Ruby Gettinger, of Savannah, Ga., weighs in at 500 pounds, down from her heaviest (700 lbs), but she’s still faces life-threatening challenges.

This November, cameras will follow Ruby’s personal journey to lose weight, get healthy and battle discrimination on a new reality series, “Ruby.”

It debuts Nov. 9 on the Style Network.

Ruby is attractive, charming, charismatic and loves life. But she carries a burden. She has waged a life-long battle with with obesity.

Beyond following Ruby’s battle with obesity, episodes find her traveling to Los Angeles to catch-up with old friends ; planning her friend Georgia’s birthday; camping in Savannah; and getting a new look. 

Ordinary activities that we may take for granted, such as sitting down in chair, getting dressed and going to the movies are a constant struggle for Ruby.

Other episodes include a church revival in support of Ruby’s weight loss efforts and a moving reunion with her ex-boyfriend Denny (who left her because she could not lose weight and subsequently broke her heart).

Style will launch a Web microsite (mystyle.com/ruby) devoted to Ruby’s weight-loss journey.  It will feature additional show information and highlights, blogs and vlogs (video blogs) and behind-the-scenes interviews with Ruby, including her video tour of Savannah.
