Is it bad that I want to "lose" my drivers licence so I can take a picture 90 lbs lighter?

Well if it's supposed to *look* like you, and you no longer look like the person in your driver's licence photo, it's your civic duty to update the picture!

That's the best excuse I can come up with :D

I am totally planning on getting a new license when I am done losing the weight. I hate my picture.

yes it is bad, don't lose your license, get a picture now and then a new one when you drop more weight.

Wunderlust76. . . it would be a really good idea to keep it because it's a constant reminder of where you came from. Plus the comments are cool too. I never changed mine and am glad i didn't. . . love to hear the comments and the reminder of how i DONT ever want to look like again!

People that ask to see your license do not even look at the pics. They are looking for name and address to match. So disillusioning. I would dread going to the DMV to get a new license. Such a hassle. You look awesome and you know. So keep it up. ;)

California DMV is cheap. they renewed my license and refused to take a new picture a few years ago. Now I will go back in and say that they refused my credit card because the picture no longer looks like me. We'll see how THAT flies.

Just go get a new one. You'll have to pay for it but just do it. No biggie.

It happened to me once, someone said "That's not you.". Uh, yes...... But I was about 20kg heavier than in the photo..... Embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure that if you go in wanting to give the DMV money, they'll take your picture and renew you license as often as you want to pay for it.

I say go do it....and enjoy! Oh, and when they ask you why.....BRAG ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS!!

Congrats!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
