Not braggy at all, it's practical. Look at your passport also. I got stopped twice during a cruise because I do not look a thing like my passport picture anymore.

The entry officer had me pulled aside and re screened and eventually let on the ship.

The exit officer looked at me, looked at my passport and eyed me up and down. I was getting nervous until she said "Damn Girl!!!" Get yourself a new picture! " and then let me through after telling me good job:)

You look great!! Go get yourself a new pic! I think anything that makes us feel better about ourselves I am all for it!!

Here in AZ our licenses are good till I think we are 62. I will be 47 this year and plus the pic on my license is a pic of when I was a little lighter so I think I may wait till I am closer to goal. I know the weight listed on my drivers license is 199, I am almost there. LOL

Not braggy at all! Lol, I have intentionally been super careful with my license because I have a really great picture on it and if I have to get another one done, there is no way I will look as good as the old one. I had to get a different kind of license about a year ago and I look horrendous in the picture- if they let me go get a new one, I absolutely would!

I was at the airport last week flying to Vegas with my wife for our anniversary. The TSA agent looked at my license, then at me, then double checked my license, then back to me again and said, "Wow! You look great! Awesome work!" It was really nice to hear from someone completely removed from the whole process. The fact the she was a rather attractive member of the opposite sex didn't hurt either!

Wow, great transformation @@kimpossible67! Congratulations!!! Mine looks crazy too. It's funny because before surgery the weight on my license was off by 60 pounds. It's still off by 60 pounds, but in the other direction! LOL!!!

I had to make a copy of mine yesterday and was amazed at how fat I looked! My license expires in June and I'll definitely be taking a new pic. I have to give my license when I go to my kids school and there was a lady at the desk who is not the regular secretary. She kept looking at the license and looking at me. I could tell she wanted to ask me but she didn't.

Say what? 62??? I'm in Michigan, ours are renewed every 4 years. Mine only lists height but they ask for weight so it's in their records.

Good for you you're almost there!!!

The one thing that fascinated me the most is I have a mole on my neck. You can't see it in the license pic after I edited it. I can see it and it's almost down in the area of my collarbone. Now it's back up on my neck where it belongs lol. Funny the strange and random things we discover.

I was at the dr the other day. I cross my legs all the time cuz I CAN! I was told to uncross them while my bp was taken lol. I told her, "but it's just so entertaining that I can!!!"

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
