    License weight started at 15 lbs under my real weight.
    When I got it renewed last week, I kept it the same...but it's only 2lbs difference now :0)
    Hopefully real weight will be under the license weight soon!

    Then: I left the spot blank back in high school, so my teacher put 140, boy was I happy lol I didn't have a scale at the time so I had no idea, but as a typical teen, I felt HUGE when I really wasn't.. It remained that way until my last renewal (I didn't get my license til I was 19 or 20 bc I never needed it lol

    Now: its at my goal weight 165 lol... even tho I'm 54 pounds over that atm. I figure if I can have 140 for years, I can be a LITTLE more honest right???

    lol :bigsmile:

    Is my state (PA) the only weird one that doesn't have weight on there? haha

    Nope, MA doesn't either.

    Lol....good question! Many moons ago the 145lbs was accurate. I felt it would be such an inconvienence to have it changed. :wink: Now I am 11 pounds away from that being accurate. :laugh:

    Oh that's motivating! I never thought of that. :) Mine is accurate for 8th grade...considering I"m 33, that's a bit off. BUT, it's very close to my goal! Or..at least I thought it was; I just checked and it's no longer printed on the card! Wonder when that happened? Anyway, it's 55 lb away, which feels very doable!

    WOW, I just checked mine. I guess I was "honest" three years ago when I renewed it, because I am now 88 pounds under my stated weight! I still have a year left before renewing it, so I should definitely be at my goal weight and that would be exactly half of what is on the license currently. Woo Woo

    My goal isn't even that low (120)....... was younger & with more time to put in LONG workout hours!
    Guess I need to change it to 140 my for-reals goal :)

    Mine says 140, which I was about three years ago when I renewed it. I'm about 134 (gained 7 in the last year) now...so it's not too far off. I'd rather be 125 though :)

    I always put mine at 10-20 lbs under my weight, but now I am 3 pounds under the weight on mine! YAY! :D

    I weigh 66 pounds more than what it says, which was probably just a low guess and it probably was at least 20-40lbs higher than that, but before I started losing there was a 123lb difference.

    Thank you for the reminder. I am 25lbs lighter than my DL. But, I sure the Heck am not getting in line to change it. The stress eating alone would put me back over!

    After losing 45 pounds, I finally match my drivers license weight! In another 20 pounds or so I am getting a new one, and probably won't even lie about my weight on it :smile:

    I'll be honest my drivers license is about 30lbs lighter than I am. But I did get the drivers license when I was 18 and at the time it was the right weight. Although when i got married and changed my name I kept all the same info besides my last name lol

    Mine is way off. It was right when I got it. But when I renewed I don't remember having to say what it was then.

    I am 15 lbs from my drivers license weight, which is freaky considering I took the photo / weight when I was 16.
