Jared the Subway Guy is engaged - and off the sandwiches, apparently!

Gaining notoriety and widespread fame as the "average joe" spokesman for sandwich chain Subway, Jared Fogle has announced plans to wed his girlfriend, teacher Katie McLaughlin, this summer. Fogle proposed in November near the couple's alma mater, Indiana University.

"She's been so wonderful and caring. She's just been the most supportive woman," says Fogle. "I couldn't ask for more."

Fogle also admits that he wants to lose 40 lbs. before the summer wedding - weight he put on last year after losing a huge amount of weight on the infamous "Subway diet" in the late '90s.

This will be Fogle's second marriage - he was married in October 2001 to Elizabeth Christie, with whom he was featured in a series of Subway ads highlighting their domestic life.
