Ruby Gettinger Weight Loss Motivation
We know how Ruby Gettinger is losing weight, but what made her so heavy in the first place, and what is her motivation to lose weight?
You see, Ruby is not just overweight, oh no, she is in her own league. But she has made some tremendous weight-loss progress, and in the latest interview she has revealed interesting details about her initial weight gain and recent weight loss.
What motivated you to lose weight? The biggest I’d ever been was 716 [lbs.], and they couldn’t weigh me on a regular scale. I was in shock. I thought, That is almost a freaking 1,000 lbs. I said, “That’s it. I’ve got to do something about it.”
How did you put on it on? There’s a misconception that everyone who is overweight must be eating two dozen eggs, two double cheeseburgers. I was snacking. For breakfast, I’d have Pop Tarts. Instead of a meal, potato chips and a candy bar.
You started the show [Style network's Ruby] at 477 lbs. What has changed since you lose weight? I can move more! I can get into a car. I can [walk] more than five steps without breathing hard.
What is your goal? I’m not trying to be skinny. I’m trying to get healthy and be a normal size and wear the clothes that I want, ride a bike, take a bubble bath. [source: People]

Go to Amazon and do a search for “bicycle seat,” you will see plenty of seats that will give you a good support. The seat you want is called “no pressure” or “comfort” seat.
