I took it off for workouts. I was too afraid it would slip off my finger (since it's slightly big on me)!
I just got mine sized yesterday and it's perfect...but I was so used to it being big for the one day that I wore it before I got it sized, that I kind of hold my hand awkwardly now as if I am trying to keep it from still falling off. :p
I don't usually take my ring off ever, even when I'm working out. I know I'm not supposed to workout with my ring on, but I don't take it off and I've never had a problem with it. I always wear my jewelry all the time.
I lift so I don't really wear my ring at the gym. Funny thing is I once wore it because I was only going to do cardio and it was weird wearing it. LOL, I was so paranoid about hurting my ring (pathetic, I know).
That being said, rings are designed to take some abuse.
I wore my ring to the gym while lifting weights. I always felt like I shouldnt, but like you I didnt want to take it off! I got some scratches on the underside of the band, but that was easily buffed out by the jeweler
I take it off at the gym...too scared. I actually take it off too often to do things. I 'm just paranoid!
I wear mine always...except when I put lotion on after the shower...then it goes right back on =) On our honeymoon cruise, however, I plan to bring a 'fake' I think, just because I am so scared of losing the set. I've done fine with the e-ring on it's own since Feb., but I saw some really good CZ stand-ins @ Nordstrom Rack...
i take it off. my hands get puffy on runs, and i get clausterphobic at the thought of not being able to take it off if i need to (i know, a little neurotic). but i know the feeling of just loving it so much that you never want to take it off!
Congrats on your engagement! I remember living off champagne and cake for a couple of weeks after we got engaged ...
I do lift and do cardio when I go to the gym so I bought a pair of weight lifting gloves. They are padded where my ring is and I haven't had a problem. I think the worst thing you could possibly do is take it off and leave it in your locker or car or something, you wouldn't want to take the chance of it being stolen or lost. You are much better off keeping the ring on and risking a scratch than losing it. And if you are doing cardio you should be completely fine.
Like July said, you can have any scratches buffed out if it were to happen and anyways the scratched would be on the bottom side of your ring.
I only take it off when I go swimming. It has never fallen off or anything like that. The inside part of the band is a bit scratched, but I can always get it re-dipped if I want to (it's 18K gold). I figure it is safer to wear mine all the time rather than be taking it off for stuff and then losing it! Make sure it's insured though!
I used to leave it on all the time when I went to my NYC-based gym in a not-so-great neighborhood. I just didn't feel comfortable taking it off in front of other people, and then leaving it in my locker, even with a lock. The gym I visit now is a lot nicer, though, so I take it off and put it in a special zippered compartment in my gym bag.
I never ever leave the house without my ring on! Even for workouts.
I wear mine everywhere, doing everything (um, even spray painting. Which I don't suggest doing)!
I also get bloated during workouts, so it makes me feel clostrophobic so I don't wear it. Mine also sits up real high so I wouldnt want it to get caught on something. i wear a sterling silver claddaugh ring instead.
i used to take my ring off before hitting the gym but i missed it! and, my gym is very social and i was uncomfortable not wearing it...people would either assume there was "trouble at home" or, even worse, guys would approach! eek!
I don't take mine off to work out. I don't worry about it too much, and I check on it multiple times to make sure it's fine 
I NEVER take mine off to work out, even to lift weights. My 3 are on tight (yep, 3 bands and if they knocked against each other, the diamonds would scratch. I don't want that to happen in my gym bag),. The weights aren't going to hurt it, save a few scratches. I'ts going to get worn eventually, you might as well enjoy it under the bright gym lights =]
I take mine off when I'm lifting anything metal because it scratches up my ring and makes the ring push on my finger and it hurts.
I NEVER wear my ring to the gym. EVER. I would be completely distraught should something happen to it.
I usually wear my ring during workouts, b/c I go to the gym directly after work and already have my ring on. I'm just not comfortable leaving it in a locker, even with a lock!
It depends on the workout. For cardio/weights, I always keep it. We both do karate and it's mandatory to take it off at the dojo for safety. It is honestly the only time I take it off. When I go swimming I take it off also, but only to put it on my necklace so it stays with me. 
I NEVER take mine off! Even when lifting weights I just wear gloves over my ring so it won't get scratched!
I only wear my wedding band to the gym not my engagement ring. We specifically got my wedding band durable enough to handle all the moving I do at the gym. I also wear gloves when i lift weights because I usually lift and do weights for almost an hour so my hands get callused really easy. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
I only take my ring off at the gym and lock it into my locker when I am going to be lifting or using the rowing machine.
I also take mine off for way too many things. Before I shower ... if I'm cooking something that I have to get my hands into, etc.
Usually I keep it on for working out unless I plan to do a lot of lifting (lol which is very rare)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
as an "engaged" woman. i work out 3-5 times a week usually...and yesterday/today have been total doozies for me in the "put anything that tastes good in my mouth" department. that involves pizza, candy, chocolate, mexican food, macaroni....UGH! i can't help it...I am just SOOO happy and I haven't seen my FI (!!!) since he proposed because we have been horrifically busy with our schedules. I am filling the lonliness with clogged arteries!
So, now i'm going to the gym...and honestly, I CANNOT take off my e-ring. I CAN'T. I keep telling myself I need to, but I can't make myself do it. I won't be lifting...I usually just run and do a lot of cardio because when I used to lift I got HUGE!!! Any of you other ladies work out with your ring on? Maybe it will just be a one-time thing, but I am nervous...lol. And I always have brought wedding mags with me before. Now I will be legitimately reading them!
But still...bad, bad idea? :|
