2. Jared Fogle
He may be in some serious legal trouble now, but there was a time when Jared Fogle’s story was truly inspiring. Fogle is still known as “the Subway guy,” because he developed his own diet, which included Subway sandwiches, to lose 245 pounds in just one year. Fogle’s original weight was 425 pounds, and he started the weight loss program while he was in college. Jared Fogle definitely helped boost Subway’s business, especially at a time when the restaurant was struggling to make their healthy menu items popular. When Subway was accused of using bread that contains harmful chemicals, the restaurant’s partnership with Fogle remained intact. However, when Jared was associated with a child pornography ring recently, he was ordered to pay $1.4 million in restitution.
