Through his book, the 58-year-old NBC weatherman aims to inspire others to lose the weight they’ve always wanted to lose, keep it off for good, and regain their health.

In "Never Goin' Back," Roker honestly and openly shares:

---The childhood teasing he endured as a real life “Fat Albert”
---The roots and causes of binge and closet eating
---Why the best advice to give someone who needs to lose weight is no advice at all
---The “Slow Method” of fitness that jumpstarted his transition from a couch potato to a marathon runner
---The strain that weight issues can put on relationships, including with friends, spouses, and children

Al Roker’s aha! moment came a decade ago. He was closing in on 350 pounds when he promised his dying father that he wasn’t going to keep living as he was. That led to his decision for a stomach bypass—and his life-changing drop to 190. But fifty of those pounds gradually crept back until he finally devised a plan, stuck to it, and got his life back.

Al Roker's "Never Goin' Back: Winning the Weight-Loss Battle For Good" is now available on Amazon.
