Driver's License Weight

What's on your driver's license? Is it accurate? Did you ever lie about it?

Mine says 128 -- it was accurate at the time it was issued 6 years ago, and up until about 15 months ago. I am now just 2 lbs. away from it being accurate again :)

Funny, one time I was having surgery and the anesthesiologist came in to chat before. He asked "so, how much do you say you weigh today?". I laughed. He said "yeah well we have to add 10%. to whatever you say".

    Mine said 200 lbs when I got it back in 2008. At the time I think I weighed about 230 or so. Ballooned to 255 give or take and am currently sitting at 152.8 lbs. I am SO looking forward to my new license next year!

    Mine is higher than my current weight. I had to renew it shortly after joining MFP and decided not to change it from what it was 4 years ago. I forget what it says eactly, but I think it's 5 or 10 lbs heavier than my actual weight now. :(

    Glad I live in PA -- we don't have to put our weight on our licenses!

    LOL. I live in the ho-dunk Yukon and my DL doesn't have Weight / Eye Colour / Hair colour

    It is also just a piece of laminated paper :)

    Mine currently says 250 but that has been a lie for about 5 years...It was actually more than that. I'm proud to say that it is still wrong, but in the other direction now! I currently weigh 244 and one of my rewards to myself for reaching my goal is to go to the DMV and get a new license. (mine doesn't renew for several more years). I REFUSE to have that nasty thing for longer than I have to!

    I just wanted to add that not only is my weight seriously wrong on my DL but my picture barely looks anything like me anymore. I had security at the airport do a double take last month and I had a guy at a convenience store request to see my license a second time because he said it didn't look like me. :huh: You should see my passport photo, don't even think I could get away with using it and them believing it was me.

    *LOL*
    this post made me look to see what was even on my DL for weight.

    Surprised me to see it was 73Kg (160 pounds)
    Surprised me because 160 is my goal weight, and at present i am the closest i have ever been to being that weight. As of this morning's weigh-in i only have 17.5 pounds to go *LOL*

    so i guess that means i lied on it *LOL*

    Hahahaha! Of course I lied the first time I got my DL... because I always meant to get down to 130. That DL said I was 130 even when I hit my 178 highest!

    Hahahaha... I laugh now because I renewed my DL this year and I did it again. Now that I am 130 (129.3, actually) my DL says that I am 125 but my goal is 119. It doesn't matter. It's a picture of my face and that is not going to change (I hope my face doesn't get skinnier! ew) ... I suppose I can update it when I am 119/120 but I can live with it saying that I am 125. In Arizona, our DL's expire when we turn 65, so I am probably keeping this one until I move again. *shrug* It's all good.

    when I got my DL at 16 I added 20 pounds and said 135. I was looking ahead to when I got older. LOL This is the first time I weigh more than what it says..but only by 4 pounds. i think the fact the pic is from when I was 18 - they haven't had me update it (I'm now 32) probably causes more second thoughts than my weight :)

    mine has NEVER been accurate. LOL. mine says 150 which I am now 43 lbs away. Just got my license renewed a few weeks ago and when I get to my goal I'm going to get it changed immediately because of the AWFUL picture I took. NEVER in my 30 years of drivers license pictures have I ever had one so BAD. My reason will be that I don't look like that with my weight loss. :)

    Mine says 230lbs. When I got it I was probably 10lbs over that. Yes, I lied. My highest was 293 during pregnancy, 287 just before the pregnancy. I am currently 253lbs. When I reach my goal I think I'll get another one made. I'd wait until it expires, but mine doesn't expire until 2044. Gotta love Arizona. For some reason the AZ government doesn't think people change over 50 years.

    Mine says 200, I was 10 over that until I started MFP. Now the license is 40 pounds over me!

    This made me laugh because any time I go to the dentist and they ask me, I'm always so quick to give an EXACT answer, (no rounding down). They always look at me like, "Okaaay...."

    Mine says the weight I weighed the last time I had it renewed, when I turned 21 (8 years ago), which is actually 5lbs above my goal weight, so hopefully when I have to get it renewed next year it will be right or I will be able to have them lower it :smile:

    I don't know how many years I had it that weight but mine said 250 and I weighed 350 just a few months ago. I'm hoping to make it accurate by January when it is renewed.

    My current driver's license weight is 136. I WAS 136 when I wrote that weight down--I even updated it from the 127 my first license was after I had to replace it when it got stolen with my whole purse.

    Currently I'm 41 pounds more than that. Hopefully I'll be back down to 136 in a few months. And then back to my goal weight of 127.

    Hahaha dancers joke all the time about the difference between your "real weight" and your "resume weight". My resume needs to be updated (I haven't used it in about a year because I'm actually in a company), but it was about 15 pounds off the last time I used it. Most tall girls (like me!) lie a lot because there are a number of companies out there that have weight limits (ie, all females can't weigh more than 125 pounds). When I was an inch and a half shorter and at my most anorexic I was 125 pounds - no way I'm going back there again, but I'll write it on my resume if it will get me a job!

    My license says 145 which was accurate at the time, but now I'm 34 lbs heavier and my goal weight isn't even that low! Granted, at my goal weight I'll be more muscle and should be the same size as when I weighed 135. But, when I renew it, I now live in Michigan and they don't require it.

    Mine wasn't accurate because when I got it renewed 6 years ago, I was 9 months pregnant (about to go into the hospital, actually)! It says 165 lbs, but I was 215 in my picture. So I've got a double/triple chin thing going on from being all bloated from the pregnancy and then it says 165. I don't look like my picture anymore (thankfully) but I'm still higher than 165. Funny enough, that's my current first goal. haha

    Mine says 185...I am at 230. I was 200 when I had them done...so hopefully I will be at goal when I have to get them renewed in 2013!

    Isn't that a great question!

    Mine reads 245 and it was BS when I gave that number — I was about 10 pounds heavier!

    Different story now!
