Losing weight and losing wedding ring

[PhantomMaxx]

Off topic question here, but serious

Once I started losing weight the first time I noticed my wedding ring got loose. Now every time I lean out the ring keeps falling off. Sometimes I find the ring on the floor in my office. The other day I was cycling in the cold and I heard a ping on the asphalt, looked down to see my ring bouncing around. In the winter when I'm a little heavier it stays on no problem. I would stop wearing my ring but I really love my wife and the symbol of the ring. I know I can't be the only one with is situation, what do you guys do?

Put your ring away in a safe place and buy a smaller ring.

Perhaps get a smaller exact copy of your ring made, involve the wife in the process .. redo your vows perhaps and exchange new rings as part of the ceremony...

Other thought is have yours resized a small amount, somewhere inbetween that is ok at either your winter weight or summer weight ..

good luck, just dont lose the ring man !!

I bought a smaller ring. I also wear my origional wedding ring on a chain around my neck. I just did not like the thought of having it cut down. It also serves as a reminder of where I was and to where I never want to return.

what do you guys do?

Go to a jeweler, and have it resized.

/thread.

Same issue here. I had mine resized 1/4 size smaller. It worked perfectly and now is even a little snug. Only cost $40.

[cowboybiker]

Have you tried talking about it with your wife to come up with solution ?
Depending on the the metal it can be resized.

I need to do the same thing soon.

[weaselditch]

I had my wifes name tatted on my ring finger.

^^^^ this again. My wife worked at a jeweler for years and you should be able to get it resized, even though they may send it off to do so. You can also get settings (for your wife's diamond or whatever) completely remade if it bends/deteriorates/etc.

I just bough a "winter" ring for the same issue. I have lost thirty five pounds and it falls off, especially in the cold.

[Keltron]

I would think the yearly climate would have as much to do w/how the ring fits as much as the weight of the wearer.

This.

Really a no-brainer.

I vote you do like the girls did in high school when their boyfriend would let them wear their class ring - wind yarn around the bottom until it fits.

i never really wore my ring and it was stolen out of my house by someone i know

[longbowjim]

I've lost 150lbs. since 2005 and my wedding ring is a size 15. A few weeks ago I took it and got it re-sized to a 11 1/2 and it still is too lose. I have to lose another 50lbs and plan to do it this year so I will just have it re-sized again. I keep it some place safe and the wife understands.

It is a common problem OP...

Here are a few more answers to a thread I started a while back..

It's more manly to use Duct Tape.... really op if it can't be fixed with Duct Tape it's not worth fixing.... (btw they even make clear Duct Tape now if you think the silver will clash with the gold.)

Been married seventeen years and have never owned a ring. Problem solved!

I have been married 22.5 years, and while I own one, it came off the day after the wedding, and I have not had it back on since, not even once.

[Corbi]

I have the opposite issue, since I began working out I have maintained the same weight but my fingers have gone up in size a bit and my ring was literally cutting into my finger. I no longer care for the design of and my wife has agreed we will just get me a new one.

[PhantomMaxx]

Thanks for everyone comments. Some good options for sure. I sent a link to this thread to the wife and after reading it we talked about it. I am going to see how much more weight I am going to loose and then have the ring sized somewhere in between the end weight and current weight. As least thats the plan until the next time the ring falls off. We will see.
