Sara Rue's amazing 50-pound transformation

Sara Rue, the newly-announced host of the CW's "Shedding for the Wedding," has lost a whopping 50 pounds since becoming the new spokesperson for Jenny Craig eight months ago. She hit her target of 40 lbs back in May and set her sights even lower.

"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."

In addition to eating right, Rue is also exercising. She does 45+ minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week and is in training for her first half marathon. "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."

Rue has gone from a size 14 to a size 6, so she should be slim and trim for her spring swedding to fiancee Kevin Price, a teacher.

Congrats Sara!
