I watched the premier episode this morning on the style network. It is about a woman who is struggling with weight loss and her journey to get healthy. She is 487lbs and from Georgia. It was a pretty good show. Just wondering if there are any other Ruby fans out there in Lap Band land.

Yes, I watched and enjoyed the show.

I had few questions like why they didn't talk about a CPAP machine or WLS and what is the REAL story on the nephew? He had to get a GED and move in with Ruby because his parents got a cat? Umm .... I don't think so. Maybe he's in a relationship with Ruby's roommate? I think he's gay.

If you want to see some WLS bashing - visit the RUBY forum on mystyle.com.

I read where she is getting healthy through exercise and they have her on a specific diet program that is out of Georgia. I know she doesn't want WLS but she isn't bashing it are you talking about people just chatting on a forum there?

Yes, people chatting in the forum.

Ruby has stated that she will never have WLS but she doesn't bash WLS.

I read that the show was taped in the spring and she's already lost 100lbs!

I really like this show alot.

I also am happy with who they chose for the show. She is pretty and funny and seems like a genuinely real person. This is so much better than just finding someone who fits the "stereotype."

I look forward to watching it more in the future.

I think the show was made for her - not that they had an idea and went out and found a fat person to star in it.

Her LA friend Brittany Daniels is a famous actress and she has something to do with the show. I think she's a producer.

I've seen a couple of the shows. I saw the one where her ex-boyfriend came to see her. I enjoyed the shows and I agree, she seems like a genuine person.

I'm rooting for her to rock it!!

I think I've already watched every eposide twice. Talk about a 'real' person. So nice & her face is just pretty.

I too cannot wait to see her success... she is rocking it!
