Tammy Slaton is celebrating a significant milestone in her weight loss journey. The star of “1000-Lb. Sisters” recently announced that she has lost a total of 500 pounds since beginning her transformation.
In a TikTok post dated August 17th, set to the inspiring tune “Rise Up” by Andra Day, Tammy appears in a clip with six other individuals who are also on their weight loss journeys. The video highlights each person’s weight loss as they enter the frame together. It shows that collectively, the group has shed 2,078 pounds, supporting each other along the way.
The 38-year-old shared her excitement in the caption, saying, “I’m so thrilled to call these amazing women my friends. I’m incredibly proud of each one of you. You’re beautiful inside and out—never forget that.”
Tammy, who stars with her sister Amy Slaton Halterman on TLC’s “1000-Lb. Sisters,” has been open about her health struggles since the show began airing in January 2020. After undergoing bariatric surgery in July 2022 and spending over a year in a weight loss rehabilitation facility, she has continued to document her progress on social media and television. By December 2023, Tammy had lost a total of forty-eight pounds.
Beyond her physical transformation, Tammy has discussed how her journey has positively impacted her mental health. In a February TikTok, she shared, “Before rehab, I was very unhappy and struggled with severe depression. I’ve seen significant personal growth in how I interact with others and my outlook on life. I find myself smiling more and feeling happier.”
Tammy also celebrated various personal achievements during her journey. “I’ve been able to enjoy activities like going on rides at Disney World and even riding in a hot air balloon,” she noted. “I now appreciate life much more than I did before.”
A few months later, in April, she posted a poolside photo with her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle. Her openness about her journey has resonated with her followers, with one commenting, “The transformation is incredible! I’m so moved by your progress. It brought tears to my eyes.”
Tammy’s weight loss journey has been closely followed by fans since the show’s debut. After her bariatric surgery in mid-2022, her transformation continued to be featured on TV and social media. By the end of 2023, she weighed around 285 pounds, having lost 440 pounds in total.
In June, she shared a picture on Instagram wearing a floral dress. Later that month, she posted a group photo with her brother Chris Combs and YouTuber Chelcie Lynn.
On July 1, Tammy paid tribute to her late husband, Caleb Willingham, who had passed away. She posted heartfelt throwback photos with the caption, “Rest in peace, sweet angel. You will be deeply missed and forever loved. Thank you, Caleb, for showing me true love and happiness.”
