The weight on your drivers license
 

So...what's the weight on your driver's license ? I think this thread already exists somewhere, but it's really old, and there's a lot of new people, so lets start fresh.

what's the number?
Were you really that weight when you reported it?

I'll start, mine's 190, and I was sooooooo happy about being 190 at that point that it's actually true. Your turn.

I think mine says 260. I never changed. I think its always said 260.

Mine says 270 but I probably weighed around 280, but I also probably didn't know the exact number.

I'm really happy to be 30+ pounds under that now. I'm due to get my license renewed next fall and I plan to be a much smaller number (probably around 170), AND I am DEFINITELY getting a new picture because the current one is horrifying.

Mine says 160. And yes, I was fudging at the time.

Mine (which I got when I was 285+ pounds) says 210. I'm now 25 pounds under that!

Mine says 135...I probably weighed about 160 at the time. I haven't changed it since I was 16!

I actually got carded for cigarettes (I know...bad!) a couple of years ago and the guy said "Your picture makes you look a lot thinner!" Jerk.

Mine says 170. From the time I actually got my license at 16 until I lost weight at 22, I don't think my weight was ever within 20 pounds of 170.

nixie- wow, that's harsh

I had to look.

Mine says 195. At the time my most recent photo was taken I was around 240, so obviously, not at all correct. :)

One of the things I'm planning on next year though, is getting a new license with my CORRECT weight and a new photo. It's amazing how different I look from my current one.

Thank God ours don't have our weight on it!! Wow!

It does seem kind of silly, doesn't it?

I've never had a cop/bouncer question my identity and you can definitely see a difference in my DL pic and how I look now, so I don't think the weight really matters. I would doubt that cops even look at the number in most cases. That, and a lot people lie anyway.

Heh. Yeah, it was. But, I handled it maturely: called him an a--hole, grabbed my money back from his hand, threw the cigs at him and stormed out! But, the joke was on me because then I had to drive to the next town to find an open store!

When I got mine in July, I weighed 244 but told them 200. I'm so psyched to be within a few pounds of my drivers license picture! (But my face is much leaner now than it was in the picture, obviously.)

Once I hit 140, I'm going to brave the DMV and needlessly get in line just to get a new picture and weight. It's my weight-loss reward that I'm most looking forward to.

Yeah we don't have to do that in Texas which I am quite grateful about. I remember one time I went to get a fishing license with a guy I had been dating for like 2 weeks. And right there in front of him, they asked me my weight - quite embarrassing!

My license doesn't have the weight listed, but they did ask me when I got it, and I was 165. Which means that I'm at the lowest I've ever been since I was 15!
