Tammy Slaton is celebrating her latest weight loss milestone.
The 1,000-lb Sisters actress recently revealed that she has lost a total of 500 pounds since beginning her journey.
In an August 17 TikTok video synchronized to the motivational music “Rise Up” by Andra Day, Tammy responds to a scene showing her and six other “weight loss warriors” entering the screen. Text on the screen highlights each person’s weight loss as they move. The video shows that together the friends lost 2,078 pounds while supporting each other and holding hands.
“You are truly incredible women and I am happy to call you all my friends,” the 38-year-old wrote alongside the video. “I am so proud of each and every one of you. Not only are you beautiful on the inside, but you are also beautiful on the outside. 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 struggles 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 has continued to share her weight-loss journey on social media and television. By December 2023, Tammy had lost 48 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 bitter, unhappy, and very depressed,” she said in a February TikTok. “Personally, I’ve seen a lot of growth in myself and the way I treat people and my family. And just in my attitude and how happy I seem. I smile a lot more.”
In addition to this progress, the reality star celebrated other milestones.
“I actually went on the rides [at Disney World] and rode in a hot air balloon,” Tammy continued. “I appreciate life now, whereas before I hated it. I hated everything about it.”
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 has also touched her fans. As one person commented, “Holy crap! The transformation is amazing! I’m so happy to see how far you’ve come. I might have cried a little.”
