My real wedding ring...

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?

we got shamrocks being our anniversary is the day before st pats

Love it! My wife has a shamrock tat on her back.

I've been married twice and each time I've had to have my wedding ring cut off because of weight gain.

My hubby bought me a new ring when I lost a lot of weight before, but to be honest, I hate it. Now, where I've lost so much weight, my original ring is falling off, it's only the engagement ring and eternity ring that hold it on, and even they are really loose, but to me, that's MY wedding ring - the replacement has no sentimentality at all.

I have the opposite problem! I'm recently engaged and we picked out a beautiful ring together. But I'm so far from my goal it's not even funny. There's no way I can loose a significant amount of weight in a healthy way by the wedding date. We're getting married in late July and I'm 50 lbs away from my goal! Yikes!!!

I'm going to have to have the ring reduced sized down eventually when I lost the weight. I'm determined to do it right this time and when the time comes the ring will be way too large. Fortunately, we bought my ring at a really great online jeweler, JAMES ALLEN, who has a great Lifetime Warranty and a very lost cost resizing service. They resize for free within 60 days but i know it'll take me at least 6 months to get to my goal....but after 60 days you can have it resized for a very small fee and they'll tighten the prongs and polish and clean it for FREE at the same time.

I thought about getting a temp ring but DF really wanted to get me something nice and convinced me that life is short and to live for the day.

Don't fret though. It's totally common to have jewelry resized and adjusted.

This post makes me feel so much better! Over Christmas I reached my top weight and had to soak my hand in freezing cold water and oil down my finger to get my engagement ring off. I no longer wear it. Every post about rings not fitting involved people who were pregnant and retaining water, not just from gaining weight. It's such a relief to know that I will lose weight in my hands and will be able to wear my ring again! Just another thing to work towards, thank you!

This post is sooo reassuring and motivating. I have a similar story....my engagement ring and wedding band became so tight, I too had to soak my hand in ice water and use lots of soap on my finger to get it off. It was getting to the point where my finger was red and the rings were cutting off circulation! I have just been able to put back on my engagement ring -- it fits comfortably but would still be difficult to get off. My first short term goal is to be able to put on my wedding band-- it is an eternity ring that would be hard to make bigger. It will feel so good to be able to wear my wedding set again! It is a great motivator and short time goal.

Please add me as a friend if you want to work on this goal together!

My wedding ring fit the day we got married and it got a little tight but luckily I did not have to stop wearing it. I not have a sizer in my ring. It is temporary but I don't want to pay to get my ring resized until I am done with my weight loss. It can happen so don't give up.
