And when I got my driver's license I was only lying by 10 pounds at the time. When I started FatSecret, I was 22 pounds heavier than my drivers license weight. Driver's license weight: 185 Current weight: 190 FS starting weight: 207 Does anyone else wanna fess up? And what do I do when I'm lower than my DL weight? I just got it renewed in April and it's good for 4 years. Oh, when I lose my weight and get to goal, I'm also "losing" my driver's license and getting a new one...(and I'll probably lie about my weight again.) ============================================ 155: After regaining 16 pounds. It's my goal again. 155: Goal Weight \| March 17, 2012!!!! I did it! Size 8: levi's jeans \| February 3, 2012 (Actually, I'm a size 6. I skipped 168: BMI 24.8 no longer overweight \| December 1, 2011 174: Vegas vacation \| September 15, 2011 (two weeks early) 180: first 27 pounds gone \| August 25, 2011 186: 10% body weight lost \| July 14, 2011 199: 200's gone forever \| May 12, 2011 207: Starting Weight \| April 28, 2011

I was just thinking the other day that my proudest moment will be when I get to go to the DMV and spend the $10 to get a driver's license that shows a weight below what's written there now, which is a big fat lie, literally and figuratively.

He was able to get my height off my DL but apparently guessed my weight. At the time I was about 120-125lbs. The officer 'guessed' 140. I was so mortified!!!

gnat824 Joined: Jul 10 Posts: 1,486	quote Posted: 14 Jul 2011, 11:09 I was so excited about this until I realized that there is no weight on my VA license. I think I'd be 20-30 lbs below it, depending on whether I updated it the last time I renewed it or not. - Natalie

starbird Joined: Apr 11 Posts: 31	quote Posted: 14 Jul 2011, 11:29 MY DL weight says 130. HAHA!! I think that is what I weighed when I was 16 and got my license!! I wonder if I could ever get back down to that!?!?!!? DL weight 130 Current weight 160 Goal weight (right now) 150 This might have remotivated me that lower is possible!!

lenakh Joined: Apr 11 Posts: 184	quote Posted: 14 Jul 2011, 11:54 Just checked my WA license - 125 lbs. I think I was only lying by ~5 pounds back then (4 years ago). The good thing is, even though I'm still 10 lbs over the license weight, I look and feel much better now than when I got it! ~Lena The first person who should be in love with you is yourself, no matter how imperfect.

This made me look at my DL and I saw that 4 years ago when I got it, I weighed 170 lbs. Now my current struggle doesn't seem nearly as bad current weight: 151 WW goal weight: 145 My goal weight: 140

For the first time ever I actually LIKE my DL picture, & it makes me happy to look at it because I now weigh even less than I did 3 months ago.
