    2. Darling Ruby~ I just finished watching the episode in which you kayaked for the first time-I am so proud of you for not letting your fear stop you! You are just breaking those barriers day by day and it makes my heart sing! I am also on a journey to get fit and drop the weight (about 125 lbs all together) and your kindness and sweet spirit give me the attitude adjustment I need when I get discouraged. Thanks for being "out there" and risking your anonymity to be an inspiration for so many people. If you are ever in Southern California -ya'll come visit! Mi casa es su casa!T

    4. Ruby Ruby... I am your biggest fan... I love watching your show. You have the best personality and the best outlook and you are sooooo pretty. I wish you the best in your weight loss endeavors as I try to embark on my own... Oh and by the way... I don't like Dr. Brewerton either... major attitude and chip on his shoulder.. I think he has a crush on you but wants to control you as well. Definitely find another therapist. Beth in North Carolina

    5. Hi Ruby! You are so beautiful ** Your eyes and smile are just gorgeous!! I love your show and am very inspired to keep on trying to lose weight and feel better about myself. Your southern charm and the way you flirt a little now that you feel better about yourself are so cute to watch. You are such a sweet person and I believe you will find a great guy and have a child someday. The Lord can do anything! He has blessed my life beyond imagination. You MUST be faithful to Him and He will in time give you the desires of your heart. Hang in there girlfriend. Lots of love, Darlene

    7. Ruby I just started watching this summer. You are an amazing person. You inspire me. Ten years I got married and have now been divorced for 7 years; my family even disowned me because one they did not approve of him and second I was catholic and divorce is not a word in their dictionary. All I have now are my dogs. I am so sorry for your loss with Lucy. It is very hard but she is in heaven running around having fun. Again Ruby you are amazing.

    9. RUBY! After all of the weight loss shows out there, YOURS has become the one and only one to inspire me to continue my battle with my weight.I cried like a little baby at the loss of your sweet dog! I, too, have "children" of the four-legged variety and when they pass, I feel like part of me has died.Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to your book **

    11. Dear Ruby,I watched your show for the first time the other day. I was disappointed when I saw you get on your Bike without a Helmet. You are not being a responsible adult. Please where a helmet. You are not protecting yourself against a possible injury. A bike fall head injury could kill you or suffer brain damage injury. Look how hard you have worked to get your weight under control, and now you go on a bike without protecting your HEAD. What... can?t mess the hair for TV?Oh my goodness. Please be responsible, and wear a helmet the next time you get on your bike.

    13. Ruby,I just watched the episode that Lucy was sick. Then I read your blog that she had passed away. I'm so sorry. That sounds so bad, because words cannot ease your pain right now. All I can say is that you will only learn to deal with the loss day by day. It is not something that you ever get over. The pain is so hard I believe, because the LOVE is so strong. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. You have a great head on your shoulders and I love your friends. That was so freaky when "What is the Truth" was on that blackboard! I found out that I was always talking to God, but when I started "listening" he was telling me things. Just like what happened that day. Good Luck to you and God Bless you Ruby!

    15. Hi! I really want to just get a message to Ruby * I hope you read this for real. I have kittens * cats (their all grown up but they'll always be kittens to me * just like Lucy was your puppy). I feel every bit of your pain because I recently lost one of my precious babies (and I'm crying as I write this). I know this information is coming too late for Lucy, but you kept saying that you couldn't imagine not seeing her any more. There is a solution to that. It's possible to freeze dry your pets after they pass and you don't have to be without them. I know it sounds a little bizarre and is not necessarily the solution for everyone, but if you are interested in "talking" to me about it for future reference please email me. It was a was the right solution for me with my baby and from a few of your comments, I think it might be something you might want to think about.Please accept my condolences in regards to Lucy. You know, of course, that she's all better now. I hope to hear from you.

    16. Ruby, you Rock! You inspire so many people. You mentioned having surgery. I am telling you do NOT do it. My daugther, 31, had a knee problem. We saw the Dallas Cowboys and the Dallas Stars head ortho. dr. He told her to loose weight. She had a bypass in Tyler, Texas. She died 17 months out and yes she lost weight, but she is gone now. Never have any weight loss surgery. You are doing great. I must get busy and dump my 80 pounds. Go Ruby!

Please keep doing what your doing.You have given me the courage to start my weight loss battle again. I am an emotional eater,so I know what its like to be starving when your sad,happy, depressed, lonely,etc...I watch you all the time.I laugh with you,cry with you,and I do know how you feel about your memories,Idont remember alot of my childhood either. You inspire people,you make us laugh, and you get us in touch not just with our feelings, but with yours also. You truely a gift Ms. Ruby, and I hope to see you for a long time.

    20. Ruby. I am newly unemployed and have found your show a couple months ago. I am really rooting for you. I do not go on message boards etc., but I just had to when I saw you lost your dog, Lucy. I don't know if anyone has told you this, but the best thing to do when you lose a pet is to get another pet. Some people may think it means you don't care about the pet you lost. It's not like that at all. A new puppy will need you and love you and cheer you up. Plus your other puppy will be glad to have a new playmate. She may get lonely that Lucy is gone too. Being cheered up by the new puppy that needs you will also make you happy so that you won't feel like you want to eat all the time. Good Luck!!!

It was the darkest days of my life, living with that secret. Today, I have been bulimic free for 8 years. I don't have all those secrets anymore weighing me down. I sought out the help I needed. I know how much pain you may be feeling and although you have a great support system I would love to be your friend with no expectations, except to help you get through the days ahead. You are an inspiration!!!!! And I know with all my heart that you will beat this and that your future has never looked so bright!!!!God Bless!Your Friend,Karen

I know how that is...we lost our precious dog aftr 14 years! Still not over it!!! Tell Ruby for me to keep up the good work...and continue with her mammograms and Gyno check-ups! Also, Ruby has so many really great friends * many people don't have ANY friends like she has...and her Fat Women Nights are great too! Also, as wonderful as she is, she won't have any trouble finding a truly good hearted, great man * ***** just show up for her one day....but it's NOT her old boyfriend, who dumped her because of her weight...how shallow!!! Now that she's looking good again * and on the road to a great weight * here he comes! I don't think so!! When her show is off the air * for a little break * tell her we're still here, waiting for her successfl return to TV!!! Too cute and sweet...true Southern belle! June from Houston

    25. Dearest Ruby,I feel like I know you completely. We have similar stories. I am 49 years old, mom of two boys and wife. I weighed (a lot), but within the last 2 years, I have lost l28 pounds. I feel like a million. It is a whole new life, normal and complete. It is amazing how weight can distort everything in your life. I watch your show because it continues to encourage me to keep the weight off. I am praying for you, truely! You have become a friend to me. I wish we were neighbors. I must say before I end....I think the man you have waited your whole life for if Jeff. He is so sweet and kind to you. Perhaps there is more there than you think. You keep going....no matter what that darn scale says. You are a beautiful young woman and you deserve to feel pretty and free of extra poundage. I'd like to write to you again sometime soon. Let's encourage each other. Blessings to you, Sincerely, Darlene

    35. Greetings Ruby!I watched my first episode of your show where you all are at the camp. The final weigh in before you left disappointed you. I loved your attitude! Stay strong!One thing I learned about weight loss is that your muscle weight more than fat * this is where your body mass index comes into play. I bet you lost a few inches during that week. Between your doctor, and a reputable trainer, and your determination, you all can come up with a sensible routine that will help shrink the fat, increase your muscle and have the weight continue to come off.Hang in there! You are beautiful and ARE an inspiration!EPS I used to weigh 220 and am now a svelte 140. Thanks to my doc, I have discovered that I am at the low end of the ideal weight for my height and build.

    36. Hi Ruby, I very much admire your strength and perseverance in reaching your goals. I have seen your show and find it quite interesting that you cannot remember your childhood. I personally believe that many of our troubles later in life can be attributed to childhood circumstances. With that being said, have you ever thought of hypnosis? I have known quite a few people who have been able to remember certain things from their past that have helped them to overcome things such as anxieties, fears, depression, etc. I figured it would be worth a shot to mention. You are doing such a great job! Keep up the good work! Best wishes to you, Jocelyn

    38. I am trying to lose weight and just watched the show where you were at the kids' camp. You have obviously learned so much about the value of exercise, but even on your slow walks you were CARRYING your dog. During the whole episode, she was carried around like a purse and her feet never touched the ground. For HER to remain healthy and fit, she needs exercise just like you do, and I strongly suspect you could not do any speeds or distances that would be beyond her own abilities. Good luck in the future, but please put down the dog and let her walk with you.

    39. Hello RubyPlease stick to one scale. If you tried 4 scales on the same day, you would get 4 different results.You also should wear the same clothes and get weighed around the same time. When you weighed in, this time it may have been shortly after eating and the last weigh in may have been before eating. Don't give up. You and your journey are inspirational in some unexpected ways! May you always feel the HUGS coming your way.

    43. Dearest Ruby,I'm a big fan. I never miss a show and sometimes watch repeats. You're such a beautiful creature inside and out. I'm pulling for you every step of the way. I'm a compulsive over eater and food addict in recovery through 12 Step Programs. I know that we cannot break anonymity in print and media....but hope you're in one without naming which one. I've learned that for me, food and weight are the symptoms of bigger issues... my inability to accept life on life's terms, surrender people, places, things and events I cannot control, and trust a power greater than myself to take care of my needs.....not necessarily my wants. I also know it is about loving people as they are and not as I want them to be....that it is about cleaning emotional house, making amends, forgiveness and service....the craving and compulsion to overeat left when I worked these and dropping 70 lbs is just the icing on a life of serenity and joy....good luck Ruby and keep on keepin on...

Now this season is already over, leaving us hanging to find out what happens. When does the next season start? Keep up your journey. There are set points we encounter when we are trying to lose weight. I am at one now. I need to lose 100 lbs. I am 63 and have been diabetic for 20 years. So I do encourage you to keep working hard.

That's what the children need is encouragement to fight the beast that is within them. You encouraged them with love, example and inspiration.

    49. Animal Lover, you are a pig. People like you should be put down, not the horse. How dare you pass judgment on this lovely, inspiring young woman. You should be ashamed of yourself. Ruby, I have lost 165 lbs so far, and just had MY first horseback ride in many, many years. I went to Hawaii with my family, and it was SO liberating to be able to participate in family activities like horseback riding, parasailing, jet skiing, and just plain being able to walk and keep up with my teenage boys. I look forward to your shows and can't wait for the new season to begin. Don't you dare let the "Animal Lovers" of the world affect you, he/she is really a horse's A**.....LOL, keep it up girl, your smiling face makes me very "hacky" every week!

    50. Ruby, you have a wonderful spirit and have helped with some of my own issues. But girl can you work on the whining thing. Your are a grown women please stop making up words and the whining voice!You can do anything with your life and the weight will continue to fall off. I am an emotional eater, so at the least bit of stress, nothing is safe, even when in the back of my mind I hear that voice OH are you going to be sorry! and the voice is always right. Just know that all your hard work will and is paying off for you and you do inspire other people!
