Wedding ring and weight loss problem!

[cats7494]

I have lost 22 pounds so far and now my wedding ring is too big. Yesterday it just flew off my finger!
I do not want to resize it yet - more pounds to lose! I want to wear it without losing it! Does anyone have suggestions???

What a great problem to have!!! Congratulatons! I too have a ring that is "flying off," but want to wait until I've lost more to resize.

I've thought about trying a ring spacer. They are simply pieces of soft plastic that fit around your ring band and sit against your finger to make the ring tighter. I think you can get them at most jewlers. A good local jewler will work with you to make the ring fit for least cost!

You could always go the old high school route (remember the way too big guys football and class rings)... wrap yarn around the back of the band. Same principle as the plastic thingies I guess (just a bit more tacky).

Whatever works! Good luck

Oh good idea - I forgot about those spacers. I will track one down!
That is funny - I mentioned to DH last night I was going to use yarn like in High School!

No that's funny. I was going to suggest this as my high school girlfriend used to do the same thing.

Congratulations!

What a fine problem to have!

I would suggest what has already been suggested. You could also get a CZ temporary one until you reach goal and can reward yourself with either a resize or a new one.

That's great! A loose wedding ring is a fantastic NSV (non-scale-victory)

What a great feeling huh?

I did this in 2005 and it was close to my anniversary so my hubby bought me a smaller ring that I placed in front of my wedding rings and that one kept the others on.

Had a baby in November and I gained all the weight back so I took it off and my wedding rings fit now. I am working on losing it again and I can't wait to put it back on
