I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have to lose 50 more lbs. before my actual weight matches what it says on my drivers license!!! And I've already lost 30! Yikes!!!

Am I the only one who has been "fibbing" on my drivers license???

Actually, for the first time in YEARS, I am UNDER the weight on my driver's license.

I actually raised my weight on my DL about 5 years ago, but I was still above what it said. Now I have to try to get down to the what was listed on my previous license. :eek:

I had to look- no weight on the Tx DL..... thank goodness. LOL But I have to renew it on my birthday in a couple of months- so maybe by then I'd wish it DID have a weight so then I'd be motivated not to gain after that. LOL

Oh my heck!!! I need to move!!! Why does Utah have weight on them then?!?!

I remember once I was pulled over for speeding in Missouri and when the policeman was writing my ticket he asked for my weight. :eek: I said "its on the license". :eek: That was the first and last time I drove to WDW from Utah. TOO LONG!!! :D

that's pretty cool that some states don't even ask........... do you think on most women's they just automatically add a few pounds to the listed number.........do the guys "lie" too?

No weight listed on mine, and the photo is more than ten years (and MANY pounds) ago!!! (They keep sending me these stickers to put on it at renewal time.)

Unfortunately, OH asks for weight, and mine isn't even CLOSE to being accurate! I'm 19 pounds heavier than what my license says. :o :eek: :p

There used to be a weight box in VA. Not anymore though I checked :D

No weight on the NY license either.

However, there is a weight on my military ID and I am 7 pounds heavier than what it says, which isn't bad considering 11 weeks ago I was 29 pounds heavier than what it said. So hopefully in 7 more weeks it will be accurate.

When I pick myself up off the floor & stop laughing I'll let ya know okay??? LOL!!!


Seriously, it had to be at least 50 pounds, I've lost like 24, so, I'd say at least 26 pounds to go til I get to that driver's license weight LOL....

I just had to pull out mine to look, I couldn't remember it's been a while since I've had mine re-newed. NC doesn't have the weight, but the picture tells a lot. Thankfully I can see a loss:D

I just went to check and see what my weight was on my Drivers Liscense before I clicked into the thread!! I forgot when they changed them for I don't know the second or third time or something they took the weight off!!!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce: :Pinkbounc

I have never changed the weight on my driver's license! I would have to lose 40-45 pounds to be at that weight. However, because I've been exercising more than I did in my skinny days, I will probably weigh than my license weight when I reach the size I was years ago.

Mine is dead on. I have maintained the same weight for 7 years.

Mine is 42 pounds off, LOL! When I got my license renewed the last time (when I was 20--it expires again this year) the lady asked me if anything had changed. I told her my weight had changed, but I wasn't going to tell her what my new weight was. :teeth: So the weight on there is from when I got my license when I was 16 (and now I'm 23).

LOL! I just renewed my license last week. The lady was cute.... she asked if the weight was accurrate - and it is ok to leave it. I laughed when she told me what was listed, it is 15 pounds less than my goal weight :)

So I told her that was my goal weight and she thought it was a good idea to keep it there... no sense changing it now LOL. So now I guess my goal is the weight I am on the Drivers License. Soooo that means... I got a ways more to go

This is really funny, A friend and I were talking about it just last night! My IL license is ten years old - been doing stickers for awhile - as of last week it's off by 50!!! I had just lost lots of weight 10 yrs ago and was soooo proud of it. Well, that's added incentive to get it off by the time it needs to be renewed 12/31/03! But I don't want to get down there again - 115 was completely unsustainable. I'd be thrilled at my age to get to 130 and stay around that! As my mother always said who wants a boney grandmother! NOT that I have any grandkids - (kidz 21,19,17) but when I do I want to be a little bit soft!:teeth:

I once bought my mother a mug that had the cartoon "Cathy" on it saying "I wish I weighed what my license says I weigh"

So, everyone lies about their weight:D :D I am off by 23 lbs., si I guess I should make that a mini-goal.

Mine is 29 pounds lighter than I am now! I got it renewed about a year and a half ago and they said it would be good for 6 years. I had just lost about 20 pounds by then and was still (and am still) on my way down. So NO WAY did I want it to say what I was then (20 pounds heavier than now) for 6 more years!

Mine says the same thing it did when I first got it at age 17. (It wasn't true then either:o Although it was only off by about 6-7lbs.) I can't believe I lied about this. I'm usually a very honest person. I'm rather embarrassed about it. Although, I can see I'm in good company. When they ask if everything's the same, I just say yes or close enough. So far no one's challenged me.:p I thought I had changed this since I was 17 to something a little closer to the truth (actually my current goal weight), but I guess I never did. What's on it now is 15 lbs below my goal weight.:p Next time, my goal is for it to be the truth.:o

The weight on my DL is about 20 pounds under my current poundage. Since I have to renew in the next month, I suppose I'll let them adjust it. And while they're at it, I might have them change my hair color to NONE. :)
