Yesterday, I renewed my drivers license and, when he asked "How much would you like to weigh today?" I was able to tell him 20 pounds less than what was on my last license! (And yes, for those of you doing the math, that means I didn't fess up to the 20 EXTRA pounds the last time I was asked this question! :laugh: ) This time, I put my actual weight on my license! And, the picture was SO much better!! It's the little things... :happy:

    That sounds sweet but why do you put your weight on your ID?

    we don't have weights on licenses over here, don't need to give them that info at all.
    I guess in an emergency. it would help them to know how to treat you? ><

    we only have height and eye colour and any medical conditions.

    Some states require you to put your weight on your ID, some don't. They do in MN, and mine is WAY off! Lol :blushing:

    That is EXACTLY how he said it. He definitely held the oh so delightful attitude of a disgruntled long term DMV employee. I thought it was funny too! They must be so used to people lying about their weight!

    FL doesn't put weight on licenses but back when I lived in WI they had weight on licence. I didn't understand that cause they should know no one will tell what they weigh and usually it changes too :ohwell:

    I did that too when I renewed about 4 weeks ago. So now for the 1st time in my life, my license says I weigh MORE than I actually do!!

    They didn't even ask me the last time I renewed mine (thank god)..... but, it's actually good because I'm almost DOWN to the weight that is on my DL!!! YAY! I'm at 183.5 and my DL says 180 (which is what I weighed when I was 16 - the only time they've updated it!)

    Awesome!
    And I just realized I renewed my license only a month after I started my journey. My license has always said my actual weight only because I felt so guilty lying hahaha.
    Anyway, at the time of renewal, I had lost 10 lbs. I've now lost another 30! By the time it's time to renew again I'm not going to look anything like my picture!!!! lol

    I wish I could put my actual weight on mine. I would think if a cop ever pulled me over and looked at my weight he would know that I was totally lying by 50lbs. How horrible is that. Cant wait to be the weight of my drivers license.

    That is awesome!!! I was going to post that on mine too! My last military ID said 190 and she had us sign papers and take the picture until I pointed it out and asked if she was going to fix it. NO WAY was I going to leave it at that when I was in the 150's!! I was proud to put my weight this time! Doesn't it feel great!?! Congrats!
