Well hello there everyone! It has been way to long since I have posted anything...and it is definitely time to start back strong! I saw that my last post was may 20th, which was one day after my final weigh in with the biggest loser! Well I wanted to update everyone on how I was doing with my weight loss and my next goal! Well I stayed going strong after the biggest loser ended! I began Jamie Eason's Live fit trainer (which is amazing) and was going to the gym 5 days a week! I got through phase one great and then the first week of phase 2 for some reason my husband and I decided I should get a job(don't ask me why we think this is a good idea) Luckily I only got a temporary position until Aug. 3rd, bc I am of coarse going to continue being a stay at home mother again after that! Anyways it was super hard to fit in workouts...I had to wake up by 4:30 in order to go to the gym...which that happened I think twice! Needless to say I started to get off track! But I am back on track and in no way disappointed! I have gained about 6 pounds back, but no inches or sizes! I am so excited for what I have chosen as my next weight loss challenge to help me get closer to my goals! Another thing that got me off track was the fact that Jonathan and I have been trying to get pregnant again! I have been so caught up in that and the fact that I'm not pregnant yet that I feel like I put my weight loss to the side for some odd reason! Not anymore! I decided so that I wouldn't let it stress me out (not getting preg right away) I was going to choose something to train for...which will help me get closer to my goal, get my mind off of getting pregnant, and then if in the process we get pregnant...who hoo! I'm just not going to let it consume me as much as It was! The Lord has a plan for us...and when and if it is time...I will be pregnant again:) Anyways....at first i decided I was going to just train for another full marathon...the route 66 marathon in Tulsa on Nov. 18th, but instead I decided on 2 goals and the first one is on Sept. 22nd...it's the Redman triathlon! I will be training for the Olympic Triathlon which is 0.9 mile swim, 24.9 mile bike ride, and a 6.2 mile run! I know this is going to be super tough, but I see absolutely no reason I would not be able to achieve this goal (except for getting pregnant) As you all know...I train to finish and to compete against no one but myself, so the fact that it will probably take me 3 times as long as others means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to me! Now my next goal is a HUGE goal and if I don't begin my training today...there is NO WAY it will even be possible! It is the Half Iron man Triathlon, 1.2 mile swim, 55.9 mile bike ride, and 13 mile run! Now this one is 18 weeks away and it would be super tough, and honestly I think I would probably not finish in enough time to even have a time (I would be disqualified), but again to me....I don't care...as long as I finish! So anyways those are my goals for getting back on track with my weight loss and getting back on the work out train! I am so super pumped about all of this and am so excited! I truly believe anything is possible....you just have to work for it! Love you all so much and as always thank you so much for your help and encouragement with my weight loss!

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!

It's been a while!
Hello there everyone...wow it has been a long time and I am so sorry! It's not because I have quit on myself or stopped anything, my life has just been so busy and it is finally somewhat slowing down! 2 weeks ago at my weigh in I lost I think it was 1.6 pounds so I weighed in at 194 pounds! I can't believe it! That is a 22.8 pound weight loss for Biggest Loser and a 26.8 total pounds loss since the week before I began biggest loser! I seriously can't believe I am so close to the 80's! It is so crazy! But last week at my weigh in...I have to be honest I gained point 8 pounds! I know it's nothing crazy it's just very frusturating working as hard as I am and not losing...and at that gaining a little bit! I feel like I am at a stand still right now and I don't understand why! I have changed up my eating this week, but still have not seen a huge change in the scale yet. I know I will soon though. But the most exciting news is that the marathon is this Sunday! WOO HOO! I can't believe it is so close....all this training and it is finally here! I feel confident other than the fact that last Wednesday I was in my salon and hit my toe on this board and broke it or did something to it:( I can walk ok on it kind of, but it hurts, so Jonathan said I should wear this boot just to be safe until the marathon! I feel like an idiot wearing it just for my toe, but I wuld be sick If I started the run and was unable to finish! But just needs some prayers that it heals before then! Well guys hoping for a god weight loss on Saturday along with an amazing run on Sunday~ Everyone should come out to the marathon on Sunday...it's such a fun experience and it might even get you pumped to start running if you already don't! Super proud of my sister Lindsey for running the 2nd leg of the marathon(5k) she has recently started running and she is doing awesome! SO PROUD OF YOU MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER! GOOD LUCK! As always thank you all so much for all your support...can't wait to blog after the marathon to let you know how it went!

April 7th Biggest Loser weigh in!
Well....this past was such an awesome week for me! I knew what I wanted out of the week, so I went out and got it! First of all I knew I needed to do a 20 mile run sometime last week because it was that time in my training! I was pretty nervous considering I had not run in almost a month due to not being able to breath, but I felt GREAT! I planned my run for Thursday...woke up started it around 6:50 a.m. and ran the entire 20 miles! It took me 4 hours and 40 minutes! I was so excited because I expected it to take me at least 5 hours, but I truly believe I ran so well because of the weight I have loss and the muscle I have built. Less than 3 weeks till the marathon! I am so pumped and can not believe it is almost finally here! After 5 and a half months of training! I was pretty emotional at the end of my run bc I couldn't believe I had actaully done it, and because in my life I have made goals and met them, but none ever this big and one that seemed so extreme to me. But that brings me to my weight loss for this week, which I feel is another extreme goal that I am actually going to get to! At the last biggest loser weigh in I weighed 203 .6 pounds! This week I weighed in at 196 pounds!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....I DID IT....I am under 200 pounds! I have not been here in almost 3 years! I am now pre Molly Mae weight and right around my wedding day weight! You know all those clothes I have been able to recently fit in that have been hanging in my closet for a while now? Well they are getting to big! On top of being under 200 pounds....I won the highest percentage most this week again in the contest! I am just so excited and keep having to pinch myself because I don't believe this is me doing this! I am living this new awesome life style and couldn't be more excited! Also, I am excited to announce that I will once again be at home with my babies! As much as I love my job in the NICU at Mercy, it is just way to much for my family and I, with me in full time school, all my clients, and trying to get my health on track, my husband and I thought this would be best! I'm still going to school to become a nurse, I'm just taking it a little slower like we had originally planned! Thank you all for all your support and kind words of encouragement! Ya'll are awesome!
