Will Losing Some Weight Make my Ring Fit Better?

It might help if you lose weight, my fingers got skinnier when I lost some weight. It depends on how fat your fingers are before you lose weight. Fingers and joints are prone to swelling, especially as we age, so it might not help to lose weight at all.

Hmmm - I think some people hang the ring in a chain around the neck. Can't lose it so easily. When I was young, a jeweler made a too big ring smaller. Now, when I am a lot older, I can only use it on my little finger, but I don't like using rings anyway, so I might sell it. I am drinking cranberry juice and it helps getting rid of some water in the body.. But maybe you have not that problem.. I read somewhere that a thyroid problem might cause swelling too, but I am not sure of what kind of thyroid problem can cause that. I have a slow thyroid and my ankles are swelling, but the fingers are not very swollen. It is actually better as I am eating Kelp from A. Vogel.

Your fingers do swell in the heat from water retention as well as weight gain. You seem to eat so healthy I cannot imagine you retaining fluids, but I guess it happens. My fingers go up and down in this weather as well. I think some of it depends on what I eat. Less salt, more fruit and more activities seems to help. Even when I do not lose weight.

Of course losing weight will help your ring to fit better! When you lose weight, you lose it everywhere mostly. I lost 20kg a few years back when I started eating healthier and I had to get my wedding resized by quite a few sizes due to my fingers being a lot skinnier. It just kept falling off all the time beforehand. When they resized it, they had to re-engrave it due to losing some of the text engraved inside it.

If the ring you have fit you fine, and you haven't gained any significant weight, then you probably are "puffy" from the heat. Once it cools down your ring should fit fine. However, if you've had the ring for awhile and since you received gained 10, 20, 30 or more pounds then losing weight might help. I know I tend to yo-yo with my weight, and I gained 50 pounds before I had to drop some weight to help my engagement ring fit better again. So for me gaining actually up to 40 pounds has no affect on my fingers. The heat however, makes my fingers blow up like little balloons.
