A silly Scale Victory!!
 

Okay. who has their real weight on their drivers license?? I know I didn't. For years, i had the wrong weight on my license because i always hoped i would get back down. Well, last year, i finally decided at 196 I could not keep getting away with 130. So, i did the horrible....i lied again and put 170; :o

But my silly scale victory is......now i have gone below the lie on my license. This week i have been weighing in at .....169!!!

Do you know what that means??? Time to go to the dreaded DMV and renew my license with a new lie on it. I am thinking of going with 150!!! ;)

Anyways....does anyone else lie on their drivers license???

LOL....what the heck -- go with 140!!!!!

I am *so* glad North Carolina doesn't require you to put your weight. Otherwise I'd be right with you, 140 here I come! :lol:

I gave up one year and actually told them my current weight at the time. But then I ended up gaining more weight! I've been below that weight for about 2 months now. Now on my military ID card my weight is off by about 38 lbs! It says I weigh 140. My goal is to get down to that weight before it expires in October this year. I'm sure I can make it. The funny thing is that in the 6 years that I've had it, I've never weighed that little.

LOL that is so funny!
First I wanna say CONGRATS!
Second, if it works then lie your little butt off!
And yes I also have mu OLD OLD OLD weight on mine also.

Lol, I renewed my license last month and it still has 155 on it which it has had even when I was in 230's. I wanted to put 145 on it, but didn't change it. Today, I am 154 (haven't changed ticker yet, but will tonite). My husband has been a state trooper for 20 years and said "I pull women over all the time that license says 125 and I know they weigh at least twice that". I actually left mine at 118, my high school weight for at least 10 extra years.

Funny that you bring this up... I actually pulled out my license a few days ago because I was curious about what weight I had listed. Turns out that my state apparently quit putting that info on the card when they went to the new format, and I never noticed... I've renewed online for the past coupla times and haven't been in the office since I got married nearly 7 years ago.

I guess they figured everyone fudges it anyway, so what's the point? :lol:

Anyway, congrats on getting under 170!

-Lala

ROFLMAO!!!! i'm glad i am not the only one who does that!!! too funny!!! maybe when i do go back to renew my license i will be able to put 120 on it. that would be very cool. i haven't been 120.....well, i don't think i was ever 120. I went from 100 pounds in senior year, to 130. and up and beyond as the years went on. thank goodness...i am going down now!!!:D

Good for you, girl! Btw, you are looking fantastic!

I had 170 on mine with NO shame- even at 210. In fact, I STILL have it (that's how much I dread the DMV!). It was kind of funny, but I was at a bar on Friday and the bartender was returning my license and credit card when I closed out and he said "Boy, you look much better than 170 now." I had to point out that certainly wasn't what 170 looks like. Men are so clueless sometimes...

hehehehe I don't know when my license weight was actually the truth. For years I was well above what it said (195) and now I'm almost 60 lbs below it.

I'm excited to renew in September and update it. It will also be nice to get rid of the picture of me which was taken at my high weight. I'm surprised that people accept it as ID these days. In fact, I could just renew online, but I'm making a point to go down there just to get a new picture :lol:

I have an NC drivers license and there is no weight on there. I would lie and say 140 because thats the weight I get "guessed" alot. We are women.. two things we can lie about and get away with.. our age and our weight!! :lol:

Well, I can't recall if the weight is listed on my license. My license victory is that I recently lost it and had to have it replaced so now my picture is of a skinnier me.

Congrats on 170 lumi-You are doing terrific!!!!

I lie on my license all the time. Last time when I was really at about 245 I told them I was 199. The clerk raised an eyebrow and said, "are you sure you don't want to put 200?" I can't wait to go back when I reach 199 and set my new lie to 150, :D .

WHAT A :censored: OMG!!! I would have went shell. Of course Im a red head and I would have had something smart to say.. like are you sure you dont want to apply for a handicap sticker because in about 5 secs you might need one. :lol:

Congrats, Lumifan! That's got to be an amazing feeling. I am excited that I just reached 196, I can't even imagine 169! Good for you!

As for lying on my driver's license, my current license was my first opportunity. I wish i'd lied! I actually put my current weight, and every time I have to show it to someone, I feel like they're laughing at me in their mind. :)

:lol3:

Mine says 160, it occurred to me recently that 160 is less than a 15 lb lie now. I hate the DMV enough that I'll keep it till it expires in 2010 no matter what I weigh.

lol @ Shananigans.
I put 130 when I was probably 150. The guy's expression was like "yeah, whatever". It expires this summer, and I have been anxious to change that picture for YEARS now. I hate having to show it to anyone, it is one of the grossest pictures of me I have ever seen. It was awful when I went to go get it, too... the guy pulled up my record and saw an old pic of me when I was like 120, and said with surprise "Wow, this picture is REALLY good" - as opposed to what he saw standing in front of him. Ack.

I would love to take a pretty picture again. I just hope hope hope I look different enough by the time I have to go do that this summer!

This is a funny thread. Now that I'm at 154, I am pi@@ed that my license says 155. Hey, I worked hard to lose that other pound. LOL, When I get to my goal, I'm gonna say I lost my license and go get a new one that says 135.

Ohhhhhh this is terrible! :) But last week I went to change my address on my license, I thought they would just put a sticker on it but they took my picture all over again and made a new license. The guy asked if my weight was approximately the same and.. I admit... without missing a heartbeat I said "yes." The license says 245... which is about 23 pounds less than what I actually weigh. :) Sheesh THAT is bad enough! It does expire next May so I am hoping... no PLANNING... by then to have to have them LOWER it considerably!

Bad part is my old license had a really good picture... this new one is crappy LOL

And LOL Lumi... yah you gotta keep the lie close enough so they don't question you TOO closely. :)

Oh that's okay.. you don't have to... just 150 or so should be close enough!! :)

This thread is hysterical... thanks for the laughs :rofl:

LOL maybe THIS is where they get the "statistics" that say obesity is leveling off in women (reference the other thread). :rofl: Hey we gotta do what we gotta do!!

I only have my permit, but i was dumb enough to put my real weight. My mom was like, "Most people lie on their driver's license." haha SO Now if my friends want to see my permit, i lie and tell them its at home (even though i take it everywhere) Next time, I'll be more inventive
