Tammy Slaton is commemorating her most recent weight loss achievement.
The 1000-Lb. Sisters actress recently declared that, since starting her journey, she had shed 500 pounds in total.
In a TikTokvideo from August 17th, synced to the motivational music “Rise Up”by Andra Day, Tammy responds to a shot that shows her and six other “weight loss warriors” entering the screen. On-screen lettering highlights each person’s weight loss as they move. The video demonstrates that the buddies shed 2,078 pounds together as they raised each other in tandem and clasped hands.
“Truly absolutely amazing ladies, and I’m happy to call y’all all my friends,” the 38-year-old wrote alongside the clip. “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.”
Tammy, who co-stars with her sister Amy Slaton Halterman in the TLC series 1000-Lb. Sisters, has shared details about her health struggle since the show’s premiere in January 2020. After undergoing bariatric surgery in July 2022 and spending 14 months in a weight loss rehab center, Tammy has persisted in sharing her weight loss journey on social media and on TV. By December 2023, Tammy had shed forty-eight pounds.
She not only shares her weight reduction story but also discusses how the experience has improved her mental health.“Before I went to rehab, I was just bitter, unhappy, and very suicidal depressed,” she said in a February TikTok. “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.”
Alongside such advancement, the reality star also commemorated other achievements.
“I actually got on rides [at Disney World.] And I rode in a hot air balloon,” Tammy continued. “I value life now, where before I hated it. I hated everything about life.”
She posted a photo of herself at the pool with her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle, a few months later, in April. Her openness in sharing her tale has also touched her fans. As one person commented, “Holy wow! The transformation is incredible! I am so happy to see how far you have come. I may have cried a little.”
