4. Al Roker

The famed NBC weatherman underwent a very public gastric bypass surgery in 2002 to shed unwanted pounds, after a number of diet failures. Roker has since maintained a healthy lifestyle in which he eats properly and exercises regularly. He even competed in the 2010 New York Marathon. Roker commented about the experience saying, “You’ll never see anything like it. It was frightening, exhilarating, humbling and a whole new way to look at the city I grew up in.”
