    I give my correct weight for my driver's license, but no, I'm not the same scale weight that's on my license. I weigh less. I will weight to change my information, when it's time to get my new license.

    I was 201 when I got my license and said 170. Now I'm about 140.

    ^ This. I initially lied about my weight. Now I weigh less than what it says on my license. This makes me happy!! :bigsmile:

    And just to give it perspective...

    Currently, my license says 250. I was at 290 when I renewed it. I had already lost 20 lbs then. Now I am 235!! :wink:

    standing at the counter the lady looks at me after verifying my ht and eye color and
    says, "I'll just keep the same weight for you dear" ... I was already giving her the look :huh:

    At this exact moment, I weigh what my license says, but that was after a 35 pound loss :P

    No, my wt isn't listed on my drivers license. (Tx.) If it was then it would be a lie! :tongue:

    I think mine says 145, which I prefer to think of as "optimistic" rather than "liar liar pants on fire." I was very fit and probably quite close to that when I got this license, but it is no longer accurate. I keep thinking it's right around the corner.

    When I received my license I was 16 years old. I lied and said I weighed 150, I was somewhere in my 160's.....

    I am now 38 years old, I had NEVER changed my drivers license! ( Highest weight 220ish)

    I am happy to say I NOW weigh only 4 pounds more than my license says! woo hoo!!

    154! Yeah!

    Cheers,

    Em

    Only one state I've lived in has made me put my weight (utah) and I lied a pretty big lie.. I said I was 198 when I was really 230 at the time. I was so worried that they were going to question it and make me step on a scale to prove it!

    If I had to put my weight on a license now, I'd put 298 instead of 316. It would still be believable but I wouldn't have to admit to being over 300.

    I am 4.6 pounds away from the weight I lied about on my license. I was at least 45 pounds heavier. I can't wait.

    Update--I now weigh 2.5 less than my license says. I have NEVER weighed less than what my license said. NEVER! Thank you MFP!

    OMG, I can't believe you have to put your weight on your driving license. I'm suddenly grateful about being British, lol!

    Mine says 145, pretty close I am between 153-150 right now..(depending on the day)

    A British licence can last up to 53 years. So a weight value would be unreliable.
