I don't know how many of you are Ruby followers.

For those of you who don't know Ruby, Ruby was once the world's heaviest woman, I believe weighing in at nearly (or maybe it's over) 700 lbs. The Style Network gave Ruby her own show about her weight loss (and life) journey, because at 700 lbs, Ruby was not going to live unless she took hold of her weight and really changed her life.

She lost a significant amount of weight before the show started, and began the show at about 500 lbs. Now, according to an interview with Oprah last week, Ruby is down 112 lbs. from when the show started airing last year.

I enjoy watching Ruby because this woman's story truly is one of hope in my opinion-this is a woman who was at one point so heavy it was literally painful for her to get up and move to another room. In the first season of the show, she did all sorts of crazy things she had never done before because she was too heavy, including driving a car.

For you guys who are familiar with Ruby and didn't get a chance to see her interview with Oprah, I'm posting some clips on the My Style Web site below, as well as a blurb about Ruby from Oprah's Web site:
