No longer a liar...

So, a few months ago someone posted on this board, "What does your driver's license say your weight is?" OH MY! Well, after laughing at all the posts, I went directly to my wallet and was shocked. Uh, nope. Not seen that weight in years, apparently.

However, as of today, I am no longer a liar. ( And, as a matter of fact, I still have about 8lbs to go...we shall see.)

But for now, I am what I say I am.

    This is so funny, after reading your post, I got out my license-I had no idea what my weight was on there. I'm happy to say that after I'm only 2 lbs over what it says after my recent weight loss--what a pleasant suprise! More motivation to get lower than my DL weight and keep going! Thanks!

    LOL..It's funny you posted this..I actually set my goal to be the weight on my Driver's License! I got my DL about 8 months before I started "getting healthy" and I was utterly shocked to find out that the difference between my starting weight and my DL weight was 92 lbs! I'm proud to say that I've only got 23 lbs to go!

    Congratulations and Good Luck! Keep up the awesome work!

    Hmmm! Is Michigan the only state that DOES NOT put your weight on it!?! Mine doesn't at least. THANK YOU MICHIGAN! Maybe it's because we are one of the fattest states, lol.

    Congrats to all you honest weight license bearers! =)

    This is funny...I had to check mine too! Woowww..oooppsss! Mine is way off but I'm in the process of changing that! I doubt that I will ever be 130 again (that was my weight before having my first of 3 children) but I'm shooting for 145! Holy crap...I don't think they've ever even asked me about it so it's just stayed there! LOL

    CT driver's license doesn't list weight, so I can't play. :(

    mine says 120 but I weigh around 110. my old drivers license said 120 though too but I probably weighed about 160 lol.. but when I renewed my license in 2009 I was 123

    Congrats! I remember how excited I was when I realized I weighed the same as my DL... I think I've always underestimated my weight on it by a bit (or more than a bit :blushing: ) even when I got my DL initially as a teenager. I now weigh about 15 lbs less than my DL weight!

    The last time I renewed my license, I fessed up and changed my weight to what it actually was. Now my license says I'm 27 pounds heavier than what I really am. :tongue:

    Ha, me too! I said I was 125 then and I was 160, lol. Of course it says 180 now... lmao. My actual goal is to need to lower the weight on my DL. We'll see. : )

    i like not having the weight on my license, for sure! i think its silly. people fluctuate. do cops REALLY reference the weight? i mean, really? it'd be like having HAIR color on there. people dye their hair. people gain and lose weight. i'd say height and eye color are the only relevant things on there, really. :bigsmile:

    OK, I wanna play. I got mine last spring because I had a name change (got remarried). So the test was whether I lied or not then :smile:
    I think I lied, cause I am 3lbs over it now, but it wasn't a huge lie like I think i had on my previous license.

    I don't ever remember putting my weight down on my DL, so I went and looked. I 'm not a liar eaither. NH doesn't put the weight on your license. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :tongue:

    Mine says I'm 160 - and has said that since I was 16 too. I'm 11 lbs away from that weight, but at my largest I was 90 lbs away. One of my many awards when reaching my goal weight is to PURPOSEFULLY go and update my license with my new weight.

    Hey, in Florida, the DL does not have it either! I just pulled mine out because I know it would be TOTALLY wrong. I got it before I got married and had 3 kids! Whoa!!! but at least it's not there saying nanny nanny boo boo!!! ;)

    Congrats!~

    My license doesn't have a weight on it, TX. but my work badge does, I'm 5lbs off from it. Sad thing is 2yrs ago I told them I weighted more because the doors to got in had weight sensors and I didn't want my backpack to set it off.

    As far as I know, California doesn't even have an option to update your weight when renewing your license through the mail. Mine still shows my weight and picture from 1996.

    They must have gotten tired of Texans lying, because we dont have the weight posted on the newer DL's. ha ha. GUILTY!!!
