    My ring size went down also lol People don't really think about their fingers getting skinny. I had a size six wedding band and I told my husband I have to get it sized. I almost lost it several times. I am now a 4 3/4.

    That is exactly, EXACTLY where I am now and where I was! I was wondering wtf, did I lose like three pounds off each finger or something?

    I'm not done yet, and resizing my ring is going to be a giant hassle, so I'm just buying inexpensive silver guard rings to keep it on my finger for a while still. Sooner or later my fingers have to stop shrinking -- there's bone under there, after all. :-P

    congrats! you can always wrap a piece of clear tape several times around the ring (wear the taped part on the inside of your palm, of course) to make it fit better until you get it resized.
    check out garage sales or consignment shops for a pair of middle-weight pants to hold you over!

    I wouldn't be comfortable not wearing it. It's how my wife transmits her commands directly to my brain, and if I take it off I tend to walk in a circle muttering.

    This cracked me up. Thanks for the laugh...I needed it today. :happy:

    And congratulations on your NSV's!

    Update from my wife - "Those jeans look terribad... go to Kohls and buy some"


    Yes ma'am.

    Thank goodness Kohl's and many stores are having some great sales! I've had to replace 100% of my clothing (in maintenance so should be my final time) and I've been able to slowly get some really nice things for a reasonable price.

    Have fun shopping in your new mid-size!

    Last night I stood by the bed, shook my hand and my wedding band fell off. Then I loosened my belt and my pants fell off...


    My wife's reaction... "Wow! Hey! Wait a minute!!!"


    I actually really enjoy the feeling of the ring being loose, but I know I'll need to get it re-sized soon or I'll lose it. It's something to remind me that I am doing the right thing every time I wobble my hand. The pants thing is a problem because I'm planning to lose more weight, and don't want to buy any "middle weight" pants.

    Congratulations! That's awesome!

    Reminder: Don't hang any curtain rods until you get pants that fit..... lol.... my brother-in-law did that and yup, there he was standing in the centre of the picture window, holding a curtain rod up with his pants around his ankles..... we can laugh about it now..... nah who am I kidding, I was rolling on the floor laughing my head off when it happened :laugh:

    Haband.com offers fairly inexpensive "temporary clothing; they look reasonably decent, just not long wearing....which should NOT be an issue!

    Congrats and good luck.

    Shrinking is fun, eh? Find someone with a sewing machine, and get them to take your pants in an inch or two. You can do that a few times before you'll have to invest in some new ones.

    great job! i had to have my ring resized too. i really did not want too, b/c it was a nice reminder of how far i've come. but i would've lost it. it was also a nice reminder that now i don't ever plan on being that size again!

    Thanks for the giggle!

    I've used medical tape in a pinch until I could buy a sized.

    You can get spacers at Walmart cheaply if you don't have time to get your ring resized or don't have a way to do it for free. :happy: And the pants? You can get cheap pants! Hit up the outlet mall.

    Buy yourself a new pair of jeans! Your wife will appreciate seeing that nice butt, clothed beautifully, and you'll feel even greater when looking in the mirror. Nice work!!!

    Congratulations on your success so far! Keep the ring safe! and you *need* to at least buy 1 - 2 pairs of middle pants... thriftstore? or super cheap ones? keep up the good work!

    That's a really good idea!

    Congratulations! I am glad the ring fell of at home instead of outside somewhere where you could not find it.

    An elastic band works just as well for the wedding ring.

    Ha! Excellent! Put your ring on a chain and wear it around your neck until you reach your goal weight. Lots of tradies do that here as they can't have anything on their hands for safety reasons.

    Congrats! I'm looking forward to the exact opposite NSV. I was at my goal weight when we got married and I haven't worn my engagement or wedding ring for almost 25 years! I had to take them off when pregnant with my first child because I'd gained so much weight. o.O So I can't wait for the day I can put them both back on again! :)

    Just switch the ring to a bigger finger. If you are right handed, the fingers will be larger on that hand. I am currently wearing my engagement ring on my right middle finger. Will resize when I hit goal.

    My ring finger has apparently not gotten any skinnier!
    Neither has mine but then my hands were never fat.
