1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has lost an incredible amount of weight since her 2020 television debut. When the show premiered, Tammy weighed over 600 pounds. She was so big she couldn't even use a regular bathroom scale. She had to travel to the local junkyard to use their industrial-sized scale. The dehumanizing experience illustrated the reality of Tammy's life.

As bad as things were for Tammy, she would only gain more weight. She got up to 725 pounds at her heaviest. For Tammy, like for so many others, weight loss wasn't a straight line from point A to point B. Tammy worked hard to get on track, but by the time 1000-lb Sisters season 6 wrapped up, she was on track to achieving her health and weight-loss goals. She recently shared a tip that shone a light on her realistic approach to weight loss.

Tammy's Extraordinary Journey

A Total Transformation

When Tammy weighed around 725 pounds, her health collapsed. She was rushed to the hospital and put in a week-long medically induced coma. The experience scared Tammy into finally getting serious about losing weight. After addressing her food addiction and getting bariatric surgery, Tammy lost an incredible 500 pounds.
