    Mine is actually right on the money! It wasn't that way for a couple of years though...but I've gotten back down to the weight that's on my license. I just realized that the other day!

    Mine says I weigh 14 lbs less than what I weigh. I don't think I've ever weighed what my license says I weigh since I've had my license!

    I had to haul out my DL to see.
    No weight listed on there, but I remember it used to be at some point because when I initially got it and renewed it, I was asked the same question "is all the info still correct?" The Dept of Motor Registration must have removed it at some point.
    Anyways, if I remember correctly, on there I was 150lbs....still 11lbs off :ohwell: .......but I'm working on it. :smile:

    Doesn't everone lie about their weight on their driver's license? I certainly did and I'm sure I'm in the majority. But, guess what! I now weigh 13 lbs less than my DL says. Thanks, MFP.

    I had to update it around the time I was realizing that it was time to lose weight. Therefore, my picture and my weight are about 50lbs heavier than what I am now, which is both good and bad. I'll probably get a new one sooner or later.

    I last renewed in August '08, and at the time I was being truthful - 140. OK maybe I was 5 - 10 over that, I don't remember. Then I shot up to 230 in three years, but now I'm down to about 212. So we're working on getting back to the driver's license number!

    well I can proudly say that since losing this weight, my weight is now the same as it's always been on my driver's license :) And the funny thing is, that was the weight given over 10 years ago, I've just been renewing it online since then :)

    Originally it was 60lbs lighter than what I was, but now I am only 30 pounds away from reaching the weight I lied about and I just renewed my liscense. Hoping to be way under by the time I have to get it re-done!

    Because some states have that on their licenses, I live in NY where they don't have that.

    When I started, I was 65 lbs OVER the listed weight. When I renewed my license, I was exactly what HAD been listed so I didn't change it. Now, I'm 72 lbs UNDER the listed weight!

    I've never lived in a state that put your weight on your driver's license. Either NY and CT are states where people yo-yo a lot, or they are states that realize that weight isn't as permanent as height or eye color.

    I have to renew mine tomorrow. I've been debating on what weight to put on it. I keep thinking I want to put a much lower weight because I KNOW I will get down to that weight at some point. Yet, part of me just wants to be truthful so I can look back at it and realize how far I've come. I'm still not sure what I want to do.

    At the time, I was about 20-25 lb over. Now I am 5 lb over.

    I am 40lbs heavier than my current one. I got mine renewed at my very lightest weight about 4 years ago and haven't bothered to change it :) One of my ex co-workers said hers was off by over 100+lbs...haha

    I'm slightly jealous that there are states that don't require your weight to be on your DL. Mine is about 10 pounds lighter than I am right now. I haven't changed it in about 10 years, and now I'm at least closer to it than I used to be. I was at one point about 40 pounds more than what it said, so hooray for being within spitting distance of my DL weight! :bigsmile:

    Mine is off by about 60 pounds now. I "underestimated" when I got my license (you know how that goes for women). Then I actually lost weight.
    My license says 180 when I was really about 210. Now I'm 125. :) I look NOTHING like my pic.
