Al Roker | Surgery | Lost: 140 lbs

American journalist and weather forecaster, Albert Lincoln Roker Jr., is NBC Today’s current weather anchor and also serves as 3rd Hour Today’s host. For more than two decades, Al has given his fans and viewers the lowdown on what’s happenings in his neck of the woods and has won 13 Emmy Awards for his efforts. He has picked up gigs on various TV shows, including Celebrity Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Despite always having a smile on his face, the 66-year-old anchor struggled with his weight behind the scenes during the early years of his career in Today. He weighed over 340 pounds and decided that it was finally time for him to make investments in a healthier lifestyle. In 2002, Al’s wife suggested that he should undergo gastric bypass surgery instead, and voila, he lost a staggering 140 pounds.
