    Mine are getting thinner. I'm now able to pick my nose up to the third knuckle!

    What "finger" are you really concerned with? :-)

    Mine did. I have had these two rings since I was in high school When I got them, I was unable to fit them. Two or three months ago, I was able to wear them. Now, they are too big.

    I lost my first 30 lbs out of my knee areas, ankles and hands. So yes, they do.

    I certainly hope so lol. I have stubby, chubby, man fingers ( no offense guys) and have a hard time finding rings that fit. I have noticed my shoe size go down (a size and a half) though like a lot of other people have mentioned.

    I'm only 9 days in and my wedding ring is definitely looser. My fingers had gotten a bit chubby, and I had a wedding ring 'muffin top' :laugh: that's gone now...

    Yes - 4 ring sizes down and my engagement ring is still a bit loose on cold days. Also gone from a UK size 9 (43) to a UK size 7 (41) shoe size. Bizarre!

    My fingers have all become thinner, they're roughly two ring sizes down! I get happy, cuz who wants stubby fingers!? But then again, I have so many cute rings that I can't wear right now.

    I used to wear a 10 or 10 1/2 ring. Now I can easily do a 9.

    Makes me wish I wore a ring, I honestly don't know, though I can imagine they are. They don't look any different to me though.

    Yes. I'm able to wear my original wedding ring again after 20 years. I've been carrying it on my keychain so I wouldn't lose it.

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

    This. My grandfather's ring barely fits now. :-(

    I'm on my third wedding band and I haven't reached my first anniversary yet (thank whatever you believe in for lifetime care plans, best money I ever spent!).

    Yes ! I could not wear my wedding ring for two years ! Now goes on perfectly . :):)
    Wrist has shrunk. Watch flips around. But every time it does that it reminds me of what I have accomplished.
    Feet.....ahh getting close to an 8 , did wear a 9.
    And face. And I swear my head has also shrunk.
    Just pure awesome !

    They do. There was a couple years that I was unable to wear my wedding rings. Now I almost need to have them resized because they're loose.

    I bet that makes dating easier, though.

    I lost 47 pounds using MFP (recently gained 25 back in the last 6 months), I lost weight in my hands, fingers, wrists, etc. I had to have all my rings sized down a 1 complete size. Even my watch bands were way to large.

    Looks like you've got your answer but, yes. I now can wear my wedding ring on my thumb.
