Do your fingers get thinner when you lose weight?

MisterZ33 · August 2014

Or will i be stuck with these stubby ones forever?

Mine do. My rings get really loose and nearly fall off.

jamoore94 · August 2014

Mine definitely have gotten thinner, I can't wear any of my rings at all as they side right off, waiting to get them resized till I am closer to my goal.

I haven't been able to wear my wedding band since last Christmas. Then, I could easily slip it off. Now, if I put it on my hand and then drop my hand down to my side, it falls completely off, without any "help." So, I would say that you will most likely loose in your fingers too!

mine did

Meerataila · August 2014

I don't think so, and my total weight loss is over half my body weight. My feet on the other hand...I'm still trying to figure out how I lost half a shoe size when I've been a 7 1/2 since I was a teenager. Are they vanity sizing sneakers now?

keefmac · August 2014

Same here, I'm constanly checking my wedding ring is still on at work!. When I get down to goal weight it'll get re-sized.

eamillie · August 2014

Mine do. Surprisingly enough, they're one of the first places I lose weight, lol. I think it's water weight there.

Shoe size went first, ring size last.

I only went down 1/2 a shoe size or so, but lost 2 sizes on my rings.

KrzyGal · August 2014

Mine did and now I have no rings I can wear.

That was one of the first places I noticed I was losing in too!

Mine did. No shoe size. Man if my shoes change my hubby is in trouble. I may or may not have a shoe problem *hides shoes under the bed*

Yes and no. My husband and I both have "skinny fingers" -- and our wedding rings are falling off, even though we haven't yet hit our 1 year anniversary -- but we had "skinny fingers" even when we weighed 100 lb more (skinny relative to our bodies). I have a friend who went from about a size 16 to an 8-10 and her fingers have not changed, and she always gripes about them being short & stubby.

Mine have shrunk 2 ring sizes....

soechsner09 · August 2014

Apparently it's one of the first places I lose weight ... my fingers, my feet (they've actually shrunk AND slimmed down), and my neck. I've always found it weird, but I'm glad because they used to be quite a bit bigger. The size of my class ring in high school was a bit ridiculous.

carrieliz81 · August 2014

Yes! Mine did. Guess it depends on how chubby they are to begin with. Some people just have larger fingers, and other people I have known who are large people have tiny fingers. I just have fat fingers, and when I lose weight, they do too.

SteampunkSongbird · August 2014

My engagement ring is a bit more loose than it used to be, it was a perfect fit originally so my fingers have slimmed a wee bit, even though they don't really look any different to me. :-( I went up a shoe size about a year ago from my weight gain, I'm hoping my feet lose a bit too, my toes are definitely more chubby than they used to be!

mathandcats · August 2014

Yes! I've always hated my stubby fat fingers, but I have definitely noticed they are slimmer now. If I hold my fingers together so that they are touching at the knuckles, there are now small gaps between them that didn't used to be there. I'm glad I thought to take a picture of my hands about a month after I started, for reference.

My wedding ring no longer fits, but I had it enlarged when I gained the weight a few years ago. I'll have it taken in when I'm finished, I was a bit plump and pregnant when I got married.

WranglerMichelle · August 2014

My high school class ring is a 7.5, and I wasn't even at my heaviest in high school. It completely falls off now, even if I wear it on my biggest finger. My wedding ring is a 5.5, and it's starting to spin like crazy. I get the occasional comment about how long and slender/tiny my fingers are. I guess it depends from person to person, but for me, I definitely slimmed down in my fingers quite a bit.

VeryKatie · August 2014

Mine got thinner by 1 to 1.5 ring sizes. They didn't get longer though so they still look stubby.

I've only lost about 20 lbs too. But am in a healthy BMI now.

JenSD6 · August 2014

At my heaviest, I had to wear my wedding ring on a necklace, as it wouldn't fit on my finger anymore. Now it fits a little loose on my finger.

jbee27 · August 2014

Mine have. Rings I used to wear on my ring finger are now loose on my middle finger. I had some funky cocktail ring type rings that I used to wear on my middle finger that I ended up giving away because if I gestured slightly they came flying off!

ValentineMomma · August 2014

I didn't have any change in fingers, but in my feet I did. My feet weren't as wide. It was cool. Someone told me after women have kids their feet get bigger and stay that way. My feet had gotten wider and I couldn't understand why I had to wear a size 7 shoes suddenly. The way I realized my feet got thinner was after i lost about 20 lbs, I put on a pair of brand new slippers which I bought after having kids, in my old size 6 1/2, which finally fit me. Only this time, they were loose!

shanlivestrong · August 2014

I've gotten rid of 19.8lbs total and I started noticing my ring falling off at around 10lbs. As someone mentioned in a previous comment, it was probably water weight. I think it's safe to say your fingers will go down.
