    Based on drivers license information more likely. I looked at mine still says 175 I haven’t weigh that in 10 years.

      Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

      Drivers licenses are often a self-report honor system in much of the US.

        I told the truth once and the guy at the DMV asked me if I wanted to be the first person to tell the truth, lol.

      I remember mine for the longest time said 130 pounds because I got my license in high school when I was a weirdly skinny kid.

      My driver’s license has me a couple inches shorter than I am because I wasn’t quite done growing at 16. I asked once about changing it when I went to renew my license, but they need some paperwork and I think maybe even a doctor’s note, so I didn’t bother.

      If the government is fine having an inaccurate description of me on file, that’s their problem I guess.
