The reality TV show “1000-lb Sisters” chronicles the weight loss journeys of siblings Tammy and Amy Slaton. At the series’ outset, Tammy weighed over 725 pounds (51.8 stone) and faced significant mobility challenges, relying on a walker and an oxygen mask for assistance.
However, as the show progressed, fans celebrated her remarkable transformation, especially after seeing her latest swimsuit photo showcasing her weight loss achievements.
Fans have taken to social media to express their admiration for Tammy, with many praising her incredible progress. Comments from supporters reflect their pride and joy in her journey, with one noting, “Look at you, girl! That is a JOURNEY,” and another stating, “You look amazing Tammy, I’m so proud of you.” The positivity around her transformation has been overwhelming, demonstrating the support she has garnered throughout her journey.
Tammy recently shared how life-changing her weight loss has been after shedding 440 pounds (31.4 stone), bringing her down to 285 pounds (20.6 stone). She explained that seemingly small changes, like walking without a walker or fitting into a regular car without needing a seat belt extender, have profoundly impacted her life. Tammy underwent gastric band surgery in 2022, which has played a significant role in her successful weight loss efforts.
Despite the positive changes, Tammy faced a painful setback with the death of her husband, Caleb Willingham, last summer due to natural causes. They had met during rehabilitation for obesity and married in November 2022, but their marriage ended a few months later.
Despite the challenges, Tammy continues to inspire others on similar journeys through her social media posts, showcasing her progress and offering motivational messages.
