I weigh more and I'm an inch or two shorter, but I'm just lazy and say "same" when I need to renew. It was hot here too yesterday but surprisingly the actual temperatures were in the low 80's. That sun was just blazing down so it felt like it was in the 90's. The humidity is going up for the weekend (great) so the dang mosquitos will be back out in full force. It's been nice to be outside on the deck at nighttime these past few nights. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-42060875041036503292015-08-05T15:41:52.342-04:002015-08-05T15:41:52.342-04:00I know, right!?

But dang was it nice to lower it when I was able to. The last time I renewed it I lowered the weight by 20 lbs because I knew I'd better be at least that weight by the next time I renewed. I beat it by 25 lbs. So this time I did the same thing, lowering it by 20 lbs so hopefully I'll repeat the pattern and be 25 lbs less that what's listed! (At least!) <br /><br />People RARELY look at the pic on the DL so don't feel bad about it. But it sounds like it might give you a boost to replace your DL instead of renewing by mail. Make that a goal for 6 months out!Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-50166602186381658742015-08-05T12:48:36.563-04:002015-08-05T12:48:36.563-04:00I was hoping so too.

(pre-weight loss), thinking I needed to at least be somewhat believable, knowing I was over 300 lbs. at the time. Because I can renew my license on-line now and don't have to physically go to the DMV, my DL still says 280 lbs., (there's no on-line option for changing the personal info), and it is the same picture as before. (I will do anything to avoid the DMV!) The 280 lbs. was never accurate, but even with my "fat" picture, few people notice the difference on the rare occasion I need to use it for ID. When we were in Colorado recently and checked in at our cabin, the lady told me that I "looked good," after checking out my driver's license since my credit card wasn't signed. She is only the second person who ever noticed my weight loss in over five years. Sometimes I wonder why they bother to ask for ID, because I definitely don't look like that woman in the picture and hopefully also don't look like I weigh 280 lbs., and yet they never question that I am THAT person.dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-38189073098392030742015-08-05T10:33:18.560-04:002015-08-05T10:33:18.560-04:00Darn I was hoping Vacation was going to be good! ...Darn I was hoping Vacation was going to be good! I loved the original, and Christmas Vacation, the others were ok. Enjoyed Ted 2 for exactly what it was, raunchy and silly!<br /><br />My DL still shows my weight when I first got my license, at 17, and I've never been required to change it. Let's just say there's a few pounds that should be added to that number!

I do try to be basically honest (round to the nearest 10 pounds) on my license, but I don't have to like it. There was one time they let me renew by mail as long as I didn't have any changes to make, so I didn't make any changes for 10 years - my weight was waaaay off that time. <br /><br />Heading to the museum today.

Ted 2 wasn't something I was expecting to like at all but it was really funny and just as you said it's pretty much what was expected and that is what made it enjoyable. Yesterday turned out pretty well after we got the license renewal out of the way. It's nice to get a good walk in but yeah it was hot!The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
