Tammy Slaton is celebrating her latest weight-loss milestone.
The 1000-lb Sisters actress recently revealed that she has lost a total of 500 pounds since starting her journey.
In an Aug. 17 TikTok video synced to the motivational music “Rise Up” by Andra Day, Tammy responds to a scene showing her and six other “weight-loss warriors” walking onto the screen. On-screen text highlights each person’s weight loss as they move. The video shows that the friends have collectively lost 2,078 pounds while supporting each other and holding hands.
“Truly amazing women, and I’m happy to call you all my friends,” the 38-year-old wrote alongside the video. “I’m so proud of each and every one of you. Not only are you beautiful on the inside, but you’re beautiful on the outside too. Never forget that.”
Tammy, who co-stars with her sister Amy Slaton Halterman on the TLC series 1000-lb Sisters, has shared details about her health struggle since the series premiered in January 2020. After undergoing bariatric surgery in July 2022 and spending 14 months in a weight-loss rehab center, Tammy continued to share her weight-loss journey on social media and TV. By December 2023, Tammy had lost forty-eight pounds.
Not only does she share her weight-loss story, but she also discusses how the experience has improved her mental health.
“Before I went to rehab, I was just bitter, unhappy, and very depressed,” she said in a February TikTok. “I’ve personally seen a lot of growth in myself and how I treat people and my family. And just in my attitude and how happy I look. I smile a lot more.”
In addition to her progress, the reality star celebrated other milestones.
“I actually went on the rides [at Disney World.] And I went on a hot air balloon ride,” Tammy continued. “I appreciate life now, whereas before I hated it. I hated everything about life.”
She posted a photo of herself in a pool with her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle, a few months later in April. Her openness in sharing her story also touched her fans. As one person commented, “My goodness! The transformation is incredible! I’m so happy to see how far you’ve come. I may have cried a little.”
