Are you getting a new driver's license or work ID since losing weight or once you reach goal?

I read the Al Roker book and he said he keeps his old ID as a reminder of where he was. I'm not sure what I am going to do yet. How about you?

I went and got a new work ID today, my manager said no one would recognise me from the old one! I love my sleeve.

And how have I missed for a year that you are a fellow Texan???

Ironic cause I'm making plans now to move away from Texas forever. I need a change.

You just made me think of the weight on the card!

Ok even though I was upset when it took that picture it didn't stop me from lying about my weight!! Just looked sure enough' date=' it says 170!

Damn according to that license I've only lost 13 pounds :P

I'm screwed![/quote']

Your state requires you to list your weight on your lic?

Come on over to Chicago, spend one winter, and tell me you don't miss Texas. ;)

Oh, and my weight on my licence is my goal weight anyway. What a liar I am hahaha the DMV guy just stared blankly at me.

My rule is I don't complain about summers here because I can't stand being cold!!

You're winter isn't as long as our summer.....but frankly...it's not the weather that bothers me the most.

HECK YES!!! I'll be turning 21 somewhere in the middle of my weight loss journey. I don't hate my picture on my DL (it was taken a few years ago before I hit my highest weight) but when I'm flashing it at the clubs I'll want to look like my new self. :P

Yes sir, they sure do! It's right there on the front of my card which makes that picture a bit funny really :D

Can you opt out of providing your weight or is it a requirement? I would put down 20lbs less than the current weight to allow for additional loss. Or in other words, I would probably lie. I'm sure the DMV inspector expects everyone to lie and thinks who is this person kidding.

Lol yes it's an requirement.. And I shaved off a lot more that 20! :P

When I lose a bit more weight ill have to see if they will let me take a new one.

Thank goodness Texas doesn't require weight on the license. But when I was a kid my mom got pulled over and while the cop was asking her questions and writing the ticket, he asked her for her weight. When she later realized that information was no where on the ticket, she was pissed. She went to court and called that cop to the stand and read him the riot act. You had to know my mom....she was a cross between Courtney Love and Al Pacino....only less subtle. In the end the judge gave her a $50 fine and made the cop apologize.

Butter, your mom is my hero - that's awesome!

Can they stop you from taking a new picture based on weight alone? Seems like that borders on illegal. I'm sure you can't have a 400 person say they weigh 125, but gosh!
