Does anyone watch 'Ruby'?

Anybody watching this?  I saw it for the first time last night.  Here's a link if you don't know what I am talking about:

tv.msn.com/tv/series/ruby.3/

Basically - this lady is over 500lbs and doing the diet and exercise routine to lose - she's down 100 in about 8 months or so.  She's got a GREAT personality - but I wonder if this program she is on is really going to work long term for her.

Anybody remember the guy that hosted the Low Cab Kitchen series?  Whatever happened to him?  He lost like 75 or so lbs then stopped making the show and no one ever said anything - but they still run reruns - what up with that?

gurl get outta my pew - i lovededed me some Ruby - more than anything i love her personality and spirit and that she doesn't let other people's perception stop whatever she wants to do.   did you see the entire marathon? she believes something happened to her as a child that made her erase years of memories - there's an entire block of time she's missing.   oprah asked her why not surgery? she said i'm not condeming anybody else's decision but i need to find out what happened that change me, surgery won't do that.   i hope she makes it, i love her.

is the low carb chef Blaine?  chile please he someplace getting his colon pumped out.   was his stuff under 20 carbs a day something like that? am i mixing up shows? low carb is excellent if you can do it, i (personally) haven't come across the human who can give up bread, rice, pasta, more bread forever. not for evah, evah.  i did used to like to see what he'd come up with next tho. 

dayum, i logged on to ask about a food tracker - i need a site more user friendly than dailyplate, suggestions? 

eta, thank you for the suggestion PM, i'm going right now!

Marlo, have you looked at FitDay.com? 

Dat Blaine's food always has too much going on! Puree this, food processor that......man gimme a recipe that I can just make without all dat extra!!! I like the cook yourself thin show better. See now y'all got me curious to see what happened to him.......to Google!!!

And I've heard of Ruby............but I have basic basic basic cable and that network aint included in my price

oh fitday or sparkpeople or maybe its just sparkle? lol

I flipped past her show once as they showed her walking away in the park.  I remember saying out loud, "Dayum, the white chick's got a big azz back there!" 
Then she turned around and all hell broke loose...  OMG!!! 

I don't think I've ever pressed the up/down button on my TV remote so fuggin' fast in my entire life!!!  

Then she turned around and all hell broke loose...  OMG!!! 


I dont understand your response?  Why did you change the channel so quickly?  I think Ruby is pretty...

....and I think you need your eyes checked.  I don't think she's attractive at all facially.

I watch it.  I hate to be negative but I think she's going to put that weight back on plus some once she figures out what the traumatic event was.  When you are an emotional eater all it takes is something traumatic to set you off again.  I think a combination approach of therapy and WLS would work for her.  But she needs to do what she thinks is best for her.  I'm an emotional eater and know darn well I would have fallen off the wagon by now if I didn't have the sleeve to stop me. 

I watched the entire season. Can't wait for the next one. I like her. I won't spoil it for you as to how the season ended.

I am not a fan of prepackaged meal plans so I am not sure how successful she will be int he long term. We gotta learn to handle regular food and cooking on your own. Every one I have known that has went through one of those type of plans gained all their weight back plus just as soon as they stopped eating those prepared meals.

She is entertaining and at least they show her doing every day routine things and not just working out like life does not exist.
