    I smiled when I first noticed the weightloss. He looks so good. So happy. Its incredible. Chicago loves you Tom!

    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.

      the people who love you and you love would be heart broken forever if they lost you because of your weight issues. what a way to go. you're better than that! and you deserve the rewards that comes with all that hard work. if no one loves you. remember that love loves you.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 !!!
