The Style Network has launched a new reality show, Ruby.

The focus is a woman, Ruby, from Savannah, GA who estimates her weight at 500 pounds. The Ruby Show will follow her journey to lose weight. We'll be following her progress at Kimkins and cheering her on.

The first episode premiered this week. There's some heart tugging moments like when she says her underwear costing $30 per pair because of the extra fabric needed. Or the bricks placed under her bed so it doesn't collapse. She visits friends and can't fit into the chairs at the kitchen table so she eats alone on the couch. One of her personal goals is to eventually fit in her bathtub.

During the episode her thin friend visits from out of town and takes her on a less-junk food grocery shopping trip. Ruby also met with a doctor who told her she would die if she didn't lose weight. She began a diet and told her friends she could already feel the negative personality change coming on (probably food remorse).
