I had to renew a government issued ID today that included my height and weight. I have lied like a rug on my drivers license for years claiming that I was 285. Today is the first time in my life that I didn't lie about my weight on an ID card. I'm quite proud that in 6 weeks I will have a picture that is current and a weight that is correct as of today anyway.

Congratulations to you!!!! 

I realized about a month ago that my driver's license has my old 'LIE' of a weight... I had it as 185... I was 260 at surgery...

Now it's still 185, and I'm 154!

I need to go get a new one just because I can, I don't think this one expires for a couple more years.

And because you're not done losing, you'll be in my shoes in a few months!

I saw 333 once and I know that I was at least in the 340's at some point. My license doesn't expire until 2022 so I have a bit to wait on that one.

Ha! I hear you!  I had to get a new drivers license because people didn't believe it was me since I looked nothing like my picture (taken when I was twice as big as I am now!).  It was awesome not to lie!

Congratulations!    

This brought back memories.  For years I was 5'4" and 125 pounds.  Hello, when I was 330 pounds my DL said 125.  I was shocked I got through the airport

It was a big NSV when the weight was real!

I've lied all along, but not quite so boldly as you have, Kathy.  You should get an award, kind of like high-school reunions where the awards include one for the person who traveled the farthest to the reunion.
