    Mine is 14 under where I am today. I need to renew in oct. I assume It will be about the same then as what is on there now. :)

    Mine used to be 60 pounds less than I really was and then when I turned 40, it was 20 pounds heavier than I was so I got a new one and put down a weight five pounds below my goal weight and got a new picture of my smaller face. No more double chin!! :)

    When I was issued my license, I was about 250, but I just kept the previous weight on the license of 230.

    Now I'm 203.

    Depending on the day, either right on the dot or little more than I weigh now.

    Mine says 170, I'm 143. :) I'd lied, I was 195 when I got it. So I look way different. I always get a double take when I get ID'd.

    Reading this thread out of boredom. I noticed one thing, most of the people who have posted a picture (assumably of themselves) we are a pretty good looking bunch.

    My dl picture is better than the one on here... I will fix that in the am... hahha

    Heh. My driver's license pic from 2002 is my favorite picture of any I have ever had taken of me.

    'course, I actually had a full head of hair, then. :(

    Mine is actually 27 pounds heavier than I am now- and at the time, I lied and said I was 10 pounds lighter than what I actually was!

    Funny topic!

    When my DL was issued, I probably weighed at least 40 pounds more than what my DL states. Now, I'm only 16 pounds away from my DL weight, and my goal weight is probably 20-25 pounds under my DL weight. I just got a new license last year, though, and licenses in my state last 5 years. :-/

    NY doesn't put weight on the license? I thought all states did! Mine says what is "average", "normal" or "healthy" for my height. I remember my doctor told me to do that when I got my license because I apparently don't look what my actual weight is and that if I was reported missing or something, they'd go by the weight on my license to report me. I don't know anyone who has their weight accurate on their license (most say under what they really are).

    My DL says 140, I'm 144lbs now, but I'm also 16 weeks pregnant :)

    Probably about as accurate as the picture.

    Mine started at 115 lbs. since I was 16 when I got it. When I got to 130 lbs. I was honest and changed it. I guess I'm not as honest as I used to be because it still says 130 lbs. lol. That's my goal weight though so eventually it will be correct.

    Um, I LIE on mine! LOL. Mine is off by 28 lbs currently but was off by 54 not that long ago.. I also fabricate this number on my fishing license. I am hoping soon that it will be a lie in the other direction :). When I get that that point, I will "lose" my current one so I can get a replacement with my new and much lower weight!!

    we don't have it on our licenses here but I can tell you I went to go get my passport renewed recently and I ONLY lied by saying 5lbs lighter than I am...which is now 2.8 lighter than I am lol. I hope to be less than what the weight says by the time I use it in May haha.

    truth be told i'm kind of excited for when I have to renew it in 5 years because i'm planning for it to be 75-80lbs less than it is on this one!

    Mine says I am 80 pounds heavier than I am right now ( and the picture looks it !) because I am too cheap to go change it lol it is funny for years I lied about my weight on every Id I ever got by at least 30 lbs.

    I'm almost 25 lbs heavier than my license. It's on my list of milestones I want to meet.

    LOL, well fortunately VA doesn't print the weight on the license, but I will say that I've lost 30+ lbs since I filled out the form at my last renewal (last August)... and it's STILL almost 20 lbs less than what I actually weigh now! Haha! I don't know who I was kidding! Especially since my face on the license looks a solid 50 lbs heavier than my face now. Oh, the irony.

    Since it was issued when I was 16, it was somewhere between 30-80 pounds lower then my actual weight. as of today, it is only 5 pounds lower. not bad :) My goal is to EVENTUALLY be riiiiight there,

    Mine says 135, but I'm really 130. Close enough. I didn't know what my weight was when I was 16, filling out the forms for my license, but my friends guessed my weight for me. Twenty years later I'm not much different I guess, except that my boobs got bigger! :laugh:

    In 2006 when I was 16.. I lied and said I was 145 ( I think I really was 165) .. now that I am realizing I need to renew my license this April.. I am at 180... uhmm, no way I'll be down to that by then

    I am 13lbs. away from my DL weight. I'm hoping to ultimately be 20lbs.+ under at some point. Though, I think I need to take a new picture... It's been 6 years and I don't get anywhere NEAR as tan as I used to, and I've lost most of my baby fat out of my face despite my weight gain.
