Weight loss reality TV star Ruby Gettinger walks with her fans at the Santa Monica Pier on Saturday, July 11, 2009, during her 'Ruby's Walk Across America' national tour. Last November, millions of television viewers got to know and love 500-pound Ruby as she shared her personal journey to lose weight on her hit Style Networks reality series, “Ruby.” Ruby's Walk Across America is her way of inspiring people of all ages and fitness levels to get out and start getting healthy. Through her public walks and appearances, Ruby hopes not only to meet her fans that have provided such amazing support during her own ongoing weight-loss journey, but also to bring people together in the fight against obesity; to promote walking as a safe and enjoyable form of physical activity; and to encourage individuals to start walks in their own community. The new season of “Ruby” began on Sunday, July 5 at 8:00 PM  on Style.
