I can wear my wedding ring!!!

One of my mini goals was to be able to wear my wedding ring again by our anniversary: March 20th. Last night before I left for my workout I fished it out of the drawer to see how close I am with 5 months to go. It fit!

It's not perfect of course, I still have a lot of weight to lose. But just the fact I can take it on and off without a struggle or it getting stuck is huge! When we got married it was actually loose. I can't wait to see how it looks when our anniversary is here.

So yeah, I'm sporting my wedding ring today which I'm pretty sure my coworkers have never seen.

That's amazing! My wife and I haven't been wearing our wedding rings for several years because of weight gain. I've started to lose some where I could probably wear it, but I am waiting for her to get there with me too. She doesn't want me to wear it without her being able to, or else she thinks that people will think she's my mistress lol.

That's fantastic! I haven't been able to wear mine since halfway through pregnancy. I actually recently wound up buying an inexpensive larger "temporary" ring because it was really bothering my husband and he kept asking if I wanted to have my rings sized up (I don't). One of my big milestones is to be able to wear my rings again.

I had my wedding ring resized when I put weight on, having given up on ever losing enough. When I did go on to lose enough weight a couple of years later I forgot about my bigger ring and it flew off my finger when getting out of the car and dropped into a rain drain - gone forever

I think this is one of the best NSVs out there!

I was big when i got married so my ring falls off right now. I am waiting until I am at my goal weight to have it sized down.

In five months you'll probably have to have your rings re-sized, if you keep going like that. Congratulations!

Same! Mine was too tight really when I got married, and now I have ring "huggers" on them to keep them on. when I reach my goal weight I'll get them re-sized

I know how you feel - I have been unable to wear my wedding band for many years - now I can wear it in the morning for a couple of hours. Fingers tend to swell slightly in the afternoons.

Congrats, that is great!

Thanks for all the congrats! It definitely feels good to be able to wear the ring again. A few people at work have noticed.

It was a little tight this morning, but considering I'm down another 2 pounds I think I'm a bit bloated from the rowing machine block in yesterday's workout. I was shooting for 5,000 meters but only made it to 4,728 before time was called.
