No longer lying...

edited September 22 in Success Stories
The last time I filled out the form for my driver's license, I lied about my weight. It wasn't much of a lie at the time, maybe 20 pounds or so. Over time, I gained weight and it became more and more of a lie.

I looked at my license today, and realized that for the past week or two, it really wasn't a lie. Now I'm lying in the other direction... I weigh 7 pounds less than I claim on my license! WOO HOO! I guess the next time around I will have to have my picture taken and put a NEW number on there...

    Wow. I don't even know what mine says! I think I was pregnant when I had mine renewed and the lady was like "Just guess what you'd be if you weren't pregnant" lol.

    Just looked it says 175...I'm currently 159 WOOHOO!

    I just renewed my license in September and I was able to take off 12 kg off my license from when I last renewed it 5 years ago. I had also gained weight in the last 5 years, so it was really nice to be able to record a loss instead of a gain.

    LOL... when I filled out mine for my license, it was a total lie. I said I was 200 lbs. but I had no honest idea how much I actually weighed. 200 was probably the last time I had weighed myself and it was a few years ago. I probably weighed at least 20 lbs. (if not 30!) more but I didn't actually know it.

    I was pretty psyched when I hit that "under 200" for the first time in a while mark- my license was now accurate! Yay!

    Now, I'm at 15 lbs. less than my license says! Which feels really, really good =)=)

    The last time I had to go in to get my license they didn't ask me to update my info. I KNOW I was more then 125 at the time LOL. Now I know for sure. My license expires in 2012 so I can update then and hopefully I will be at 140 (125 is too light for me heh)

    Congratulations! I don't honestly know if I was lying last time I gave my weight, but I know it was 20 pounds under what I weighed when I started back here last year. My license is up next April, and I am so looking forward to telling the truth. I should be at least 80 pounds less than what my license says now:)

    Congratulations!

    This made me look at my own... I was 210 when I got it, 225 when I started here, and I'm back down to 208ish now, so woohoo. :)

    Good for you! That's great.
    Mine's always been under by at least 20 pounds. Last time, I said the highest weight I ever claimed, 180. I'm almost down there now. :smile:

    I had no idea some states didn't put your weight on your license. :embarassed:

    LOVE this topic, lol. i was inspired to look at my own license, it says 165, and that was probably true at the time. i'm currently about 163, but that's after a 15 lb up and down!

    i guess i'm not concerned if the dmv knows my real weight, but i FOR SURE lie on my acting resume. when i need to put down a weight there i do at most 145, which i don't think i've been since i was in middle school! i just tell myself that 145 is the number that a 'weight expert' at US Weekly would peg me at. HA. maybe when i hit my goal weight (155) i'll quit lying? ...maybe :)

    (I'm so glad I live in a state that does not put weight on your drivers license!) :blushing:
