My wedding ring has been loose for quite some time but I've been putting off fixing it. Today we were filling the firewood racks on our porch. My pants were falling down and I couldn't pull them up with my heavy work gloves on. I pulled my left glove off, heard a loud TING! as my ring hit the porch railing and I knew it was gone. I didn't see it go, I just heard the sound, so I'm not even sure where to look. I crawled around in the snow for about an hour but couldn't find it. Maybe it'll turn up in the Spring. It's even worse if it went under the porch through the cracks between the floorboards. There's only 6-12 inches between the joists and the ground so I can't fit under there to look for it. I'm so bummed! I haven't been without my ring in 32 years. It's just a simple gold band but it's not what it IS, it's what it MEANS. :-(

I know how you feel...i lost my pants on the side walk outside my home one day...Walking and down they went...gone from a size 8 ring to a 5.5..None of my rings fit.. So far I have not lost any but I cannot wear them and my wedding ring cannot be sized..It has a design on it that will ruin it if I do that...stuck!

Know anyone with a metal detector? Not sure if it would work if it fell under the porch because of the clearance. Maybe a hoe to scrape it out?

You can always unscrew the boards in the spring and look then if you don't find it before then. Good luck finding it.

I just decided to put my ring away for safe keeping until I am all done losing and can get it resized. I lost a little weight when I got engaged and lost the first diamond (and he still married me). It took ten years of marriage and two babies to get this one and I'm not chancing it.

I FOUND IT!!!!! :-) :-) :-)

I just got home and it's pretty dark so I had this thought - maybe if I turned off all the outside lights and looked around with the flashlight it might shine when the light hits it. And it did!!!! It was nowhere near where I thought it would be. It took all of one minute to find it! I'm so happy! Now I'd better get it sized before I lose it again... :-)

So glad you found it. Mine was stolen at work when I left it on the bathroom sink to wash my hands. It was getting so loose and I was worried I would loose it down the drain. Well I walked out and did not notice it was gone until several hours later. What stinks is I am fairly sure I know who stole it. The cameras showed three people going in and out of the bathroom after that, and all said they never saw it.

On a good note hubby bought me a new one for Christmas and I love it so much. It's not my original ring, but it is ultimately a piece of jewelry and I would rather have the love that it stands for.

So glad you found yours!! Get it sized ASAP!

Walmart had these little plastic things that fit on your ring to make it tighter. They were $3. It's a great temporary fix till I can get to the jeweler. :-)

I had that my ring which is why I took it off to wash my hands. It hurt me to rub my hands together with the plastic thing on my ring.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
