1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has changed so much since she made her television debut in 2020. Her recent message to fans is a tribute to how far she's come. The beloved unscripted show follows 38-year-old Tammy and her 37-year-old sister, Amy Slaton, as they pursue their health and fitness transformations. During the show's pilot episode, Amy and Tammy weighed over a thousand combined pounds, but they've since dropped an incredible amount of weight.

Tammy would ultimately weigh over 725 pounds. After falling sick, Tammy got bariatric surgery and dropped an incredible amount of weight. Since losing weight, Tammy has focused on pursuing her goals and inspiring others to do the same.
