A delightful reality show with heart felt commentary. Ruby has a personality that pulls you in and you are on her journey. The show focuses on a woman's perspective of being obese. Ruby, in her Southern Savannah style, smiles, jokes and cries her way into self discovery. Ruby Gettinger enjoys life. She is not ashamed of her weight,which is refreshing. Most reality TV shows stars seem to be victims. Their drama stems from the victim's plight to remain a victim. Ruby is not a victim. Ruby just smiles. Yes, she has issues, but she seems to meet them head on. A refreshing change in television.The photography on the show is wonderful. The shots of Savannah are captivating. Makes me want to live there!

Ruby is an inspiration to all us 'fat women'. She shows great courage and willpower that I've not seen before. Yes, it does include personal drama, but the bottom line is...she is exactly where many of us have been and are trying to reach a good weight and feel good. Please keep "Ruby" on the air. By viewing all of her trial and tribulations, many women and young girls are now brave enough themselves to venture out and try ways of losing weight for themselves, not for others. Losing weight is a wonderful self esteem booster that will transcend into our daily lives. By the way, isn't Michelle Obama targeting obesity as her health campaign?

Contrary to another poster, Ruby is an inspiration for everyone; not only those with weight problems, but also those dealing with dysfunctional families, damaged personal relationships, and fear! Ruby's been working exhaustively to confront her demons which include food, her mother, her father, her lost memory, her on-again/off-again boyfriend, and she never, ever gives up. She's lost hundreds of pounds and continues to push herself beyond most limitations and accomplished feats I would be terrified to attempt (and I'm a fairly normal sized, healthy woman). Ruby is definitely aware of the health risks which accompany her weight problems, and that is why she's aggressively working to change her lifestyle. But what is most enchanting, most encouraging, and most enjoyable is witnessing her adorable spirit and upbeat personality! I love Ruby, and I wish I lived near her!

Ruby's show changed my families life. I am happy to find out she will be back March 6. Why does Style take so long to show Ruby? I wish I could see her weekly it helps me to stay on track. She is an amazing girl! The best thing about Ruby she is walking the journey like the world. I would love to meet her one day and thank her! I think losing that amount of weight is great, but she will hit a wall because of her emotional issues have a major impact on weight gain and loss. What amazes me about Ruby she never gives up. The idea is to grow on this journey and that is what she is doing. Ruby's weight can come off and that is hard work!I support Ruby100%.
