  • So today I had to pull my drivers license out and I saw my horrible picture! It looks like it was taken by the Department of Corrections all i am missing is my inmate number!! (lol) I also noticed that I am due to have a new license made in August, my goal is too look less prisonerish and more diva-ish (i think i made those words up). My face looks really pudgey in this old picture. It's funny how you can find motivation in the oddist places!! Have a great weekend!
  • DL pics suck

    Here is mine when I weighed 330 pounds

  • Vermont lest you keep your old license so I have a before and an after license
  • I don't have an after license because well, just because I haven't gotten mine renewed but I have lots of after pics
  • I just would like to FINALLY tell the truth on the weight question. I've lied and said 165 since I was 16. LOL
  • My license is from TN (though I now live in NY) but anyway, they don't put weight on your license in TN(not where I lived anyway).
  • I live in OH. At one time I weighed close to 400 lbs. When I said 165 the little size 2 girl behind the counter just snickered. I just crepted away...
  • Awww *HUGS*


    Once when I had an out patient surgery, the nurse came in and asked for certain info, one being weight, for medication dosage I am thinking, and I said 105..I prolly was around 200 pounds at the time lol :|

    Aww...what a witch! The medial assistant at my doctor's office did something similar when she took my weight, I gave her the dirtiest look I could and she blushed. It took everything I could not to punch her!

    My license has said 125 since I was 16 and still does! I don't know why they still require it or let you self-report if nobody's is accurate. I'd like to put my actual weight on my next renewal. Hmmm...that could be a mini-motivator.

    Shhhhhhh!!!! Don't give them ideas. If DMV ever gets the budget they just might install scales right where you take your picture

    But I assume most cops quickly learn to mentally add a minimum of ten pounds whenever they see a woman's driver's license.

    haha....yep. mine has said I was 180 since I turned 17. I wasn't even 180 then, more like 210.
  • I was 285 when I lied through my teeth about being 260 for my last license. I got all excited a few months back when I realized it wasn't a lie anymore . . . and it's kinda cool that I'm under it now. I wonder if I'll be able to be truthful the next time I renew.
  • I lied when I got my license when I was 16, I was probably around 240 and told them 220. I'm edging closer to my weight being true on my lisence, which will be awesome!

    Its the picture for my work ID that blows my mind. Its a bad shot, but my face just looks so huge. Its odd that I actually looked like that.
  • One of my wake up calls that I needed to lose weight happened from my drivers license. I weighed about 150 in high school, lost weight afterwards, and by the time I was 21 I stayed between 127 and 135. It was very hard to maintain, but the picture on my license actually turned out good and I listed 135. Fast forward a few years and I found myself at 180. I have a South Dakota license but I was going to school in Colorado, so the bouncers looked extra at my ID all the time. One night a bouncer said "wow, you used to be hot! What happened?" I wanted to go home and crawl under the covers and eat a whole jar of peanut butter and marshmallows.

    My ID is up for renewal this November. My goal is to be able to say 135 and not lie, and hopefully rock that photo booth.
  • I've had the same license since I turned 16! I was heavy at 16 so in my picture, I'm a chub. Then I lost a lot of weight and nobody believed that it was my license. I actually had someone tell me, "This is not you." I said, "Yes, it is!" and he said, "No, it's not!" So I had to recite my address and birthday to him without looking. Now I'm even heavier now than I was then so I'm sure people still don't believe it's me!
