Do you lie on your driver's license?

This morning was the dreaded driver's license renewal.  Ugh!!!!!  I hate it ! hate it! hate it! Any changes in your weight they ask?  "maybe" I wanted to say.  It's so embarrasing when people are lined up at the counter when they ask.  So I held up a paper to hide my hand and flashed 3 fingers at her.  She knew what I ment.  It was a little lie since last time on a scale i was at least 350.  I won't even start about how awful the photo is.  In 4 years I won't like the same person and I will proudly say my weight out loud.  So my question is how common is it to lie about your weight on your driver's license?

Well, of course, I cannot speak for everyone -- but I have lied for years on my driver's license.  I would guess that it's very common.  In fact, my lie was absolutely ridiculous: I weighed 344 but my license says 180!  HAHAHA -- and the clerk never said anything about it.  

One of my issues now is that people double check my license and comment on how different I look.  In fact, on my last flight, I was advised that I would be required to update my passport and driver's license -- which I have postponed doing because my license needs renewed this next birthday anyhow and passports are freaking expensive!  

So, I am 11 months out and I am proud to say that I now weigh LESS than what my driver's license says.

When they ask me 'has your information changed or your weight?" I just nonchalantly say nope.  Mine has said 185 for nearly 20 years and at my highest I was 319. I am hopeful I will hit my goal and then I will be glad to change it to 165! LOL

I didn't list my actual weight for many years.  I listed the weight that I estimated I'd be at when I finished whatever fad diet that I was on at the time. 

One of my favorite WLS WOW moments was weighing LESS than what my driver's license said I weighed.  That was a very sweet moment!

Signed up for my license in 2005. I lied. It was a 15 pound lie. Since then I have gone above that amount, below that amount and then WAY above that amount. This week I noticed I was below my driver's license lie weight. Woo Hoo!

My license has to be renewed in Sept 2015. I think I will do that on my 1 year anniversary. They better ask if my weight has changed. Lol!

I had to pull out my license to see what weight it had listed and its 190. I haven't been that weight in about 13 years but should be below it in a couple of months. My highest was 257 but they have never asked me if my information has changed. My work ID says 175 but the lowest I ever was was when in first started 14 years ago and I was 185. I've always fibbed a little. Can't wait until I don't have to anymore.

I think I was 260 and I said I was 250.  Of course, then I got to 319 and it still said 250.  Now I'm 199 and, you guessed it, it still says 250.  

I figure I'll get it updated before I travel to Norway in May, along with my passport, just to be on the safe side.  I'll be telling the DMV my weight down to the ounce.  "Yes, ma'am, it's 143.2." ;)
