We need Tom to be around for many years. You look great! Kudos!
Mean spirited fat shaming is wrong, but fat criticism is not. It is scientifically unhealthy to be obese. I'm 80+ pounds overweight, and really need to do something about it. Props to Tom for doing an awesome job.

Mr. Skilling makes WGN as great as it is. Remember watching him every day for 12yrs while I loved in Chicago. So happy that he's healthy and feeling alive. Couldn't happen to a better human being.
Way to Go Tom! It’s incredible how different he looks now!
I was so worried about him because he's such an icon for WGN. He did the right thing and he looks great. Love ya Tom
God bless Tom Skilling. Humanizing and inspiring story. Glad to see him living a better healthier life. It's motivating.
I love Tom Skilling and will miss him. Hope he's training the next generation to do it right!
I’m happy Tom is feeling happy and healthy but he has never been an embarrassment to himself or his station! He has been the best weatherman in the country for years and his shape can never change that!
I had the gastric bypass in 2002. I was 280. I'm only 5.2 inches. 18 years later I am down to 125. The surgery was the best gift to myself and my family. It is a scary and difficult decision to make. I don't mention the surgery unless someone sees a old picture of me. If the ask I tell them. It is a personal decision that a person has to make on their own. You
Congrats Tom❗🤗
Tom Skilling is the Tom Brady of meteorologists! he needs to be around.
Tom I'am so proud of you, You go Dude. Penny Martin, Rockwell,NC
Way to go Mr. Skilling . WE NEED YOU !
My sister-in-law did the diet without the surgery and lost all her excess weight this year because I told her I hit -100 pound weight loss by cutting back quantity of food over years.

This is so sweet to see. Love Tom Skilling
He is unrecognizable. I thought I was watching FOX32 for a second.
A legend!! I grew up in Chicago in the 80’s and 90’s with Tom as our weather man! What a great person.

Looking great Tom Skilling.....
I had it in 2002. Went from 380 to 135. Just a wonderful new life it gave me. I was on my way to knee/hip replacement and diabetes, or heart issues. I had gastric bypass.
Looking great Tom! Very inspiring!
Love him ❤ Wishing him a very long happy and healthy life!🙏🏽 He's literally my favorite meteorologist ever since childhood 🤗❗
You are so loved, Tom. Congratulations and stay healthy! 💕
Good for you. Have always liked your report at any size. Super man.
Awesome Tom 👍
I am so happy he is feeling so good and healthy.. I’ve been a fan since day one- don’t even live in the area anymore.. but he’s one of my hero’s. I used to attend his Fermi Lab events and they were a huge impact on me....It’s not easy to take control and do what he did...and he’s done a great job !!!
I love Tom. I’m so happy for him. He is such an inspiration.

I need to lose weight myself so I have no room to talk, but our Governor would feel so much better if he dropped some pounds.
I wonder eating so little do you get enough nutrition?

If you are doing it the natural way, Diet and work out, you have a lot more to be proud of even with less loss.
We got 2 weeks left with him CHICAGO 😢. ENJOY RETIREMENT SKINNY SKILLING.
Its true, fat is unhealthy and good for you. God Bless!
It's all great if you can afford it.

I luv Tom Skilling and want him to be healthy so he can give us the weather forever but if Tom was a woman they would never let him get that big and if he was a black woman...... 👀
He looked a lot better when he was chubby
