Just curious - how many of you who have more than 20 lbs to lose are honest about your weight on your driver's license? I'm about 65 lbs over what mine says I am, probably because I never changed it from when I first got it at 16, about 12 years ago! Then I didn't want to acknowledge that I gained, but nobody at the MVA called me out on it when I renewed.

    Mine used to be 25 to 50 lbs. under what I weighed. Now? It's probably 30 lbs OVER :-)

    Bahahahaha. That is funny as I was just thinking about this. Last time I had my drivers license picture taken I weighed 565 pounds. I told them I weighed 350. Ooooops. Well, since then I have lost 189 pounds and I still weigh 26 pounds more than the license says. Oh well.....In 5- to 6 weeks it will be accurate.

    When I got my license at 16...I said I weighed 148. Up until age 20, I weighed about 163. Then when I went in to change my license at 21, I told them I weighed 130 (probably weighed closer to 135). A year later, I weigh 125 :)

    Not sure...Mine just says the number 8. Pretty sure I do not weight 8lbs nor 8 tons.

    Mine is only 3 pounds less than what I currently weigh. I have 40 more pounds I want to lose. So, not too bad. When I got it, I hadn't been on a scale in about 6 1/2 months, so I was guessing.

    PA doesn't have the weight on them... Thank GOD! I think it is silly to have the weight on at all with the way weight changes so easily.

    Why would your drivers license say it in the first place? Is that normal in the US?

    Haven't ever seen a 'weight' part here in Europe, it's such a fluctuating thing though seems silly to have it in the first place, unlike other things to ID you, like eyes, height etc.

    Curious - why is weight necessary on your driving license?

    It varies from state to state.

    Weight's not listed here in the license.. Why should it say it anyway? There's not even height. Just name, date of birth, validity, city and license number.

    Same for me! It was a big scale victory for me!

    NH used to just have a weight "class" on the license, but when I renewed mine a few months ago, they switched it and put the actually weight on it. Not too happy about that..

    I just renewed my license yesterday, and I was honest that I had gained 10lbs since my last time. The DMV worker was like... ohh, so you picked up a few pounds since the last time, and we joked about it. I don't think he meant that in a derogatory way, he was just making small talk. Little does he know, I am kicking my butt to get back down to that weight.
