After losing 500 pounds, it’s no wonder 1000 Pound Sisters star Tammy Slaton is feeling good about herself these days. She has achieved many weight loss milestones since starting her journey when the series premiered in 2020. During the show’s premiere episode, Tammy stepped on an industrial scale to discover she weighed over 600 pounds. She knew she was obese, but even she was shocked by the number. At that size, she needed a lot of help and leaving the house was almost impossible. She was a prisoner of her own body, trapped in her home.
Despite her decreased quality of life, Tammy continued to gain weight. At its heaviest level, the 1000 Pound Sisters the Season 6 star weighed 725 pounds. When a health crisis landed Tammy in the hospital, she was very scared. She focused on dealing with her food addiction, had bariatric surgery and lost an incredible 500 pounds. After struggling with low self-confidence all my life, Tammy finally feels good about herself. She’s reached several incredible weight loss milestones over the past few years, and the reality TV star should be proud of herself.
Tammy’s weight loss journey wasn’t easy
She had her ups and downs
Tammy’s weight loss journey was not linear, and the 1000 Pound Sisters The Season 6 star has had her share of ups and downs. In the first few seasons, she was in total denial. She was never able to stick to any diet plan, ignored her doctor’s orders to exercise more, and drank too much. It wasn’t until she had to be rushed to hospital and placed in a medically induced coma that she realized her life was at risk. To her credit, Tammy has been committed to losing weight ever since.
