    I can't wait for that to happen to me.. i never lied about my weight, but they never asked me to update my weight (or any of those other fields) since I got my first lisence.. when I was 16 years old!!

    Needless to say, I am NOT 160 pounds... :laugh: YET!

    can't wait to actually hit that weight and go below it like you! Congratulations!!

    My last drivers license said "180 lbs"..... and I was lying by 5 lbs. It now says "135 lbs" and now I'm 2 lbs below that! It was such a great feeling to update my license with the new weight and a new skinny-face picture! Congrats!!!!

    I lied by 20 lbs on my drivers license - we get them for 5 years in NH, so it's a long-term fib. Haven't been below 200 in 15 years and I'm days away from that - but when I renew in the fall next year - it will say 150 and be the truth!!!! (Somehow writing that down makes me feel more accountable!)

    I just realized I haven't looked at the weight on my license in a long time (they always ask if any info has changed and I always say no), so I just looked at it. Almost laughed out loud at my desk!

    It's definitely about 60 pounds less than I actually weigh. I'm shocked the people at the DMV don't say anything! :P It's lower even than my GW, since I was underweight when I got the license as a teenager (5'10", a big frame, and 115lbs). At some point I should probably correct that. Maybe once I hit my GW. :P

    That's awesome, congratulations! How cool will that be to get your new license and tell them you need to change your weight?! Mine has said 160 since I first got it...still did when I really weighed 318. My goal is 160, and sometime next year I won't be a liar anymore, either! :smile:

    No one has ever asked me to update the info on my license since I got it in high school so mine still has my high school weight on it. That was a lot of lbs ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never think about it till they've made it and then I think, "Oh, they didn't ask me if I needed to change anything and they could tell I wasn't still 160!!!" :)

    My driver's license is about 30 pounds off. I'm gonna make it a goal to be under my driver's license weight!

    I lied on mine and it has renewed through mail-in for years. Now, I am almost 50 lbs lighter than my driver's license says!!! Hadn't even thought of that! Thanks! What a great day it is! lol

    I always use to lie too. I would say like 135lbs when I was really 150ish. It feels so good to have on their my real weight and not be ashamed about it.

    Eeek - there was a time my license was off by over 100 pounds but it's only about 50 now. I hope by my birthday next year to have it be right on, or maybe the license will be too high! :wink:

    Thankfully in the UK they don't ask for your weight. However my passport photo (taken when I was on high dose steriods and at my heaviest, now looks nothing like me.:bigsmile: Unfortunately I have to wait another 9 years before I need to renew.:cry: By then I won't look anything like the photo at all. I should literally be half the person I was before.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    When I would show my old license to get into certain places after I had lost the weight, People would look at it and say "This isn't you" haha Glad I have my new license now

    My UK driving licence is so old it doesn't even have a picture never mind a weight. However if it did I am almost back to what I was when I passed my driving test - AT 17!!

    Oh to be 17 again, but to know what I know now.................................

    I lied when I got my first Ohio state id and told them I weighed 60 lbs less than I really did. Between then and getting my new id last year I lost 100 lbs and found out I am an inch taller. When I got my new id last year I only corrected them on my height and didn't even think about the weight. :laugh: That inch is important!

    Just another way to tell if its the right person, just not very reliable... But then again how about hair colour, people change that all the time....

    Think she's from Australia like me... Here they don't put hair colour, eye colour, weight or anything on your license. You have a photo, d.o.b, address and special conditions (like glasses)
