NSV: My driver's license weight is WRONG

edited January 4 in Success Stories
Like most people, I lied about my weight on my driver's license. I was about 225 when it was renewed, and kept it at 200.

A few weeks ago, it was right--I was down 52 pounds and exactly 200 pounds.

As of yesterday, it's now wrong again--I weighed in at 198.

Happy dance time :-)

    I actually got stopped the other day and the police officer didn't think it was my license because it didn't need to be renewed until next year so I am at my old weight in it - which is about 153 pounds heavier! Maybe I should just go take another pic?

    I can't believe you have to put your weight on your driving licence?! What do you do if you lose (or gain) a lot? Are you supposed to apply for a new one?

    Congrats though!! :)

    I get funny looks now when I show my license. I was 255 when I had my photo taken and now I am 111. Probably should get a new one but I am a birdie (read: cheap!) and don't want to spend the money on a new one until this one expires.

    Congrats on being under your weight on yours!!! That is terrific!!!

    If I had to have put it on there I know I would have just lied.

    That is really exciting! It must feel really good and sounds like it served as motivation for you but I would hate to have to disclose my weight my my lisence!

    They don't put your weight on your ID is Mass, I feel like that would be really awkward for a lot of people no matter what you weighed! Like how wants their weight displayed like that on a card?!

    Thank you Massachusetts for not requiring that!

    I think I have you beat, I haven't changed my driver license weight since I was 16. Good for you! I'm still working on making my license weight.

    Perhaps you could accidentally on purpose "lose" your license in a shredder so that you must get a new one with your correct weight on it :happy:

    Congrats on your loss :flowerforyou:

    I had "my driver's license is right" for one of my 10-pound increment goals. I had put 240 on my last renewal, when I was 40 pounds or more over that. Just before I got to 240, I lost my DL along with all my cards. After waiting a few days, I went to the Courthouse and got a duplicate, but I could edit information on the DL. So, I put 220 as my weight. Well, now I'm below that!

    Oh my goodness! I did the same thing!!!
    When I first got my driver's license (2 years ago) I weighed 280ish. I had them put 250. I realized the other day that it was wrong and in a good way, maybe by only 5lbs but hey I was so stinkin' happy (:

    Hey, you prompted me to check my license...and can I join your club because mine is wrong too, which is wierd because I don't remember marking my weight down as 60 pounds lighter then what I was when I applied for it...cough cough. But now I am actually lighter then the lying weight, I already feel more virtuous hahaha.
