actually I can, bc I worked very hard for 6 months for it!  Thank goodness 4 months into my training I got my mind right and decided it was time to start eating healthy as well so I can lose some LBS!  This past weigh in on the 5th went really well!  I had been pretty stressed out the last couple week because I was clearly at a Plateau, which is not fun!  I was sticking at 194lbs for a good 3 weeks!  I wasn't gaining any at all, but was getting so frustrated because no more was coming off!  I knew at some point I would hit a plateau...I just was hoping it was after the Biggest Loser!  But after some change up and lots of hard work this week I lost 5 pounds putting me at 189 pounds!  OMG....I can not believe I weigh 189 pounds!  I know I still have a long way to go, but I have not been this low since before I was pregnant with Madi Rae, and honestly....long before I was pregnant with her!  Until I think it was 2 weeks ago I had been in 2nd place in the biggest loser competition the entire time...and only losing by a small percentage, but now after my 3 week plateau I think I am in 5th or 6th...and you know what....THAT'S OK!  Saturday was the first morning I woke up realized I weighed 31 pounds less than I did barely 2 months ago...and I decided I was already winning...and at that...The Biggest Loser Winner!  I know it's super corny, but seriously I truly never thought I would actually be at this point!  31 pounds lighter?  I truly believe I can still win the competition, but really either way it makes no difference to me!  Of coarse a cruise with my handsome husband would be amazing and is MUCH NEEDED, but man I am on my road to my goal!  Better yet...Jonathan and I have decided when I hit 160 we are going to start trying for another little Cramer!  I told him I just want to know that I am comfortably with my eating and working out and know I will continue it throughout the pregnancy!  I CAN'T WAIT!  On that exciting note of bringing another baby our family I am going to say Goodnight and LOVE you all and am so thankful for you ALL!
