    I've never lived in a state that put your weight on your driver's license. Either NY and CT are states where people yo-yo a lot, or they are states that realize that weight isn't as permanent as height or eye color.

    Lucky for me I'm in FL and we don't have to put our weight on our DL.

    Originally it was 60lbs lighter than what I was, but now I am only 30 pounds away from reaching the weight I lied about and I just renewed my liscense. Hoping to be way under by the time I have to get it re-done!

    I have to renew mine tomorrow. I've been debating on what weight to put on it. I keep thinking I want to put a much lower weight because I KNOW I will get down to that weight at some point. Yet, part of me just wants to be truthful so I can look back at it and realize how far I've come. I'm still not sure what I want to do.

    At the time, I was about 20-25 lb over. Now I am 5 lb over.

    I am 40lbs heavier than my current one. I got mine renewed at my very lightest weight about 4 years ago and haven't bothered to change it :) One of my ex co-workers said hers was off by over 100+lbs...haha

    I'm slightly jealous that there are states that don't require your weight to be on your DL. Mine is about 10 pounds lighter than I am right now. I haven't changed it in about 10 years, and now I'm at least closer to it than I used to be. I was at one point about 40 pounds more than what it said, so hooray for being within spitting distance of my DL weight! :bigsmile:

    Mine is off by about 60 pounds now. I "underestimated" when I got my license (you know how that goes for women). Then I actually lost weight.
    My license says 180 when I was really about 210. Now I'm 125. :) I look NOTHING like my pic.

    I got my license when I was 8 months pregnant with my second child seven years ago. I used my pre-pregnancy weight on it. Now that I look at it I am 20 heavier than what it says. Sounds like I have a goal to reach!!!

    In Texas they don't display your weight on your driver's license, however they do ask you for it when you're filling out the paperwork. Last time I filled out anything about my weight for it was when I was 16 and getting my license for the first time. Since then I have renewed it but I don't recall being asked for weight. I can guess I put down 160s?? I don't even know now. I do know that the weight that's associated with my DL is inaccurate now considering this is the lightest I've ever been. Yay for that!

    It's never been right, but for the first time in my life it actually says I weigh 6 pounds MORE than I actually do! I can't wait for it to expire so I can finally have my real weight proudly on display!

    I have to laugh at mine. I fudged on mine and said I was 190 when I was about 220. I'm now about 50 pounds under my false weight. :P
