Well, for the last couple months I'd been having serious problems convincing people my driver's license was really mine. I looked absolutely nothing like the picture on it anymore. I have to fly in a couple weeks so I thought I'd better get a new one before then for fear security wouldn't let me pass because my ID didn't even look like me.

So.. here is my old and new driver's license pics.

On left taken November 2011. On the right October 2012.

Almost 160 pounds lost

your gorgeous in both of them missy

we love you

What an excellent validation of your progress!

I had to renew my driver's license the month prior to my surgery, as my birth date was only 6 days after my surgery. I haven't had any difficulty convincing anyone it's still me, but look forward to getting a new licence and picture next year when we move.

Keep up the great work!

WOW! Just WOW!!!!

WOW what a difference Very nice, and a wonderful feeling I bet.

You are a classic beauty. Driver's licenses rarely look good and both of yours did!

Thanks all...it really is a great feeling.

Though one funny moment: I was picking up a prescription a couple weeks ago that was a controlled substance. I had to provide my ID to get it. The woman kept looking at my (old) license then me, and I finally said "I swear that's really me, I just changed a lot". She finally goes "I hope you lost all that weight on purpose, not because you're sick with cancer or something". ROFL!!!

LMAO!!!!

I had to renew my license this year so that pic is more like me... But I forgot about my passport and last week in the Caribbean I was stopped leaving the country.... The Jamaican immigration didn't think it was me. They hauled me off to a special room and after an hour I finally convinced them It was really me... Luckily I had my fairly new drivers license to back it up but My husband spent an hour worried to death....since he had to wait outside.

Beautiful and amazing!

Holy cow, that is EXACTLY what I was afraid of happening at the airport!
