1000-Lb Sisters: Signs Amanda Halterman's "Secret Boyfriend" Romance Is A Publicity Stunt (Is She Stealing Tammy's Spotlight?)
Amanda Halterman has become very popular in the past two years, leading to speculation she may be intentionally trying to take the place of Tammy Slaton as the main star of 1000-lb Sisters. Amanda, a 44-year-old mother of four, has always had a close relationship with her sisters, Tammy and Amy, who have struggled with obesity. However, she didn't appear on the show until 2023 because of her divorce from her former husband, Jason Halterman. Amanda made her reality TV debut in 1000-Lb Sisters season 4, where she supported her sister, Amy, through her split from Michael Halterman.
Like other family members, Amanda struggled with obesity for most of her life. She was significantly overweight as an adult, which caused her several health problems. Thankfully, Amanda acknowledged her issues and took action to become healthier. In 2014, she underwent bariatric surgery and lost hundreds of pounds as a result. However, the initial procedure didn't yield lasting results, as Amanda gained a lot of her weight back over the next eight years. This led the 1000-lb Sisters cast member to undergo gastric bypass surgery in March 2023.

Amanda's Love Life Captivates Many Viewers
Amanda has become one of the main cast members of the show within just two years. She has taken the spotlight, leading some to wonder if her goal is to surpass her sisters in popularity. Fans are particularly interested in knowing more about Amanda's new relationship.
Unlike Tammy and Amy, who have achieved their weight-loss goals, Amanda's journey focuses more on her life and future. Her split from her former boyfriend, RJ, and her new relationship, have made her one of the most intriguing cast members on the show.

While the Slaton siblings are very close, they have exhibited jealousy towards each other.
Previously, Amanda and Tammy had a major argument that led to some surprising revelations. Tammy told the cameras Amanda was envious of her because she was no longer considered the most attractive sister in the family, saying, "she's not the pretty sister no more." In addition to sibling rivalry, there were rumors Tammy may be permanently moving awayfrom Kentucky. As a result, it would make sense for Amanda to try to take over Tammy's role on the show as the main character.

Amanda Is Already Turning Heads With Her Weight Loss Makeover
Amanda may want to be a central focus of the show because her weight-loss journey is just beginning. While Amy and Tammy have already lost a lot of weight, Amanda is still in the process of becoming leaner after undergoing bariatric surgery less than two years ago. Additionally, Amanda is older than her sister and has four children, making her weight-loss journey far more crucial. Amanda's new relationship and fitness transformation are key factors that make her just as intriguing as Tammy. She has the potential to be the main character of 1000-Lb Sisters alongside her sisters.
