The TLC television series “1000-lb Sisters” has become a guilty pleasure for many people in the United States, as well as anyone who can access it in other countries. It’s a show that follows the lives of Amy and Tammy Slaton, sisters that once weighed over 1,000 pounds together and have always depended on each other for support. The television series depicts the hardships of what it’s like for them to live as morbidly obese women while trying to find their own path to health and happiness.
Similar to “My 600-lb Life,” the show “1000-lb Sisters” has a fan following of people cheering on Amy and Tammy as they navigate weight loss and other obstacles in life, specifically ones related to their health. While many people have grown to adore the sisters for their sense of humor and their relationship with each other, others have pointed out how unmotivated the sisters seem at times to really take care of themselves and take their health situation seriously.
Each season depicts the challenging lives of overweight sisters Amy and Tammy. The two navigate their relationship together, as well as their own personal lives, mixed in with their individual weight loss goals.
Throughout each season, both sisters try to eat healthier and exercise more to ultimately give themselves a better chance at a happier, healthier and longer life. However, many fans have watched as Amy has shown to make much more progress than Tammy.
That seemed to change, though, in December 2022 after Tammy uploaded a video that showed her looking drastically different.
The sisters have had issues with each other throughout the television series, as Tammy has criticized Amy a handful of times. One instance, in particular, was when the family went to an amusement park. Tammy was in a bad mood the entire time and did not join the rest of the family except for dinner.
The family decided to get an electric wheelchair for Tammy, but she refused it, claiming she would rather use the mechanical one. She then voiced her suspicions that the family only wanted to use the electric wheelchair so they wouldn’t have to push her around anymore. Fans of the show went on social media to share their opinions on Tammy’s behavior.
One fan said on Twitter, “Tammy has an attitude because the electric wheelchair makes it easier on her family. How freaking selfish can one person be?!”
It’s clear that the Slaton sisters have been through a lot of ups and downs in their lives as they work toward creating the life they want while working to achieve all of their personal health goals.
Over the show’s run, many fans have pointed out that it seemed like Amy was making much more progress than her sister, Tammy. Fans have been rooting for the sisters and have shown concern over times when it seemed like they had fallen off their paths. According to Showbiz CheatSheet, Amy first weighed about 400 pounds when the reality show started and has been depicted as the “skinny sister.” She took a break from trying to lose weight when she got pregnant but got back on track shortly after, getting down to 270 pounds.
Tammy, on the other hand, has struggled a lot with her weight loss journey. She gained weight after filming first began before taking the right steps toward a healthier lifestyle. Tammy said, “I just wasn’t doing what I needed to do. I mean, sometimes I try to eat healthier, and then other days I’m like, ‘What the heck’s the point?’”
A 2020 video showed Tammy eating healthy and hardly using her walker. “It’s an accomplishment being able to take care of myself and to be more independent,” she said. She admitted that she still depended on Amy at times but has been able to take care of herself for the most part. Tammy later checked into a weight-loss facility, according to Showbiz CheatSheet.
It seems like Tammy has since made remarkable progress, as fans were blown away by her dramatic weight loss transformation when she uploaded a TikTok in December 2022. Although she had a filter on the video that slightly altered her face, it was still obvious that Tammy had lost weight.
People were quick to share their feedback with Tammy on her transformation as they were happy that it seemed like she was taking good care of herself. One person commented, “Tammy you’re looking great!” Another person said, “YOU LOOK SO GOOD TAMMY!!”
More fans shared their thoughts. A third person said, “You actually look happy.” Another person commented, “You look amazing!”
With the fourth season of “1000-lb Sisters” airing in January 2023, there’s no telling how much more progress fans will get to see from the Slaton sisters!
