My real wedding ring...

I didn't have to cut mine off, but it took about a half hour under ice cold water to get it off and that was 9 years ago. I was at work and looked down at my hand to see I'd cut myself right around the ring and had blood all over. It was awful. DH was PISSED that I couldn't get it back on and didn't wear it anymore!

I didn't wear it for over 5 years until I had it re-sized in 2008. I didn't do it right away as the jewelers were all telling me if I sized it up it wouldn't be able to be sized back down. They were full of *kitten*, they just wanted to sell me a new ring for a lot of $$$! I found a good jeweler who sized it up and told me to come back to him when I was ready. I can gladly say I'm ALMOST ready. I can no longer wear it now without a ring guard (cheap plastic c ring from Icing) on it. I want to get down a few more pounds before I fix it. Good luck in your quest!

I'm working towards wearing mine again as well . I love my set, I wish I could wear it haha.

When I got married my ring was a 7.5 I had to have it sized up several different times the largest being a 9.5

Sadly the diamond fell out about a year ago and I was without a ring for about 3 months before we started looking at new diamonds

I had lost 30 pounds when we went shopping for new stones and I was able to get a 7.5 again

Now my new ring is WAY too big and I am just waiting to lost these last 30 pounds before I have it resized one last time!

Keep working it will happen!!

Realizing that my wedding rings were getting very close to the non-removable state was one of the biggest motivators for me to start losing weight.

Mine was stuck on my hand for almost two years. I couldn't even get my engagement ring on. Now, the band is at least one size too big and spins freely. I can finlly wear my engagement ring again and it holds the band in place better. Hang in there, you will achieve your goal :happy:

I am in the same boat!! Except, my "stand in" ring is also too tight now! I started about 1 month ago...12 pounds lost and a whole lot more to go
You are doing great! Keep up the good work!

I managed to get my wedding band off just in the nick of time before I had to have it cut. I can't wait for the day when I can wear it again. I did manage to get my engagement ring back on, but my band still doesn't fit. It will one day, though

Beautiful story - After losing my first 10 lbs all my rings are now too big on me.

I'm actually happy about this although it will be costly down the line.

As long as you find your motivation and remind yourself of it all the time then you will reach your goal.

KEEP IT UP!

I have noticed mine get too tight when i've had too much sodium, or when i was heavier. They would not come off unless my hands were cold or i used a lot of lotion to pry them off. I have noticed now that i drink a TON of water and have lost some weight, they are much looser.
I have a diamond engagement ring with a matching band, but also a separate band that matches my husbands. I don't wear mine often because i always have on the diamond. When he lost a ton of weight several years ago, he started wearing MY band! It is a size 8. He's back in his size 10 now.

I used to work at a high end jewelry store (when i was engaged, which is how we were able to get more rings, less $$) and we used to put "sizing beads" inside the band of the ring. Some rings that are eternity bands, ie, with diamonds all the way around, can't really be sized up or down. But if you have a ring that is a bit big (sometimes more than others), sizing beads are soldered inside the band and allow for the finger to go up and down a bit in size. THey are more permanent, but can always be removed by a jeweler.
Worth checking in to!

ring tattoo ....... DONE

This is what I'm leaning towards. Is your's a design or just a band?
