    My driver's license weight has said 132 ever since I got it and it matched my bathroom scale then. I am now almost 20 lbs lighter than that but also was once more than 20 lbs heavier without changing it.

    mine is dead accurate now.

    at one point years ago, though, it was about an eighty pound lie. by the time i finished the diet, liquor stores were giving me serious trouble about accepting the ID because i didn't look like the picture.

    Why does the driver's license have to have weight? O.o

    Are the cops like "Ma'am step on the scale please" and then give you a 20 dollar fine if it doesn't match?

    Mine is 15 over my current weight. And I know I rounded down by 5-10 pounds when I got it.

    But then again I was heavier at 16 than now. Just got mine renewed and the guy didn't let me change it...

    yeah lol.... it's a weird thing to have on a license seeing as someone's weight can change drastically due to lifestyle...

    I'm a few pounds lighter than my D.L. weight - but way back then, I fudged it cuz I didn't want to go into the 200's. So I'm a pretty happy camper. When I get to my goal - I will get a new Costco card and D.L. hehe

    My driver license has always had a fake weight number, which was always lower than my actual. I've had it updated a few times over the year, the first time I entered my weight I had no idea how much I weighed. The next couple of times I just made up numbers that were lower than my actual because of embaressment. I can't wait to be at my goal weight and get it updated with a REAL number! :)

    That's weird, but my state thankfully doesn't put people's weight on their license.

    I'm from NY. We don't put weight on our licenses, probably for that reason.

    When I went to the DMV to renew my license last July, my weight was off by 35 lbs. I had decided to be honest about my weight gain, but the lady at the counter asked if I just wanted 160 to be my goal weight instead of changing my license. That's what I did.
