Jared the Subway guy made a stop in Mobile. "They don't know my last name. They just know me as Jared, the Subway guy. It's Jared Fogle."

Jared Fogle is the guy who lost almost 250 pounds after eating Subway for a year."With losing weight, you gotta work hard. You gotta get focused and determined. Only you can want it for yourself."

Subway loved his story so much, they hired him.

News 5's Tiffany Craig asked, "What is your job exactly?" Jared answered; I guess my job title is Spokesperson of Subway."

These days, Jared's more like a sandwich superstar. "So do you have handlers? Of course! How many handlers do you have? Lots..."

He admits that he doesn't "Eat Fresh" everyday but still has a favorite. "Sweet onion chicken teriyaki. Toasted on honey oat bread with sweet onion sauce, lettuce, pickles, green peppers, cucumbers, banana peppers and jalapenos. It's delicious."

Jared is making his way around the Gulf Coast promoting the American Heart Walk. "I got to be part of quite a few heart walks in the country which is the number one fundraiser for American Heart Association in the communities. So, I'm really excited about kicking this one off and trying to bring a record amount of money in for it."

After ten years with Subway, Jared really is all that minus the bag of chips!

Jared won't be around for the Mobile Heart Walk but he's hoping all of you will.

It's on March 15, 2008 and begins at the University of South Alabama.
