Ok so had to get my drivers license renewed today and was like wow I'm finally close to the weight I have on the license. So got the photo taken and when I got home realized they screwed up my weight!! I wrote on the form 155 and on my license is 558 lbs!! And the guy taking the photo said lean against the wall. Then said 1. 2. 3. Smile!! I have this huge grin on my face. It is too funny!!!

WOW! They were way off with your weight! Are you gouing to get it corrected? I was just thinking the other day that I have not weighed less than the number on my license in a very long time. It currently says 175.
Mine was 150 forever even though I was usually at 160 to 180! I put down 155 and somehow they got 558 out of that!! I don't know about your DMV but it is a zoo always! My photo is hilarious. I have this huge fake smile. Look like a checky chipmunk. Haha. I selected I'm a donor also and they didn't put that on there. Guess I need to go back
All this drivers license talk made me pull mine out. I don't even have a weight on there at all. Bigdog I would go back for the donor thing for sure.
I think Jen's stomach issue jumped a few states and found me. Luckily it got a little weaker as it jumped. I felt very crampy and ugh last night but never did get sick. I very glad about that. I HATE throwing up! I'm some better today but still not 100%.

Yikes! Sorry!!! I'm at about 90% today (75% yesterday). Hopefully in a day or two this will be all over. What a nightmare this has been!
Speaking of nightmares...weight on a driver's license?! Thank goodness they don't do that in Florida.
My drivers licesne said 145 pounds for years. I changed my name last year and when I went to get my new license I told the guy all the info was correct except for the last name.....he said "really? the weight on here is correct?" Talk about embarrassing! that is when i fessed up to 175
When I went to WI yesterday, I was ASTOUNDED to see I was the "Client of the Week". I was initially thrilled of course; but now the guilt sets in. You see my sister who was diagnosed in February of last year with breast cancer, told me on Monday that the cancer is back, and this time in her lung. MAJOR breakdown for me, and I started secretly eating everything in site.
Client of the Week? Who am I kidding?? Loosing weight should be so easy compared to what she's going through, and I can't even stay on plan. She is a brave lady, and so strong. She's my hero.
Forgive me. I just need to SCREAM right now, and I can't.
Hopped on the wii fit this morning, and down 3 more pounds this week (I was up a pound last week, so technically it is only 2, but I will take it!).
I am so glad it is Friday, we have to hit the gym again tonight, and hope it does not hit back. My boobs are still sore from the chest press on Wednesday. But hopefully this will help them perk up some. You ladies who are larger on top know what I mean. Next week, is gonna be nuts, so I am glad I have a few days to recover.
YNapier - Sorry you're sick. No fun. Jen - glad you're better... you're on your way!
Sots Mom- I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. Cancer stinks... big time. And, I think you deserve Client of the Week - we're all human. We make mistakes but we're recognizing the weaknesses and moving on. I would think you're sister would be proud of you, as we are all. And, with you taking control of your health, I think you're more able to be there for her and stuff, you know? You guys are in my prayers... big hugs to you.
Galadreal - Go you! Chestpress and all... I'd never thought about that - but I do need to work on my check muscles... I'm a bigger up top gal. These things are a pain when working out and, now that I've lost the weight, they are a bit sad and... down-turned. heehee
Well, ladies, I weighed in yesterday and... I LOST 75.5 POUNDS! Yippee! Whoot! Whoop-whoop! Whew,... thought that last .5 pounds was going to KILL me to get it off. I'm super excited and happy... I'd like to lose another 5 pounds to get in my cushion area, but we'll see... They have me starting stabilization next week. I'm nervous but ready to see where this goes...
Sots mom, oh that is such tough news. I am so sorry. You are likely going to have a lot of difficult days as you support your sister and your family through this. Several of us on this board have dealt with similar situations and I hope you will reach out frequently.
I got curious about my drivers license weight too, I am only 60 lbs heavier that what it says! Hah .Guess I could set one of my long term goals to make it to my license weight. But in the mean time I must think very short term, so getting under 250 will be my next milestone.....5.5 pound to go to make that.
I have enjoyed reading all the exercise posts, Now I need to decide what direction i will go when i add exercise to my program. Possibly join the local Y. I wish Netflix had exercise videos.
Galadeal- good luck on your work out, you reminded me that daughter has Wii with some dance dance games that would be a fun way to exercise, or may pick up the Wii fit. That may solve part of my decision about adding exercising.
Sots Mom- sorry to read about sister.
Time to drink water, it is not natural for me to drink so much water and have to actively keep reminding myself to get 100ml or so in a day. So girls, go get your water bottles filled up! : )
Just catching up on everyone before I weigh in at the center in a couple hours. My scales are showing good news, but sometimes don't jive with theirs, so I will refrain from any jubilation for now. I'll be asking for bodyfat today- I want to get under 32. I wish there was a formula to know how many pounds that would be. I haven't been so great with water lately, and I don't know whAt that might do either.
Regardless, I feel proud of myself this past week. House guests and many more social meals than usual, but I tried to plan around them. Like, if I knew we were having people for dinner, I had a meal shake for lunch. If I knew I would want wine, I skipped the fruit and carbs earlier in the day. Etc. I doubt that those trade offs were exact, but at least I stayed conscious of what I was eating and tried to make choices. Last night we ate out and 4 people shared one dessert. That seemed safe.
I have also been much more motivated regarding exercise lately. I have written this before, I know, but I have been reading about how important it is to not lose muscle. I want muscles!
Speaking of, it is time to go off to the center then work out. Will post my progress later.
Good morning everyone - I did MRC a couple of years ago and did quite well. I let life get in the way and gained most of my loss back.
Istarted back on the program a few weeks ago and have been struggling. Then I remembered this board. I've been reading through the posts and it is so motivating to see how we all have similar challenges - from spouses who lose by getting up in the morning to the dreaded cancer.
Well - I'm back and plan on visiting with you all on a regular basis. I hope that I will be able to add an occasional bit of wisdom as I know I will learn from each and everyone of you!
I have 40 pounds to lose and look forward to sharing this journey with all of you fabulous losers!
Renewal of drivers license
Thank goodness they don't do that in Florida.
