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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
