Everyone knows Jared Fogle! Jared tipped the scales at 425 pounds while a student at Indiana University. After unsuccessfully attempting numerous diets, Jared grabbed a nutritional information brochure at his local SUBWAY® restaurant and started a reduced calorie diet by eating two SUBWAY® submarine sandwiches a day.
In a year's time, and by incorporating exercise into his daily routine, Jared lost 245 pounds. Since then, Jared has appeared in numerous commercials for SUBWAY® restaurants and has traveled throughout the world talking about the importance of proper dieting and exercise. Earlier this year, Jared embarked on the "Jared & Friends School Tour" which is designed to teach children the benefits of healthy living. Since it started, Jared has spoken to more than 31,000 students. Jared has appeared on the "Oprah" show and "Larry King Live," was the subject of a story on the CBS news program "48 hours" and was featured in the Washington Post, to name just a few.

Since Jared's commercials aired, the SUBWAY® corporate headquarters has received thousands of letters, e-mails and photos from people who have been inspired by Jared to lose weight and live healthier lifestyles. In all, these people have lost a total of 160,000 pounds! (To get an idea of how much 160,000 pounds is, it is equal to: 14,545 skateboards; 10,000 Marching band Tubas; 1,568 sets of Encyclopedias; 842 Jareds; 492 Black Bears; 426 Gorillas and 184 Grand Pianos). Now, Jared tells his remarkable story of being overweight as a child and how he decided to take control of his life and to eat right, exercise and get fit!
