I match my driver's license!



Recommended Posts

Ok, for some reason, this is cracking me up! It doesn't take much... lol. Today, I weighed myself and I weigh what it says I weigh on my driver's license! Where that number of 230 came from is beyond me! I obviously weighed that once, but don't remember when. It probably flew by on the way up to 250, 280, 300. But, I had to laugh because this is what I should look like at that weight. Too bad the photo is still me at my top weight! Clerks at stores stare at it and always comment on if it's really me! HAHA. Just a chuckle for you!

LOL! I hate that weight needs to be on there. I can understand the need, but really. It fluctuates so often and people lie about it anyway...why bother!

But, that's an awesome and quirky NSV! :thumbup:

Hah that's great. This made me pull out my own license and see what it says on it. I am 25 now and I know the weight on it hasn't been updated since I was 16 and I KNOW I lied on it at the time and was heavier than I put. It says I'm 186 lbs (well 86kgs cuz I live in Canada), that's funny! Gosh only knows when I was 186lbs, I was probably like 13. Hehe. If I ever get pulled over or whatever some cop would be like uhmmm what? Especially because the pic on there is from before I lost 50 lbs on weight watchers a few years ago and is definitely around my heaviest. I have to renew my license this year, wonder what weight I will tell them then.... heheheehe. Thanks for the giggle.

Congrats! I wish I could say the same. I had to renew mine last week and the girl asked me if my stats were still the same and of course I said yes kind of figuring I would be there soon enough, but the look the girl gave me was like YEA RIGHT!! Soon enough :lol:

This is funny. I renewed in January after having surgery in December. I really struggled about what to put for weight. There is no way that at over 200 they would buy my goal weight but I didn't want to put my current weight either. I finally think I settle on about 170 so about where I am now. There's no way I'm stopping there though so I may have to say I lost it soon and redo the picture and weight.

That is so cool! I remember when that happened! I remember when I originally put 240. I think I was actually about 260 at the time. Then, I had to renew it a couple of months ago (was it only a couple of months!??!?!) and I struggled on what weight to put there. I was still 55 pounds from my goal weight so that wouldn't work. So, I put my EXACT weight from that morning--235--which was only 5 pounds less than what was originally on it. The DMV guy thought I was strange for making him change it only 5 pounds.

I don't know about other states, but I know CA has the date your license was issued on the bottom. I figured I could go back later and see what I was on that exact date. Well, it's been about 2 months and I am now 219...16 more pounds gone! Yay!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
