Sara Rue Slips Into Bikini For First Time Ever

Ahhhh! We’re excited!

A year and a half ago, Shedding for the Wedding host Sara Rue started the Jenny Craig diet. 50 pounds and four dress sizes later, she’s posing in a bikini for the first time in her entire life!

Said Sara:

“It’s a little strange. But after I tried it on, I thought, ‘I look good!'”

Sara has been on a 1,700-calorie-a-day diet and does cardio four days a week to lose weight.

“It’s hard. It’s a struggle. There are days where I’ll say, ‘I feel off the rails.’ But I don’t give myself excuses.”

While she’s following the Jenny Craig diet, Sara has a few tricks up her sleeve to give her an edge:

“I try not to eat animal protein after 7:30 p.m. And when I make pasta, I layer the bottom of the bowl with fresh spinach. That way you’re having the pasta, but with half the carbs.”

Congrats, Sara! You look amazing!
