Even for me it is sometimes hard… my mind wants one thing but my stomach [read: body] can’t have it. Just to remind me how I did over the last few months, or years, I will record my weight, how much I’ve lost but also how much I’ve gained.
You do know which is the hardest time to lose weight? It’s between New Year and Christmas!
2013-05-09 158.0 kg BMI 39.5
2013-05-01 160.0 kg BMI 40.0
2013-03-13 165.8 kg BMI 41.5 on my home scales.
2013-01-29 169.5 kg BMI 42.4 Minus 2.5 kg, it’s a start.
2013-01-07 172.0 kg BMI 43.0 Only 4 days to go till Gastric Bypass surgery.
2012-12-06 173.0 kg BMI 43.3
This was the last time at Novarum, they closed the gastric bypass/lap band group since another hospital took over from OLVG, to which they were connected.
2012-10-11 Family crisis, didn’t go in for weight control
2012-09-06 168.6 kg BMI 42.2 
It’s a start!
2012-08-08 169.8 kg BMI 42.5 
Damn, back on the same weight as 2009-01-29 !

2011-06-09 155.2 kg BMI 38.8 This is a spiral I can get comfortable with
2011-05-12 156.3 kg BMI 39.1 Yes, I gained 6.3 kg! But… those 3.5 kg from last month had partly to do with the dehydration of 14 days ago. I don’t worry about gaining the weight, it’s just a s small setback.
2011-04-14 150.0 kg BMI 37.5 Yay, I lost 3.5 kg! In total I’ve lost 50 kg / 110.23 lbs, only 35 kg / 77 lbs to go before they can start cutting the excess meat/skin away. [Which is also extra weight]
2011-03-10 I overslept, so no weigh in
2011-02-10 153.5 kg You gain some, but all is not lost!

2010-05-20 Still in Milan, not a scale in sight!
2010-04-21 155.0 kg BMI 39.0 Nothing gained, but also nothing lost!
2010-03-25 155.0 kg BMI 39.0 Boy, am I glad I stepped on my own scales just a day ahead of getting plaster on my leg. Otherwise I would have gained 2.5 kilo’s!

Hello Peter,
I enjoyed Amsterdam very much, thank you again for showing us around! we enjoyed your company. It took a week for us to eat the choc’s you bought us,yum,yum! The flower’s you bought me were lovely! I think your dad will be on stand by to keep taking your trouser’s in! you are doing so well with your weight loss!
Andrew & I enjoyed our day with you and your parents, my friends loved the photo’s of me dressed as a Dutch lady!
I enjoyed my stay with Andrew in London, he spoilt me which was nice!
I am now back to my dancing, my friends missed me.
Hope your Dad & Brother enjoyed their birthday!
Please give my best wishes to your parents.
Take care, Pam.
It was great finely meeting you after all these years, and it was a pleasure to show you and Andrew around town and beyond. Till we meet again!
PS
jammer dat het niet meteen lukt om onder de 170 te komen.
geef de moed niet op, het zal je zeker lukken.
v&d. pa

Hoi Peter,
ben je gister nog geweest ???
En hoe is het gegaan ????
Groetjes Ria
het blijft een grote strijd, maar jezelf beheersen is ook de moed niet opgeven.
wij zullen doorgaaaaaaaan!!
pa
Peter,
van harte You did it !!!!
Onder de 170, dit moet een ongelooflijke mijlpaal voor je zijn.
Ennuh mijn ogen zijn ook nog steeds VEEL groter dan m’n maag hoor !!!!
Groetjes Ria
Hoi Peter,
moeten we raden vandaag ????
Groetjes Ria
I was just preparing for it, as soon as I’ve seen them at Novarum I’ll update the site.
PS
You’ve lost 67 pounds in two years. Keep it up. Don’t be at war with your own body. (Topic of an upcoming Josh post.)
Ieder kilo’tje minder geeft vreugde!! Je kan het !!!
Doorgaan, ondanks verleidingen.
een “trotse”pa
Very proud of you Peter!
Given Charcot and diabetes you have done brilliantly well. Mum told me about your forthcoming trip to the US. You will have the best time. Mum so enjoyed our time with you in Amsterdam, as did I of course. Thank you so much for your friendship these past 31 years!!
Love you,
Andrew
Peter says: 31 years… time flies… I can still see us joking around at the Jermyn Street shops, between customers. Don’t forget Marc our ‘manager’ who works still in this street only in a different building, we’ve been friends with him also for 31 years!
Dear Marc! He’s in Ghana right now. Not a good traveller so I pray he’s having a good time. Sure to be interesting.
Peter says: He know’s how to pick his destinations
Hoi Peter,
Wat heb je toch een geweldige site! En wat ben je geweldig afgevallen, gefeliciteerd.
Hoop dat alles goed gaat met je – zo te lezen wel – dus !
Wat hebben we elkaar lang niet gezien. Er is en hoop gebeurd. Ben niet meer zo vaak in Noord nu mijn moeder is overleden in jan. 09 maar ben zeker dat we wel een terrasje kunnen pikken op een mooie zonnige dag niet ver van nu.
Hey, you’re making great progress!!! Fantastic. Keep up the great work. woohoo!! Congrats! But watch out for ‘em chocolate Easter bunnies this weekend!
Hallo Peter
Ik vind het erg leuk om op je blog te schrijven. Inmiddels ben ik klaar met mijn therapie. Hier geef ik je de site van de aqua-swing site die mij zo goed helpt.
Hier is de site

Veel groetjes en sterkte met alles van Adrienne
Wow! Another 4 kilos lost! Guess you didn’t eat too much fastfood in the US of A!
Gaat het nog een beetje?
Een mooie tijd om goede voornemens te realiseren, begin na de 1e Kerstdag, dan heb je nog wel enige reserves over!!
GOOD LUCK

Almost 45 kilos lost since you began Peter! Fantastic!!
Now that I’ve read further I realise that my earlier comment (Secret Annex) wishing you well for the surgery is way too late. Too fast off the mark, apparently.
Impressed with your steady weight loss and I guess all I can say is keep at it. Coming from Cape Town (now living in London) I speak fluent Afrikaans so it’s also a bonus that I can understand all the dutch entries from your friends and commenters.
Adore Amsterdam and sooo looking forward to this return trip – it’s been approx a yr since my last foray – and to revisiting some old haunts and ‘discovering’ some new gems plus there’s this really great beer I remember ….. (but cannot remember name right now, ooops).
I say, lucky you and lucky me as we both live in two fabulous cities.
Keep tippin’ those scales the right way.
De praktijk is moeilijker dan de werkelijkheid, vooral in deze periode zijn de verleidingen erg groot.
31 december is een mooi ijkpunt, zorg dat er nog iets afgaat, het moet je lukken !!!!
Sterkte !
