It seems like Jared Fogle, the guy from Subway, is gaining weight. I saw the newest commercial for some new sandwich advertisement and I couldn’t help but wonder why they hired him in his ballooned state. Looks like he couldn’t take starvation any longer…yoyo! Maybe this time he’ll actually workout and eat healthy.
The bastard blames his initial weightgain on Nintendo. I play more videogames than the entire population of Japan. I can’t stand it when people create excuses for being fat. Accept it’s your own fault and do something about it.
Yeah we were talking about this at work this past week. Somebody brought up Subway and how Jared lost all that weight. I rolled away from my desk, faced everyone, and said “yeah, but he’s still a fatass”.
It’s great he, and others have lost weight. Keeping up on it has to follow!
The way I heard about the initial weight loss is the sandwiches he ate were veggies on plain bread with no condiments except for mustard. Can’t recall if it was for 2 or 3 meals a day.
His exercise was walking, how much, never heard.
He didn’t grow up fat, and his father is a doctor. I wonder if he had anything prescribed to help fight being hungry?
So eating what sounds like a zero fat diet and walking after a weight gain from inactivity worked in his case.
My case is different, or so I think!
I grew up the fat kid (in my day I was THE ONLY fat kid, now they are everywhere)everyone always beat up all the way from 1st grade. Lost the weight starting when I was 20. My freshman year in high school I was at 262# up to who-knows-what at graduation, and got down to 168# when I was 22.
After 20 years and a string of injuries accumulating since 1998, I have gained a lot of weight back.
That’s how I found this site a year or so ago. Looking to recover and regain strength.
It will happen if I can go for more than a few months between taking myself out one way or another.(Today I was released to lift 1 (one!) pound six weeks after a rotator cuff tear surgery, the latest injury).
Keeping it off took weight training and running 12 miles a week. If I wanted to eat anything resembling a satisfying and healthy diet, anyway.
As for the Jared thing, for me…I would have been constantly hungry, wanting to sleep all of the time. When awake, in a rage ready to rip into anyone for the slightest of things, though I was too weak to have even taken on Jared.
Those were my results to a doctor monitored 800 calorie diet.
Do people normally weighted into adulthood have the same problem of regaining weight. Having grown up fat I always wonder if they have it the same, or easier than me.
kronk, the point was that Jared is regaining weight. He blames outside sources for his weight. At my worst I’ve been 275lbs with less muscle than a starving emo and never once did I think it was anyone’s fault but my own.
Why is he still the spokesman for Subway and their weightloss…just seems like bad advertising to me. Unless you want to look like Peter Griffin that is.

Scott, we are saying the same thing.
Reread the first two lines of my post. I just put too much of me in the rest of the post.
I don’t know at what point he would be fired from his contract over appearance.
Neither of us blamed anyone for our being fat, as Jared did with Nintendo.
I blame my injuries caused to myself over a period of years for my weight regain. Also that I am here to educate myself to help correct that fault in myself.
Last, I wondered openly if those of us who grew up fat (I was the fat kind from 1st grade on) are more prone to weight regain than someone who got fat as an adult.
None of it was intended to take things off the topic of Jared getting fat again.

Jared aside, Subway is a great place to eat when bulking. You can buy a single sub that has more than 1,000 relatively ‘clean’ calories.[/quote]
I agree. Subway rocks, but the Jared angle is well, “so-played”.
