Ruby: A Journey to Lose the First 100 Pounds

"Ruby: A Journey to Lose the First 100 Pounds" is an inside look into the life of Ruby Gettinger, who has struggled with her weight since she was a child and is now morbidly obese. Rudy has lost and gained hundreds of pounds over the years in her seesaw battle of the bulge. Today, she weighs over 400 pounds...and it's killing her. Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, Rudy has been told by her doctor that she has to lose the weight if she wants to live. "Ruby" chronicles what may be her last chance to take off hundreds of pounds in an attempt to save her own life. Style has assembled an expert team to help Ruby do it: a trainer, nutritionist, a therapist, and a physician - whatever, and whoever, it takes.
