Tammy Slaton is celebrating the newest milestone in her weight loss journey.
The 1000-Lb. Sisters star recently announced that she has lost a total of 500 pounds since beginning her transformation.
In an Aug. 17 TikTok video set to Andra Day’s inspirational song “Rise Up,” Tammy reacts to a video of her and six fellow “weight loss warriors” walking into frame. As they do, on-screen text shows off how much weight each person has lost. As the friends join hands and lift them in unison, the video shows that the group has collectively lost 2,078 pounds.
“Truly absolutely amazing ladies and I’m happy to call y’all all my friends,” the 38-year-old wrote alongside the clip. “I’m so proud of each and every one of y’all. Not only are you beautiful on the inside but you’re gorgeous on the outside. Never forget.”
Since 1000-Lb. Sisters' debut in January 2020, Tammy—who stars in the TLC series with her sister Amy Slaton Halterman—has given insight into her health journey. Following a 14-month stay in a weight loss rehab facility and bariatric surgery in July 2022, Tammy has continued to document her progress and dedication to losing weight on TV and social media. As of December 2023, Tammy had lost 440 pounds.
And in addition to showcasing her weight loss, she’s also given insight into how her experience has lifted her mental health.
“Before I went to rehab, I was just bitter, unhappy, very super suicidal depressed,” she said in a February TikTok. “I personally have seen a lot of growth within myself and how I treat people and my family. And just my attitude and how happier I seem. I smile a lot more.”
And alongside that progress, the reality star celebrated other milestones, as well.
“I actually got on rides [at Disney World.] And I rode in a hot air balloon,” Tammy continued. “I value life now, where before I hated it. I hated everything about life.”
A few months later, in April, she shared a poolside picture with her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle. And fans have been moved by her candid approach to sharing her story. As one person commented, "Holy wow! The transformation is incredible! So happy to see how far you have come. I may have cried a little."
