Who knew you could lose weight in your fingers? My ring is too loose to wear now so I had to take it off, happy and sad moment.

    I often don't wear mine, for the same reason. More often, I don't wear my engagement ring, because it's heavier and more likely to get lost. I've only lost about 30-35 pounds since I first received the engagement ring. I really don't want to get it resized, because I have already done so twice - smaller when I first received it, then shortly after, larger because I wasn't happy with it small. What if I get it reduced, and then regret it later, when I'm 50, 60, or 100?

    Well done on the weight loss, by the way...

    I think I started to lose weight in my hands first actually. My ring is quite loose on me, and it was actually tight to begin with as the style I got didn't come in half sizes. It slips off easily now and I've had to search my bed for it at times in the morning as it has slipped off in the middle of the night. I'm unsure how resizing is done though and as it has writing around it I'm wondering how it will be affected.

    I was surprised, too! I lost 116 pounds and went from a ring size 7 3/4 to a 5 1/2. If you have more weight to lose I recommend waiting until you've hit your goal weight before you resize it.

    That's a coincidence. I stopped wearing mine this morning because I'm afraid I might lose it. I don't want to resize it yet though, in case I lose more weight.

    I'm wearing my engagement ring now instead :)

    I have the same issue. It fits ok most of time but if my hands get cold at all is starts to slip around at which point I've been switching it over to my right hand instead. My husband actually has the same problem as well since he started losing weight, and his ring isn't re-sizable. You lose weight all over, hands and feet...most of my sandles are now too big because my feet aren't as wide as they used to be. Kind of amazing all the places fat likes to hide : ) Good luck on the resizing and congrats on the weight lose.

    Put it on a necklace if it won't stay on your finger (until you hit your goal).

    your ring can be re-sized both ways up and down, I know this cause I've had it done. Lost 57 lbs 5 yrs ago and had to get it smaller then in the next 5 yrs had to get it stretched to fit :sad:
    unfortunately,getting it stretched is easy, but to make it smaller involves cutting out a piece of the gold, welding it back together and therefor decreasing the overall value of the ring.

    That's a GREAT feeling! Congrats!

    My original wedding ring was a size 11.5 when I was 291 lbs and since then, I have gone to a 9.5 and now I am at a 9.
