NSV - Drivers License weight



Recommended Posts

I checked my drivers license weight and I am now only 4 lbs heavier than what it says! I think this kind of qualifies as a "non-scale victory". ;)

How does everyone else stack up to their drivers license?

I said 170lbs on my license. I was probably easily 200lbs+ Today I'm wayyy under that weight. Exciting!

Mine says 260 and at the time I think I was at about 300. Now I'm 225. I want a new picture on my license. Doesn't look like me anymore.

Mine said 260 when I was 290. Now I'm 30 lbs under it-- whee!

I have no intention of changing it for a while though. Ugh, the DMV lines around here mean I'll just live with it.

Florida doesn't have a weight section. But, I agree that I need my drivers license changed as it doen't look a bit like me. Also, my Visa has my picture and it looks like someone else entirely. I had glasses( since then had laser surgery), lost about 100 lbs, and cut my hair. I have had store clerks do a double take on both the Visa and drivers license. Karen (kll724)

That is why I love PA! There is no weight on our drivers licenses. ;)

I was actually honest about my weight on my DL this time around, as I have no intention of ever being that heavy again. Haven't had surgery yet, but can't wait until the day I have to get a new one for just that reason!

Congratulations! They don't ask for weight on our driver's license. Makes sense since everybody lies anyway. Kind of like putting your eye and hair color. It's so easy to change both, why bother?

Wow I've actuaLly never heard of weight being listed on a DL. What states ask for this (because I want to make sure I never move to any of them lol)?

Wow. I am so thankful that I don't have to put my weight on my driver's license LOL.

That would be so embarassing.

I'm in Washington state, but when I lived in California they had weight listed on their license too.

I had to get mine out and look at it. It says 170 lbs from 2 years ago (when I was probably 270 at the time). The people that work at the BMV must roll their eyes and laugh every day at their job looking at those lies. Now I'm around 146-147 with 2 years to go before renewal. Boy do I need a new picture!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
