Synopsis

Gettinger starts the show weighing more than 477 lbs (she originally weighed over 700 lbs.) Ruby works with nutritionists, doctors, and trainers to lose weight, all the while commenting honestly and often humorously about the experience. The show also deals with the everyday life issues a morbidly obese person can face, such as the difficulty in using airplane bathrooms.

The first season featured one one-hour episode and eight half-hour episodes. The second season featured the same number of episodes as the first season, with mostly half-hour episodes, and a few one hour episodes.
