Well, after 10 weeks (as of Monday 10-13) on Atkins, I have lost 42 lbs and am FINALLY at/below my drivers license weight of 240 (which was a lie to begin with). It's about time my DL was right. I'm definitely going to tell the truth when I get it renewed next time though (should weigh a lot less by then !!)


Jeff

Congratulations, Jeff! You just keep at it!

lol...mine says 170. I just never bothered to up that when I got it renewed last 2 times. And to think, that used to seem like a lot then. ugh

Way to go!!!

Good for you! I just now hit the weight I've been telling people I weigh for years. I don't think anyone knew I actually exceeded 220 at one point...

I can relate. I'm actually looking forward to having my picture taken again...

Hah - this is funny. I'm still several pounds away from the big lie on my own license, even though I've lost 28 pounds!
Why do they make you put your weight on there? Why? Why?

I got a new ID picture recently and when no one is around, I sit there staring at the new picture next to my driver's license and cackle madly with joy. It looks like different people!

I remember getting a new license in High School after losing a lot of weight... soon you'll be "accidentally" losing your license so you can just get a new one to keep up with your progress.

My license has 225 lbs on it from about 10 years ago. This past Thursday I finally hit 226 lbs. When I hit my goal weight I'll just have to get it updated.

I wish i weighed what my license says, 150. I lied big time because when i got my license i weighed about 230.

I just checked my Virginia drivers license - it doesn't even have a space for weight? All the rest of the info is there (height, DOB, SS#, etc) - but no weight.

Guess VA figured out that weight wasn't reliable and stopped using it.

Mine still reads 135 pounds!!! lol!!!! That is from over 25 years ago and three kids!!!!

Congradulations Jeff on your HUGH WEIGHT LOSE!!!!!

Mine says 125... and I still have about 15lbs to go til it is correct... Oh well... I change my hair so much that when i get carded at bars... I get a double take... so not sure if it is that my face is getting thinner again or just my hair is so different from the picture...

Congrats Jeff... Great Accomplishment

Florida doesn't put your weight on it anymore. When I got my Learners Permit [Age 15] I was 175 pounds...When I got my Driver's Lisence a year later, I was 212 pounds [down from 219 a few months earlier]...But, I would rather have even that picture on my DL than the one they took when I changed my address...That one has me at close to 320 pounds...and was taken just months before going on Atkins. My lisence expires in a few months...So, they'll probably take another picture for it. My CWP Application asked for my weight, which I believe I marked as 240 [which was what I was at the time.] So, my weight'll probably be on that one...when the state finally approves it.

So after reading this thread I look at mine........220lbs. I cant wait to be at that weight again! Keep up the good work Jeff and CONGRATS!!!!

Funny I am now what it says on my license too-It was a lie at the time, but not anymore!
