If you lose/gain body weight, will your finger rings still fit?

[beagleboy]

I have come into some money and have been buying jewelry for myself. It feels good to not be abusing drugs and I feel presentable now.
I have also been losing allot of weight. 30lbs in 60days. To reach my target weight, I have to lose another 44lbs. I will definitively shed the pounds NO problem! I have had success before losing weight, 68lbs in two months, 35 lbs in 3 months.

My question is, and I was hoping someone could help me out with: Will my fingers shrink alot, or a little, or even at all? My weight 60 days ago was 246lbs, and I stand 5'8".

I have been eyeing some new rings, but am wary to purchase because I want them ( rings ) to fit and not slip off my fingers because they got small from losing 44lbs. I will have lost the weight in under two months from now! I just got my pass to the YMCA, and my diet is 1200 cal. aday.

**Heres a weird bit of info: When I lost 68lbs in two months, my penis didnt change in size at all. I never bothered to notice if my fingers did. My penis is cartilidge and skin, my fingers are what.........bone, skin and fat?

So, can I expect my fingers, because they are fat, and thats what I want to lose is fat, to shrink? And in doing so, my ring size will go down?

I have the titanium watch, three rings and the titanium bracelets are on next months to buy list, but I feel that I want to get rings for other fingers. I only have rings that fit on my left and right ring fingers. Theres lots of cool and new materials that manufacturers are making jewelry from.

So, if you have any experience with your rings fitting at one time, and then at another period in your life they did fit anymore, tell me. I'd like to hear about it.

Generally, fingers don't get fatty, but they do retain fluid. That's what happens when joints swell too, and feet.

There is a certain type of "fat person" that actually has more fluid retention than fat. Their whole body including 4 limbs will look puffy. If it's genuinely fat then there will be mainly belly, waist and upper leg fat. If anything else is enlarged then it's mainly body fluid (like interstitial fluid), and this relates to kidney and heart functions.

If it's the fluid retention type of obesity, then caloric restriction will make it worse because the heart and kidneys are likely already deficient, so the net effect will be reduced metabolic function. If it's fat then modifying the diet to reduce fats and refined carbs, plus exercise, will help.

So the short answer to your question is: if your "fat" is actually edema, then yes your fingers should shrink as you get healthier; if your weight is caused by genuine fat, then no it won't make much difference.

Ok, thats a good answer. I dont suffer from edema, so I'll weight a few months until I lose the weight and then by the properly fitted rings. thx

I agree. Your fingers will not be the same size after losing 70+ pounds.

Good luck and congrats on your weight loss so far. Let me know if you want me to re-open this thread, although it seems you have reached a decision.
