Woo hoo! Tonight I was able to remove a ring that, before I got on the wagon in May, was so tight that it wouldn't even turn! I so thought I would have to get my rings cut off, and that's what put me over the edge to getting on track. I am so grateful for this site - it really helps keep me going!

Auntie G! That's great! I think I know how much this means to you.

I haven't be able to wear my diamond engagement ring in years. And I've had my wedding band stretched as far as it will go. I can't wait till my band is loose and I can start wearing my diamond again.

Great news about your ring! Nonscale victories can sometimes mean more than the number on a scale. Being able to wear and enjoy jewelry that is special...awesome! Congrats!

That's awesome!!!

Go you, that is wonderful!

Thanks, all! This really was an important step for me!

AuntieG!
You are doing Fan-frickin-tastic!

Thanks, djay! Hey, we are so close to the elusive Onederland... I can practically taste it! And btw, Go Dan!

What a great feeling! I am in a similar boat.......bought a gorgeous ring to celebrate the big 4-0, but have since removed it because I was afraid it WAS going to get stuck. I can't wait to be able to wear it again without fear of it getting stuck on there.

Keep up the great job!

Thanks, IB, and good luck to you!

yay Auntie G

and speaking of rings..I've had my wedding and engagement rings stretched, my family ring was purchased at a larger size. They're all starting to get loose. Do I just have them sized down? I know they stretch them to make them larger, what do they to make them smaller?

Yeah, you can get them downsized. I'm not sure exactly how they do it, I guess they cut out a piece? Anyway, that's what I had done after I'd lost 107 lbs a few years ago, but then oops! Gained most of it back and the rings would not budge. This time will be different!

Congrratulations!!! I know what a thrill it is... I had a ring removal NSV a bit ago .
