I don't have to LIE anymore!



Recommended Posts

I've been driving for 40 years and not once have I changed it since I was 15. They ask me.. Is the weight the same? I just say, yes. There's no way my license could ever keep up with my yoyo'ing weight loss/gain

I was mortified when I moved to CA from MA over 10 years ago and learned about the weight on the drivers license thing! I lied back then and it was only about a 20 pound lie... now, my initial goal weight is what is on my drivers license!

Funny story I got pulled over and the cop asked.. well how much do you weigh? because clearly you don't weigh 280 lbs he handed me my license told me to have a new picture taken and let me off with a warning.. NSV for sure

Awesome!

So I may have to get a new passport to go to Mexico for my surgery. I'm gonna check because it expires in Dec. I sure don't want to have a picture today that will be irrelevant for the next 10 years.

Your ticker says your high weight was 287? So not entirely truthful' date=' though I can't imagine going to get a new license due to weight going up? Might be nice to get a new one someday for a lower weight, though.[/quote']

I got this license on 12/03/2011 and I was 260. Due to 2 partially torn achilles tendons I was up to 287 by late summer 2012. And it will be wonderful when I renew. :)

I wonder if you gain weight after getting your license, if you are supposed to inform them of the gain? I mean that would be the "honest" thing to do :P

Yes, if you have any significant gain or loss you are legally required to update your license.

So all my life I have lied on my drivers license about my weight. Yesterday I was looking at my license and it hit me BAM I'm under the weight on the license! WOW its a first ever! ~~~happy dance~~~

Also don't judge me because I lied.. I'm sure I'm NOT the only one who lies on their license ;-)

Guilty! !!!! And I make sure to take a great picture just so noone focuses on the weight part! At least I hope!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
