Does everyone remember Jared? He’s the guy who lost 240 pounds by eating Subway for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s been about 8 years since Subway revealed to the world Jared’s new slimmer look. Recently I have been seeing Subway commercials that congratulate Jared on his 10 year anniversary of keeping it off. I am so proud of Jared. Losing so much weight and maintaining a weigh loss of that magnitude can be an insurmountable feat for anyone.

Recently I have embarked on my own Jared-esque weight loss journey. My diet is not as Subway rich as Jared’s was, but I do eat there just about everyday for lunch.

In my local Subway, there is a larger than life cardboard replica of the skinny Jared holding up a pair of his fat pants. Every time I go in there, I rub his flat cardboard belly for inspiration and good luck. The folks in there think I am loony. But I tell them, loony or not, that belly rub is working or me.

I don’t know if it is the belly rubs or the subs or maybe the combination of the two, but over the past thirty days I have lost about five pounds. That is little more than a pound a week! If I keep it up, I might get myself a spot on TV commercial right next to my Subway hero.

And despite my obvious intention of using Subway to help me attain my weight loss goals, I actually like the food. It beats those microwaved Lean Cuisines and Health Choices. Hands down, no competition… it’s more filling and tastes better.

Typically I get the same thing every time I visit Subway. My favorite sandwich is sweet onion chicken teriyaki with Swiss cheese on a 6 inch slice of honey oat French bread. I like it topped with sweet onion sauce, black olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, three jalapeno peppers (just 3 else my mouth would be on fire) and extra spinach leaves (I like to get the extra spinach for the added antioxidant, vitamin A and vitamin K)

And man, do I love this sandwich? My mouth is watering as I think about it. The bread is freshly baked. The veggies are crisp and flavorful. And the whole thing only costs me 384 calories and 9.5 grams of fat.

Anyway since I’ve been eating out for lunch everyday at Subway, I’ve been on the hunt for ways to stretch my subway dollars. Because Subway is a franchise, you may not be able to use the same coupons in every location. But here is what I found:

Subway coupons for select Florida restaurants

Subway coupons for select New Jersey restaurants

Subway coupons for select Utah restaurants

Subway coupons for select California restaurants

Many locations now sell the most popular foot long subs for $5, at some restaurants every foot long is only $5
