1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton ‘s  extraordinary weight loss journey  has been an emotional rollercoaster. While it’s amazing that she’s lost over 400 pounds, she’s had her ups and downs. When the movie debuted in 2020, Tammy weighed 680 pounds. Despite the doctor’s repeated warnings, Tammy still gained more weight. In fact, by the time season 3 began, Tammy weighed 725 pounds. At that time, she gave up dieting and partying a lot. She seems to have no intention of losing weight.

Things changed for the 1,000 lb Sisters  season 5 star  after a health scare landed her in the hospital. After Tammy  emerged from a week-long medically induced coma, she knew that her life depended on losing weight . After entering rehab and focusing on food addiction treatment, she had bariatric surgery and lost more than 400 pounds.

Tammy went from weighing 725 pounds to 278 pounds and her entire life changed completely. Before losing weight, she rarely left the house and was a prisoner of her own body. Since losing weight,  Tammy has regained her mobility and lives a fuller, more active life . Her incredible weight loss was not without its ups and downs. Here are some of Tammy’s biggest frustrations during her weight loss journey.

Tammy Slaton deleted her Instagram due to fraud allegations

Don’t Come To The Queen

In 2021, Tammy is filming  1000 lb Sisters  season 3, but she has a lot of other things to do. The longtime influencer has set up a website to sell merchandise. She also offers her services on Cameo, a website where fans can purchase personalized messages from their favorite celebrities. Fans were unhappy with the way  Tammy was running her merchandise store, and many were angry that she didn’t handle their Cameo messages  fast enough.

Tammy đã quay lại Instagram ngay sau đó và hiện diện đáng kể ở đó những ngày này, nhưng đây là một ví dụ điển hình về  việc Tammy không thể kiểm soát cảm xúc của mình .  Tammy luôn là người nóng nảy và cô ấy luôn gặp khó khăn trong việc đón nhận những lời chỉ trích , vì vậy sự thất vọng của cô ấy đã trở thành thương hiệu cho   ngôi sao Sisters nặng 1000 lb. Kể từ đó, Tammy chủ động hơn trong các dự án kinh doanh của mình nên cô không bị buộc tội cố lừa đảo người hâm mộ của mình.

Tammy Slaton đã khóc vì nhớ Caleb Willingham

Thà yêu và mất đi còn hơn…

Tammy has never been lucky in love. Her first boyfriend on the show was Jerry Sykes, who Tammy dated for several years before the premiere of 1000-lb Sisters. They met in a BBW chatroom and talked for several years before Jerry came to Kentucky to visit Tammy during season 2. Jerry ate a lot of junk food around Tammy, which made it hard for her to stick to her diet. Making matters worse, Jerry was a married man with seven children. His wife learned about the affair when the show aired.

Then, during 1000-lb Sisters season 3, Tammy dated Phillip Redmond. Tammy met Phillip in a BBW chatroom, where he went by the name “The BBW King.” Phillip was clearly a man with a fetish for obese women, which was a threat to her weight-loss. Tammy put on even more weight during the relationship. Later during the season, Tammy and Phillip had a falling out, and Tammy alleged that Phillip was harassing her. Things got so bad that Tammy got a restraining order against Phillip.

During 1000-lb Sisters season 4, Tammy finally met a nice guy. After her health scare, Tammy checked herself into a rehab facility where she met another patient, Caleb Willingham. The two fell in love and were married in 2022, in a wedding that aired at the end of 1000-lb Sisters season 4. Unlike her past relationships, Caleb didn’t hold Tammy back from losing weight. Sadly, 41-year-old Caleb died in 2023, only six months after the couple tied the knot, due to complications caused by his obesity.

Tammy Sobbed When She Felt Like A “Burden” To Amy

Sisterly Love

When 1000-lb Sisters stars Tammy and her sister, Amy Slaton, made their television debut, they were trapped in an unhealthy dynamic. Tammy’s mobility was so limited that she needed her sister, Amy, to do everything for her. Amy and her husband, Michael, had to cart Tammy around, as well as pick up her medicine, groceries, and anything else she needed. In a clip from 1000-lb Sisters season 5 that TLC posted on their Instagram page, an emotional Tammy apologizes to Amy for being a burden.

Losing weight was the best thing that ever happened to Amy and Tammy’s relationship, because now Tammy can take care of herself.

Fun For The Whole Family

Like Tammy, Amy has lost a lot of weight over the years. When she made her television debut, she weighed over 450 pounds. In season 1 of 1000 lb Sisters  , she lost 125. Amy went through her own emotional upheaval while going through a painful divorce from her husband, Michael Halterman.

Amy and Tammy  have  also inspired several other  Slaton family members to lose weight . Amy and Tammy’s brother, Chris, had bariatric surgery in  Sisters 1000 lb  season 3 and has lost 150 pounds. Their other sisters, Amanda Halterman and Misty Slaton Wentworth, had weight loss surgery in March 2023 and have been losing weight since then. Their weight loss journey has had its ups and downs, but the Slatons have improved their health.
