About a month ago I had to take off my wedding ring. It had been tight for a while, but this time it was too tight. I couldn't get it off easily. I was devastated. I teased my husband that I needed a new ring. But inside I knew I loved my ring, and it wasn't a cheap ring, I wanted to keep this one. I knew I needed to lose weight. Well I could wear it during the day but at night my fingers would swell up too much. Last night, I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP WITH MY RING ON! Now, don't get me wrong, it is still too tight. Just not cut off circulation tight anymore :P In no time, it will fit like a gem. Then some day I may have to have it sized smaller :D:D:D

    Congratulations. I hope that every time you look down at your hand that the ring now not only reminds you of the love you share with your husband but also the things that YOU are capable of! :)

    I totally get it! I can barely wear mine now cause it's too big and just spins on my finger. Drives me crazy. FYI windex is the best thing to use when rings get stuck. :) Keep up the good work! Add me if you want to.

    That's really awesome! I kind of have the same problem....my fingers swell and my ring gets uncomfortably tight. But, lately, I've been able to wear it all the time and I'm loving it!

    Isn't it such a nice feeling? I know my engagement ring is getting pretty big and it's a nice little victory.

    It is a blessing and a curse LOL. My ring size went down by 3 sizes, my wedding band was a size 7 and my ring finger is now a size 4. Due to the pattern on my band they couldn't resize it, so I had to get one of those flexible things on the inside so I can wear it again. I also had an inscription on the inside of my band, but it can no longer been seen because of the sizer sigh!! Like I said a blessing and a curse but I wouldn't change it for anything.

    Congrats on your success, keep it up!
