I went to get my driver's license renewed, and handed my old one to the DMV lady who looked at me, looked at the license, then did a double-take.

"Wow. What a difference!"

I didn't think all that much of it until I got my new license in the mail.

Umm, yeah. Guess losing 135 pounds makes a bit of a difference ;)

    I wish I could with my work ID but they don't do renewals on those! I was lucky that it was time to renew my DL...hated showing that old one. Plus this one actually displays my real life weight.

    haha I was showing the girl at work my old hair colour the other day on my old work ID badge, and she was like "that's not even you!". She got a bigger shock when I showed her my driving license. That picture really does look like someone else. Partly because I've grown up a lot since then

    You look like a totally different person. Congrats on your success! And by the way - you take great driver's license photos - both of them - I look like I'm drunk in mine.

    Did you completely and totally lie about your weight on the first one and then end up surpassing it by a lot? That happened to me and it was AWESOME!
    Great job!! You look amazing!

    Oh yes - great proof once again of the "new you" :-)
    On the work ID - easy way - report it lost / misplaced!!

    There is definitely a remarkable difference, which is amazing! But I also see your beauty in both.

    You already know my opinion. Great on the health and fitness. Gorgeous in both. Spirit-wise, I think its important to know we can be heavier than ideal health and beautiful all at the same time. You ARE still the same person as you were before. That person is awesome from every angle.

    Great job!! You look amazing!

    Yep, that's about right. My current license says 50 pounds less than the old. And the current is actually truthful ;)

    Looks great...mine was the opposite..my face was fatter than the last... I might have to pay the $20.00 to get a new one when I lose the weight.
