Hello, Banditos, I have a question for you. Are your rings getting too loose? My wedding bands are spinning on my fingers. I still want to wear them, but I don't really want to put ugly masking tape on the back like girls used to do in high school if they wore a guy's class ring.

Anyhow, where can I get something to tighten my rings until I am ready to have the resized? Aren't there little clear plastic things you can buy?

In one way, I love to see them spinning, but in another way, it's annoying, ya know?

Oh, the "problems" we have with with weight loss. *sigh*

Ann, I'm having the same problem as well! I tried on some of my favorite rings the other day and they were too big! I am curious to see what is out there for this as well...

And LOL, yes, such problems!

I've seen some short plastic tubes that you can put on the back of your rings to make them fit better. They were available at Walmart in the jewelry department. They were split up one side and popped onto the back of the ring. I haven't used them this time I've been losing weight, so I'm not positive they still have them.

I have the same problem....my jeweler has a sizer that is metal that fits in the inside of your ring you can't really tell its there and it was like 5 dollars for them to put it in.

Many Jewelers will give you a ring guard for free. Mine is very loose now. 20 years ago when I last was at this weight, mine fell off in my sleep in a hotel bed in Cape Girardeau Mo. Fortunately, I discovered it 8 hours later under the bed. If I press on the bottom of my wedding ring I have about 3/8" room. It slides off and on easy now. I had to stop wearing it and buy a cheap band to wear the last couple of years.

I learned right away that having them sized is MUCH cheaper than losing them...

I learned the hard way after looking down and seeing my 5k platinum ring gone.... Found it an hour later laying on the front porch when I was leaving for my run it must have slipped off.

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions. I will definitely check for the ring guards. Eventually I will get them sized, but I want to get to my goal first. :thumbup:

I was wearing my Mom's set because mine was too small. Now I there too big. I can't wait to wear mine again. It really is a source of motivation for me.

Over the weekend I was at the mall and I found some ring guards at Claire's. They are called "Ring Snuggies" and you get a pack of 5 assorted sizes for $5.50. I thought that was a real bargain! They are clear rubber and they grip very well. :smile2:

You can have balls put on the inside of you ring. It is really for people that have arthritis but it works great for arthritis as well.
