Tammy Slaton reaches teenager weight

Tammy was asked by Dr. Eric Smith if she “ever thought she would see the day.” She said: “The last time I weighed this low, I was like 15, 16.”

The number on the scale is significantly less than her highest weight of 725lbs. She started out around 600lbs at the beginning of the series, though her weight fluctuated as the show went on.

While she got down into 500lbs by the end of the inaugural season, she gained it back during the pandemic. Tammy had her surgery in July 2022 and now weighs 285lbs.

Her weight loss: ‘I freaking did it’

Tammy never thought she’d see 420lbs on the scales, but she “really freaking did this.” She finally got a reality check after she was rushed to hospital and was warned about her high risk of death at 700lbs.

The 37-year-old was born at 9lbs 10oz but kept gaining during her childhood. Their mother, Darlene, worked three jobs to support her kids, but Tammy and Amy Slaton kept gaining weight.

“The microwave was our best friend,” Tammy told People. “Ramen noodles, bowls of soup, things that were quick and easy — stuff that adds on carbs.” Now though, she has changed her entire life.

1000-lb Sisters star lost 100lbs in six months

Tammy was so dedicated to losing weight that even after surgery, she lost 100lbs in six months. Before stepping on the scales, she expressed how she was “so worried about the number.”

She’s remained dedicated to the weight loss journey on social media, revealing that she now only really drinks water, which is a stark difference to the eight to 12 cans of soda she used to consume.

The 1000-lb Sisters star has been sending Cameos to multiple fans, which makes it even clearer how many more pounds she’s lost even since the show’s season 5 was filmed.
