BillOh 13 Posted July 9, 2009 Its a slow day here, am I was sitting here thinking. I was 225 when I got married 28 years ago. I use to travel a lot and when I got down to 195, I'm thinking this was 1985 or so, I was in Missouri and I noticed my wedding ring was missing and I suspected it came off while I slept. (Ladies, this is the truth) I was lucky and did go back to the hotel room and was able to find it in the bed. I'm getting close to getting back to that weight and I see my ring is very loose. I'll have to look into one of those ring guards. Just thought I would mention it in case it saves someone from losing a more expensive piece of jewelry.

I just told my hubby the other day that i need to get a ring guard because my ring is so lose i'm afraid it's going to fall off and i won't notice! It's insured, but it still wouldn't be the same having to replace it! I'm not ready to have it sized down....i had it sized to be able to wear it, and i don't want to do anything to it until i KNOW it won't have to be sized again!

bigpapa2 0 Posted July 9, 2009 I had to get a new wedding ring because mine was so big. Being a guy my ring is cheap so ts nothing to just buy a new ring as my body keeps shrinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted July 9, 2009 I've had my wedding and engagement rings resized twice and they're too big again - not wearing them at the moment. I actually dont wear them that often anyway, as my tastes have changed a LOT since I got married 20 years ago and I tend to wear very different style of jewellery now, not really big on traditional feminine pretty jewellery and much more likely to go for something much more modern/funkier. So at the moment I've got a sterling silver dome ring on my wedding finger. DH isnt fussed, he'd rather I do that than shell out AGAIN for resizing, and I think I'll wait and remodel the rings entirely. They're yellow gold which I no longer wear at all.

Claudine1975 0 Posted July 10, 2009 I have ring guards on my wedding ring and had them for a couple of months now. I have also noticed that my watch slings all around my wrists - need a link or 2 taken out before I lose it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greytz 4 Posted July 10, 2009 Even though I have only lost twenty pounds, I have lost inches so my rings are sort of rolling around on my fingers. Will wait until I (hopefully) reach my goal to get them sized. I had already had them redone for my 20th anniversary and love them so I will have them sized. Can't wait till that day comes. Good point BillOh. Maybe it will help someone remember to get a guard or sizing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

itschoice 0 Posted July 10, 2009 I was at a restaurant with my kids the day before yesterday and as i was wiping my hands I felt a thud on the floor. I has no idea what it was but I checked my finger and my ring was missing. I looked down and there between my feet was my ring. I never felt it come off. It it had not been for the thud and the fact that it was a moment that my kids were being very quiet I would have lost my ring. I need to get a ring guard...and soon!

FabBy50 0 Posted July 13, 2009 I need to have mine sized too because they are flopping all over my finger, I would be sick if I lost my diamond Hubby surprised my last year with a 1 1/2 ct. I still have 35-40lbs to go and then I will size them. Bernadette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While my ring is an ultra cheap band, its the one I put on when I got married 28 years ago, you can't replace that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, the stone sits high and it gets caught on just about everything. When I break into wonderland (24 lbs to go, woo-hoo) I get a trinity ring. I'm looking at one that is amethyst, which is my hubs birthstone. I like the jewelry you've chosen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stepoffaith 0 Posted July 13, 2009 I went to a jewelry store and purchased gold sizers that were quickly (within 3-4 minutes) placed within my rings. They can easily be tightened by me as I continue to lose weight and work wonderfully at keeping my rings on my finger. They are not noticeable by anyone else and I am in no hurry to have my rings sized even though I am close to goal, I am not sure I am quite there so why hurry? I am not worried about losing my rings anymore and I paid about $20 a ring to keep them on my finger, a great investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
