    When I got a new license 5 years ago I said that I was 185 when I was really more like 225 (at least. :( )

    Now I'm about 12 or so pounds over that, I'm hoping to be under that by the time I renew!

    TX doesn't have weight listed on the license but we do have it on record at the DMV...I haven't changed my height or weight since
    I was 16.

    So it is still 5'2" and 160 lbs.


    ...we lied about my weight then I was actually more about 230 or 240...

    Now I'm 5'3" and 184.2 lbs. I'll go change it when I reach my goal weight, as a ceremony of sorts :)

    Thank you Lord that my weight is not on my drivers license. When I get to my goal I am going to want a new pic though.

    Mine DL weight is 7 lbs lower, which is 6 lbs lower than my current goal weight. I am not sure I want to get to that low of a weight... I weighed that 19 years ago. [my DL still has the same old picture too]

    Mine says the same weight I was when I was 16 and got my 1st licence - 245
    My picture is of me at 333
    I hang out in the 225 range now

    My state will not let you buy Claritin D without a prescription. I was in a neighboring state and needed some so I stopped by a drugstore and when they asked for my licence the girl wouldn't sell it to me on my licence until I showed her another photo id cause of the pic.

    oooh... good question! I left it at my highschool weight for a decade, then bumped it up 30 pounds and never changed it again... even though I really gained another 60 pounds! I renew in two years though and I am positive I will be back to my highschool weight! I was just looking at it yesterday thinking my pic is going to ROCK next time! :)

    Fortunately, our licenses don't list the weight. I do know the weight I gave them in 2001 or so was 240. I think I fibbed a bit when I gave them that weight because I was heavier. With that said, I'm down 60+ pounds since that time. WOOT! :happy:

    NY doesn't list weight on the license. I don't think I'll ever live in a state that requires it.

    I had it set at 180 for 9 years. When I got it renewed last year, I finally changed it to 225. That was still a lie, but it was a little more accurate. Proud to say that I'm just over a pound away from it being 100% truthful :D

    I got my license at 17, 9 years ago. It said 150 which was about 5 lbs below what really was. I've always kept the weight thesame, yet my pic In 2009 if me at my highest 225lbs. I'm now proud to say I'm now 9 lbs from my license weight again! Time for a new one!

    LOL- In North Carolina they don't even put WT anymore. Main reason everyone there is overweight and people would just lie. Same as height. I always say 5'7 but i think its a little shorter.
