Tammy Slaton, star of TLC’s 1000-Lb. Sisters, recently revealed that she has lost a remarkable 500 pounds since beginning her weight loss journey.
In an uplifting TikTok video posted on August 17th, Tammy, along with six other “weight loss warriors,” showcases their combined achievement. Set to the empowering song “Rise Up” by Andra Day, the video features on-screen text highlighting the total weight each person has lost as they join hands and move together. Collectively, the group has lost an impressive 2,078 pounds.
Tammy, 38, expressed her pride and admiration for her friends in the caption, writing, “Truly absolutely amazing ladies, and I’m happy to call y’all all my friends. I’m so proud of each and every one of y’all. Not only are you beautiful on the inside, but you’re gorgeous on the outside. Never forget.”
Since the premiere of 1000-Lb. Sisters in January 2020, Tammy, who stars alongside her sister Amy Slaton Halterman, has been open about her health struggles. After undergoing bariatric surgery in July 2022 and spending 14 months in a weight loss rehab center, she has continued to document her weight loss journey on social media and television. By December 2023, Tammy had lost 440 pounds, bringing her weight down to approximately 285 pounds.
Tammy’s journey isn’t just about physical transformation; she’s also shared how her mental health has improved. In a February TikTok video, she opened up about her emotional growth, saying, “Before I went to rehab, I was just bitter, unhappy, and very suicidal depressed. I personally have seen a lot of growth within myself and how I treat people and my family. And just my attitude and how happy I seem. I smile a lot more.”
In addition to her weight loss, Tammy has celebrated other life milestones. She shared that she experienced new adventures, including riding on rides at Disney World and taking a hot air balloon ride. “I value life now, where before I hated it. I hated everything about life,” she said.
Tammy’s openness has resonated with her fans, who have been inspired by her transformation. One follower commented, “Holy wow! The transformation is incredible! I am so happy to see how far you have come. I may have cried a little.”
