Driver's license, small victory

So funny!

Just moved from UT to NV and got my license last week. This is the first time ever that my actual weight is less than what I gave!

So glad you posted this thread.

Congrats!

Congrats. I never bothered to "correct" my weight so mine is not even close but I will be just as thrilled when I hit it.

So how often will you demand they change it now? Every 20 pounds?:biggrin2:

This thread just made me realize what mine states. 180

As of today, it is also no longer a lie. The scale was 179 this morning. I remember vividly the day the young man was typing the info and asked me my weight because it stated 135. I said 180 and it was over 200.

Congratulations!!

The weight on my license is really way off and what's even worse is that the picture is too. Not only was my face thinner, but my hair was a different color. :biggrin:

My license doesn't expire for another two years so I probably will just wait it out, by then the weight on my license should be accurate if not over-stated, and my face should match the picture even if my hair doesn't... well... except for being a little bit older!

In my state they don't list the weight on your license. But apparently the person issuing the license enters a weight category on the computer by "sizing you up" and guessing your weight by looking at you.

I just renewed my license the other day and the woman commented that she changed my weight category because it was obvious that I was not in the highest category anymore. When I got that license I was close to 300lbs. I was very flattered when she said she put me in the around 160lb category as I'm still a good 35lbs above that! I let her keep it there since that's my goal weight anyway!
