Good point about at least you lost it doing something you loved.<BR/><BR/>A woman last week lost hers (really expensive, NYC banker etc) when she took it off in the employee bathroom to wash her hands and left it on the sink! So, at least losing yours was a result of something positive (weight loss) and not just being a retard. :)Dances with Corgishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116855540826963649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21465133.post-54370314760873005912007-06-13T17:23:00.000-07:002007-06-13T17:23:00.000-07:00Sorry that you lost the wedding band. :( But, on ...Sorry that you lost the wedding band. :(<BR/> <BR/>But, on the bright side, to lose it while swimming because of not resizing when you should have after losing weight...that's probably the best scenario for losing it.<BR/><BR/>I usually take my rings off when I exercise/race/or whatever and often wear a cheap silver band because my hand feels naked and I feel awkward without the wedding ring.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21465133.post-16734558472161251622007-06-12T21:19:00.000-07:002007-06-12T21:19:00.000-07:00That's the hard thing about getting smaller, nothi...That's the hard thing about getting smaller, nothing fits, not even the ring.

Having rings resized up or down when necessary is excellent advice. <BR/><BR/>I don't have a ring I wear every single day, and that's probably a good thing. I actually have winter and summer rings.

I wear a plain gold band (the comfort fit ones are the best as they have tapered edges) and there have been times I almost lost it. I never take mine off either. When I do have it off it feels too weird and I put it back on. Sounds like you got a lot of training in this past weekend. Hope your weather is as good as ours. We are enjoying some great weather.bigmike600https://www.blogger.com/profile/16361310260625492679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21465133.post-11943630917775867052007-06-11T13:51:00.000-07:002007-06-11T13:51:00.000-07:00Hmm, wrenching winz, your answer is telling. :-)I...Hmm, wrenching winz, your answer is telling. :-)<BR/>I was the first one who knew about this unfortunately casualty of "shrinkage." After losing weight, mine used to fly off my hands when I shook them dry. I started wearing my grandmother's wedding band, which is tighter, as a ring guard on the outside, but I think we underestimated how much weight Baboo was losing.Herself, the GeekGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990186920123895227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21465133.post-6917693472976108512007-06-11T12:01:00.000-07:002007-06-11T12:01:00.000-07:00Triathlon-induced weight loss has caused me the sa...Triathlon-induced weight loss has caused me the same problem - almost lost mine at the Storrie Lake Tri last year.
