Summary

• Chris Combs lost 150 pounds through surgery, diet, and exercise on 1000-lb Sisters.
• Chris and Brittany's weight loss journey allowed for new experiences like family vacations.
• Chris and Brittany's weight loss progress has inspired fans and strengthened their relationship.

1000-lb Sisters stars Chris Combs and his wife, Brittany Combs, have both experienced weight loss in the last few years, and it's time to look back at their incredible journey. When the series premiered in 2020, Chris weighed 450 pounds, but he has since shed 150 pounds through diet, exercise, and bariatric surgery. His wife, Brittany, also lost weight, though she had to lose as much as Chris. Even though the show centers around sisters Tammy Slaton and Amy Slaton, other of the Slaton family have gotten in on the weight-loss action, including their step-brother, Chris, and his wife, Brittany.

Chris grew up with Tammy, Amy, and their other siblings in Shawneetown, Illinois. Like his sisters, Chris developed an unhealthy relationship with food at an early age. Their mother worked a lot, so the kids had to feed themselves. They ate a lot of junk food because it was easy and cheaper. As Chris grew up, he started working in the food industry. He worked for the American food corporation Tyson Foods, and then in a McDonald's kitchen, where he met his now wife, Brittany. Since ing the cast of 1000-lb Sisters, they've both lost weight.

Chris Combs & Misty Combs Are A Great Love Story

They Met At Work

Before embarking on his weight-loss journey, a 450-pound Chris looked like a different person. At his former size, Chris' mobility was limited, but since losing weight, his life has changed completely. He and Brittany even went on a family vacation to Florida, which wouldn't have been possible before the Slatons all lost weight. In a photo Chris posted to Instagram in February 2021, he and Brittany were in the middle of their weight-loss journey. At the time, Chris was smaller than he used to be but still had a long way to go.

Chris once playfully joked he was losing weight and "bringing sexy back."

Despite the joke, Chris's physical transformation likely contributed to a renewed spark in his relationship with his wife. Brittany is a 1000-lb Sisters fan favorite, and, like the rest of the Slatons, Brittany has embarked on her weight-loss journey over the years. She even said recently that she's considering bariatric surgery. Chris and Brittany have been married since October 2016 and live in Kentucky. Chris also has a daughter from a previous marriage and three grandchildren. Chris wanted to lose weight to be around for his family.
