Tammy Slaton, star of TLC’s 1000-Lb Sisters, just hit a huge milestone in her weight loss journey, and fans are stunned by her progress. After years of battling food addiction, health issues, and personal struggles, including the tragic loss of her husband, Tammy has finally reached a point many never expected.
She’s showing everyone what perseverance really looks like.
Tammy first rose to fame alongside her sister Amy, with the show documenting their efforts to lose weight.
At her heaviest, Tammy weighed 725 pounds, and her health had taken a serious hit. She relied on a wheelchair and oxygen to get around, and her mental health plummeted.

Last year, she suffered a heartbreaking personal loss when her husband, Caleb Willingham, passed away at just 40 years old.
Despite the tragedy, Tammy stayed focused on her health and managed to lose enough weight to qualify for bariatric surgery, a life-changing procedure.
In the most recent episode of 1000-Lb Sisters on October 15, fans finally got to see the results of her hard work.
Tammy, who hadn’t seen her bariatric surgeon Dr. Eric Smith in nine months, nervously prepared for a weigh-in. “I had to lose 100 pounds before my next appointment. I’m extremely nervous,” she admitted.
The results were nothing short of shocking.
Tammy weighed in at 303.8 pounds, meaning she now weighs less than half of her heaviest weight. Dr. Smith was blown away by her transformation, calling it “unbelievable,” and many viewers agree.
Dr. Smith praised Tammy’s dedication, saying she had made sustainable lifestyle changes that have clearly paid off.
While she has certainly come a long way and deserves all of her flowers, her journey is far from over. There is another step.
Next up for Tammy’s transformation is skin removal surgery, which Dr. Smith says will happen sooner rather than later.
Her loose skin is affecting her quality of life, and the surgery will help her feel even better about the progress she’s made.
As they should, Tammy’s fans have been flooding her social media with praise.
“She has blown me away!! This truly shows you never give up!” one fan wrote on Instagram. Another added, “I knew a strong-headed person like her could do it!! Great job Tammy!”
Another fan summed it up perfectly, saying, “Tammy had an awful attitude before, but she changed. So proud of her honesty and struggles! Go girl!”
Fans everywhere are inspired by Tammy’s resilience and determination, showing that it’s never too late to turn things around.
