Ruby

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'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%.

"Ruby" is a reality show. Reality for Ruby means not only losing the weight, but also trying to find out the truth of obesity and what it means in her life. There is so much to teach about this disease. The Biggest Looser is instant gratification TV. Several of those contestants gain the weight back once they no longer have the 24 hour support from trainers and nutritionists. If you had compassion, you would see that the contestants are put through hell and mentally beat down to lose weight. Obesity is a symptom of abuse. Those contestants have beat themselves up mentally their entire lives and suffer more abuse from trainers just to make a TV show for your viewing pleasure.

Ruby is undergoing intense psychotherapy while learning how to exercise and cook for herself. She is not at camp 24 hours a day sheltered from society. Ruby does not get her meals, trainers, or counselors for free. She is living her life in the real world, teaching herself and others to not be afraid of change and to face their biggest fears. She has more courage and strength than anyone I know. Ruby is inspiring people to face their addictions. What could be more inspiring than that? I hope I have inspired you to learn something about addiction and obesity. You may even learn a little empathy and compassion along the way.

I admit, being a hard-core junkie reality TV fan, I watched the first two seasons of this show on Netflix over the weekend. And while I love an underdog-beating-the-odds story as much as anyone else, by the time I was done watching, this woman really got on my nerves!

I do not look to take anything away from a woman who has taken control of an ugly addiction in her life. Ruby really made positive changes, has terrific friends (not to mention hot roommate Jeff), and has a creative mind that helps her to overcome plateaus and challenges.

Still. The incessant WHINING. Ruby's voice constantly sing-songs its way through every complaint, every triumph, and just about every turn that her life holds. RUBY.. if you are reading this, go back and watch your reruns. This is a serious flaw that can be fixed with a little effort.

That, and her annoying habit of using euphemisms, rather than just telling it like it is. "I'm so HACKY." "What the HELICOPTER." "I'm going to the Christmas doctor." Really? A grown woman who can't say the word 'gynecologist'? Seriously? The immaturity of the language is unnerving at times. She often made me want to shake her, and tell her that she makes the average 12 year old look more mature than her.

All in all, I can't give it an all bad review, as the people in Ruby's life are intelligent, entertaining, and have engaging personalities. The next time I have nothing to do on a weekend, and when more free seasons are available on Netflix, I'd probably give it a go.

Since I started watching Ruby my life has changed.

I thank God that Ruby has the want and the will power to come forward for all of us at home on our journeys!!

I joined Overeaters Anoymous and have now lost 26 pounds!! 3.5 pounds last week!!

I am so happy Ruby came to TV she started the weight journey trend. Ruby keep it up and always know you have a huge support system out here and you are NEVER alone!! I love you!! and Ill be praying all season for a huge success!! Good luck!!

Watch Ruby she will change your life!
