Mine too! I've told this story 100 times, but just before I lost weight my DH gave me some diamond earrings for Christmas...they looked so small on my big ears. I secretly called him a tightwad...;) NOW, they look huge on my delicate little lobes. :D

Ha :) I have told Jason he made out like a bandit on my engagement ring because my wee tiny child fingers make my diamond look HUGE! :)

Personally, I went from an 8.5 to an 8 in the shoe size.

I had to replace every item of clothes in my closet, except for socks.

My fingers have really shrunk. I used to wear a size 12 ring, now I think I'm a 7 or 7.5

Yep! After 30 pounds lost, I'm back to a size 5.5 from a 6. Which is nice, I guess, except that I had to replace a lot of really quality shoes. And I REALLY hope that I don't go to a size 5 when I hit my goal in 20 more pounds, but that's where I was as a teenager. It is IMPOSSIBLE to find shoes that small, though, so I'm scared.

My wedding ring is also just about to fall off. I keep thinking that I need to take it and get it sized, or just take it off until I do. I'm going to lose it one of these days.

I was wearing a 10W to 11W, now I am apparently in a 9.5 regular. It's a little eerie, but awesome, because I could never find shoes I wanted to wear that would fit me...and now I can!

This is great news! I have been in a wide width for so long now. Everybody knows that wide widths are expensive and hard to come by. I really hope to go from a 9W back into a pre-pregnancy 8.5 regular :)

This thread motivates me even more. I was a size 6 before I gained and I'm now a 7.5 which means my sisters can now borrow my shoes. I'd to go back down.

My feet have always been narrow, even when my ankles were fatter and my ring sizes went up. However, in the last year or so I've gone from an 8 (UK sizing) to 9 which is tricky as most shops here go up to 8. Thankfully I've now found a couple of places that sell 9s, (Next and Long Tall Sally). I am not a runner but think that there must have been some flattening out of my arches since this is happening in middle age.

I went from an 11 wide to a 10. I still buy some shoes in 11, but those I never would have worn at all 6 months ago. My daughter, who is destined to be at least my height (5'10") or taller wears an 11 at age 12. She has a heckuva time shopping for shoes and would obviously rather not do it. I've had this discussion with many other moms and dads with kids her age. Lots of them have large feet and will need larger sizes. It seems that the only place that goes beyond an 11 is Payless. Sorry for the O/T rant...
