Tammy Slaton’s Inspiring Transformation: From 717 Pounds to a New Life
Tammy Slaton, the star of 1000-Lb Sisters, has stunned fans with her remarkable weight loss journey. Raised in a challenging environment, Tammy and her sister Amy often relied on fast, carb-filled meals as their mother juggled multiple jobs. After losing their grandmother, food became an emotional crutch, leading both sisters down a path of unhealthy habits.
Their lives changed in 2020 when they skyrocketed to fame with their reality show, weighing a combined total of over 1,000 pounds—Tammy alone tipped the scale at 717 pounds. But her health deteriorated, and in 2021, she was placed on life support and fitted with a tracheostomy. That near-death experience became her wake-up call.
Tammy spent 14 months at the Windsor Lane Center, where she met her late husband. In late 2022, she underwent weight loss surgery and has since shed more than 400 pounds, now weighing 285 pounds. She even had 15 pounds of excess skin removed in a recent surgery.
Today, Tammy shares her progress on TikTok, becoming a symbol of perseverance. Her transformation is proof that change is possible, no matter how steep the climb.
