    Mine has my goal wt on it which is actually 100 lbs lighter than I actually am! And no one has ever questioned it.

    I'm happy to say I weigh 1 pound less than it says. But it used to be that I was 70 pounds heavier....YIKES!!

    I lied like a rug on mine just in November, and now I'm 4 pounds lighter than I put on the form. That was actually a specific goal for me - to get down to driver license weight!

    When I get to goal I'll definitely get a new one.

    I'm a bit lighter than what it says, but I had really good muscle tone in high school, so it was probably more muscle and less fat. =(

    Very proud to say I'm 5 pounds lighter then my license says and that weight hasn't been updated since 1993. The picture is from over a hundred pounds ago though so it's sort of funny when I get asked for ID because they think it's not mine until I explain I lost weight.

    Mine says I'm about 15 lbs heavier! I also look way different, since I'm only 18 in the picture & almost 22 now. I always get a double-take for ID. :(

    Mine is soooo wrong.. My license says I am the weight I was before I gained all this weight. I need to lose enough so that my DL is accurate again...

    Mine currently says 180, and my most recent "official" weight is 169.2

    My old one said 200 and during possession of it I was once as low as 159. I was surprised more people didn't do double takes upon carding me, haha

    I didn't know what it said until I saw this. It says I weigh 58 lbs less than I do! Haha. Well, maybe this time next year I'll match my driver's license weight. Good grief.

    Lol! Funny topic! I'm surprised that some states don't ask, interesting. Probably makes sense since many people would lie anyway. Mine is 15 pounds more than I am now ;)

    I renew my license with the same weight I had at 18. It's about 80 pounds under the correct weight.:). But baby it's going to get there soon!!!

    Think I'll change my goal weight to 135. That is what my license says. Current weight 167. Haven't weighed 135 since I first met my husband. That is over 20 years ago.

    This thread made me chuckle...the weight on my drivers says 200lbs but when I got it I actually weighed about 275lbs but hey they just ask you how much you weigh, no scale or anything, haha. But now I actually weigh 156, so I am 44lbs lighter then the weight shown and in the picture I weigh about 270lbs. No wonder when I show it as ID, people always get a confused look, haha!

    Well, when I first got my license, my weight was about 20 lbs lower on my license than I actually was. That was 2008. It is now reersed. I am 20 lbs lighter than what my license reads.

    I was probably in denial, I put 120 even though I was 125 +, although more likely 130. I've been bouncing between 106-110 for the last few months, so I'm a good 20 pounds lighter now ^^.

    More than 100 pds off !!! I just didn't want to tell them the truth ! I was so scared that when I finally got up to the front of the line she'd say "We have a scale in the back room and you'll have to come with me and get weighed." But nobody said a word about writing down 145 pounds when I was obviously about 250 pounds !!

    I had a cop friend say the other day - "you should really get a new license - if you get picked up they will not believe the fat old lady in the picture is the skinny girl in the driver's seat" !! Kind friend. 60 pounds less now.

    I'm 30 lbs heavier than what my license says. I lied on the application. :X They should just get rid of the weight on licenses everywhere... It's a bit insulting.

    I am 20 lbs lighter than my licesnse says. I am glad some one asked that question. It makes a crappy morning a little better.

    I lied on mine because I was like 430 pounds and people's reactions are crazy. BUT I am now, four pounds away from the 350 that I claimed on my license. Woo-Hoo!!!
