For the first time in over 30 years- I actually weigh less than the weight on my Drivers License.
Unfortunately the dang thing doesnt expire till 9/2012. 
I may have to go pay the 20.00 just to get a new picture. However, then the question is... do I lie again and make it the weight I have set as a goal??????  After having "fibbed" for so long, I am not sure what to do. What would you do?

What a great feeling!  I would wait until it expires and put the true weight on there!  Keep up the great work!

thankfully Michigan does NOT print our weight on the license...I would hate that

My license expires next month, cannot wait to get an updated pic..i look pretty different than my license pic already. I would wait til your license expires..then you may be at your goal as well.

I would put my goal weight on it.  I used that as a tool to remind me of my goal when I was a new lap-bander. 

I will lose my "new" drivers license in Decmember 1) it is a horrible pic...mugshot
and 2) again I will be able to put my goal weight or actual weight depending whichever is lower on it.

If I lose weight as everyone else here has then I cant go 4 years with a horrible pic "big fat face"
and of course I will be lying about my weight because 300 pounds will be incorrect!!!

$20 is worth having a good pic!!!

I renewed mine in November and had them lower it to my first goal weight.  Now I'm 20 lbs less than that, which is my final goal.  So.......you never know.  I sure did like lowering it though because I had been a good 50 lbs heavier than what it originally said.

LOL I have NEVER weighed what my DL said....My license says 250 currently, and I weigh 158...when I get to my final goal of 135 I will get it changed. I got pulled over a couple months ago for speeding. Almost got in serious trouble for "giving the officer someone elses drivers license". After I finally showed him everything in my wallet says my name on it he believed me and lectured me saying that its the LAW in Illinois that you have to get a new pic taken and adjust your weight every 20 lbs......blow it out your ass officer DickHead. It's $25 a pop for a new license here.....that would have been $125 going to the state! No thanks.....when I get to my goal I will get my new pic taken and put the CORRECT weight on it for the first time in my life.

 wow - I totally forgot about that goal!  I just looked and wow - I really lied, LMAO.  I lied by 70 pounds - had this pic taken a year ago.  So, 10 more to go to match it.   You have to see the LOVELY pic on mine, it's so bad that I just laugh at it.  My last license picture was ADORABLE - which never happens.  Then I get this.  LMFAO.  I might just keep it for the damn laughs it gets.  She HAD to have done this on purpose...



Just to make myself feel better:





~Kristy~ VSG 3/29/11 ~ 15 pounds lost pre-op, SW - 240/GW - 150

Congrats on your NSV> I would put the true weight on it. Drivers licenses are such lousy indicators of weight i dont see why they waste their time putting weight on them.
