Talking Whats the difference in your actual weight and your Drivers License weight??

I am just curious what the difference in your "actual" weight and your "Drivers License" weight....

When I got my license 2 years ago, I was 15-20lbs heavier than I reported...now I am only 5lbs off. So whats yours???

Oh I'm not sure how much I really weighed last year when I got my Iowa license but I know I haven't put on 60 pounds in the past year so there's definetly a big gap there. In Iowa we only renew licenses every 5 years so it'll be interesting to see what number actually goes on there in 4 years.

It's funny you should ask this. I am getting ready to my license renewed this week. My license says that I weigh 230 but I actually weigh in at 210 now. It's off by 20 lbs. So it will be a nice change to see something different.

Well, mine is a major lie. When I got it, there was probably about a 50 or 60 pound difference. Right now there's a 65 pound difference. At one point, when I weighed 240, there was a 90 pound difference. Eeek!

Mine is 10.8 pounds off...actually my license plate weight is my goal weight, so 10.8 more pounds and I will be an honest driver

I just got mine renewed and I told the truth That was a week ago and it's already 6 pounds off in MY favor I decided to reward myself with a replacement license and picture once I lose all the weight, which will certainly be before the renewal date (5 years from now).

Well, I haven't actually gotten my purse out and looked, but I'm pretty sure that with a NYS drivers license, you don't have your weight on it. But, the thing that's wrong on mine is that my dad filled out my application when I was 16 an he'd always called me his blue-eyed blonde and...well...my eyes turned green sometime during my pre-teens, but he filled in the eye color as blue and I've always left it that way because my dad filled it in that way and it's like my dad's little stamp on my driver's license.

I'm actually debating on whether I want to tell the truth when I get it renewed now. I am thinking of making it off by 20 lbs. Give me something to shoot for. Here in Vermont you can get a 2 or 4 year license. So I guess in 2 years I can change it.

I am currently 10 pounds heavier than my driver's license weight, which was accurate when I renewed it. I am trying to be back at 135 in time for my birthday (Jan. 4th).

Default Too funny!

This would be funny to see as a poll!

My weight is 70 pounds higher than what my license says. I've always lied about my weight on them, even when I wasn't overweight, because I'm 5'11" and built like Cartman on South Park (large boned), and when I told people my actual weight they would always *gasp*. For instance, my "ideal weight" according to most sources should be 140-165, but in truth, that would be way too thin. I've looked stunning at 170-180, but that sounded "fat" to me when I was sixteen and filling out drivers-license paperwork.

Great thread...CA has 10 year licenses...mine says 200 lbs. Funny thing is - I think I prolly lied by about 50 lbs at the time 'cause I weighed around 250 at the time.
