Ruby is a captivating reality television series that premiered in 2008 and ran on the Style Network. The show brings to the forefront a sensitive topic often ignored in the media: obesity and weight loss, but it does so from a humanizing and empathic perspective. Ruby Gettinger, who once tipped the scales at over 700 pounds, is the heart and soul of the show. The series follows her challenging journey of weight loss and personal transformation.

The show is set primarily in Savannah, Georgia, a charming and picturesque Southern city whose beauty and grace mirror Ruby's personality. The series delves into the many aspects of Ruby's life, revealing her struggles, but also her spirit, humor, and determination.

One of the primary focuses of the show is Ruby's health. We get to witness her struggle in losing a significant amount of weight, but it's more than just about the physical challenge. Ruby is very open about her emotional and psychological struggles with food and weight. Her relationship with food is deeply personal, a lifelong battle that's manifesting in potentially deadly health consequences. Throughout the series, viewers observe how Ruby works with several professionals, including a psychologist, a nutritionist, and a team of doctors, to better understand and combat her addiction to food.

Aside from the weight loss aspect, the show explores Ruby's everyday life. Ruby is surrounded by a close-knit group of friends, referred to as her "Georgia Family," providing her with their unwavering support and love every step of the way. She shares her home with her niece and her beloved dog, ultimately creating an entertaining and heart-warming dynamic. These relationships add depth to the show, making it about more than just Ruby's weight loss journey

Ruby is a series that ran for 4 seasons (41 episodes) between November 9, 2008 and on Style
