    Mine says the weight I weighed the last time I had it renewed, when I turned 21 (8 years ago), which is actually 5lbs above my goal weight, so hopefully when I have to get it renewed next year it will be right or I will be able to have them lower it :smile:

    Glad I live in PA -- we don't have to put our weight on our licenses!

    Don't have it here in NC either!

    I don't know how many years I had it that weight but mine said 250 and I weighed 350 just a few months ago. I'm hoping to make it accurate by January when it is renewed.

    My current driver's license weight is 136. I WAS 136 when I wrote that weight down--I even updated it from the 127 my first license was after I had to replace it when it got stolen with my whole purse.

    Currently I'm 41 pounds more than that. Hopefully I'll be back down to 136 in a few months. And then back to my goal weight of 127.

    Funny, one time I was having surgery and the anesthesiologist came in to chat before. He asked "so, how much do you say you weigh today?". I laughed. He said "yeah well we have to add 10%. to whatever you say".

    Hahaha dancers joke all the time about the difference between your "real weight" and your "resume weight". My resume needs to be updated (I haven't used it in about a year because I'm actually in a company), but it was about 15 pounds off the last time I used it. Most tall girls (like me!) lie a lot because there are a number of companies out there that have weight limits (ie, all females can't weigh more than 125 pounds). When I was an inch and a half shorter and at my most anorexic I was 125 pounds - no way I'm going back there again, but I'll write it on my resume if it will get me a job!

    My license says 145 which was accurate at the time, but now I'm 34 lbs heavier and my goal weight isn't even that low! Granted, at my goal weight I'll be more muscle and should be the same size as when I weighed 135. But, when I renew it, I now live in Michigan and they don't require it.

    Mine wasn't accurate because when I got it renewed 6 years ago, I was 9 months pregnant (about to go into the hospital, actually)! It says 165 lbs, but I was 215 in my picture. So I've got a double/triple chin thing going on from being all bloated from the pregnancy and then it says 165. I don't look like my picture anymore (thankfully) but I'm still higher than 165. Funny enough, that's my current first goal. haha

    Mine says 185...I am at 230. I was 200 when I had them done...so hopefully I will be at goal when I have to get them renewed in 2013!

    Isn't that a great question!

    Mine reads 245 and it was BS when I gave that number — I was about 10 pounds heavier!

    Different story now!

    Mine says 150 lbs and it was accurate when I got it. Then it became inaccurate because I went up to 160 lbs and stayed like that for a couple of months. Now I'm 123 lbs (with a couple more pounds to lose) so it's inaccurate again but I can't renew it for two more years.

    Mine says 150. I was about 25 pounds more when I got it renewed a several years ago, but I thought I could pass. It was 75 pounds off at my heaviest before MFP. I figured I would need to be more honest when I get it renewed in about a year and a half, but who knows...maybe it won't need to change!

    My ID when it was issued last year said 260 but I was over 280 at the time. About 4 days ago I went in to get my permit and put it at the (now) correct weight of 243! I should have put 160 which is my goal weight but I am proud of my 243 currently!

    Mine says 180. It was a lie, was well over 200 when it was issued.

    It is still a lie - I'm now 160 :-)

    Mine reads 220. I exceeded it by as much as 70 lbs. I now weigh 26 lbs less at 194.

    my DL weight says 180, and that's what I weighed back in '05 when I first got it.... That was my weight after two kids and the next time I renew my license i want to be able to put down 160 since that is my goal weight :)

    Mine says 250 >.> So I "estimated" a little (a lot) on the low side, but the point is that I will be there soon!

    I just moved so I had to update my address. I put my correct weight at the time (280). However, I have lost more than 30 pounds since then and I will have to renew it in October for my 30th birthday and I plan on definitely being close to my goal weight. I should be close to getting into the 190s right around then so I can't wait to take a new picture then.
