I don't have to LIE anymore!

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 ;-)

I can totally relate!

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.

I'm glad in Australia we don't have height or weight or any other information really on our license.

I would probably lie too though hahah

Well now I'm thinking about the fact that I match my weight.... But now I'm stuck with my big fat puffer face on it still :P

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