Actress Sara Rue, who became a spokesperson for Jenny Craig in December 2009, has already lost 50 pounds in eight months and she is feeling better than ever. The 31 year-old also confessed she feels more comfortable in her body, dropping from a size 14 to size 6.

Sara managed to lose weight with a healthy controlled diet (portion control) and regular exercise. For someone who couldn’t even run a mile a few months ago, Sara is now doing a 45-60 minutes cardio exercise 5-6 days a week and is practicing for her first half marathon. Go girl!

“I have such a better relationship with food than I’ve ever had in my life,” Rue tells People. “I’ve learned how to control portions, I’ve learned how to eat healthfully.”

“I spent the first few months of this program wearing my pedometer and getting in my 10,000 steps every day,” Rue says. “When I started running I would run for one minute and walk for ten. Now I can run for two-and-a-half hours straight. That’s insane! I never would have thought six months ago that I would be able to run that much.”

Sara is also planning to marry her fiancé, teacher Kevin Price in the Spring of 2011 and she was pretty excited to find out she fit in a Vera Wang wedding gown at a 70% off sale. LOL. It’s all about the small pleasures in life!

“I wandered to the back of the store where all the bride gowns were. The woman zipped it up and she had to clamp it in the back because it was too big,” Sara says, laughing. “It was just a great feeling.”

Jenny Craig is not making miracles. It’s all about control, exercise and lots of will power. Sara also got herself a new gig. She will be the host of CW’s new midseason reality show titled “Shedding For The Wedding”. How appropriate!?! Congratulations Sara! You look fabulous!
