OFF THE RECORD

Tammy Slaton is commemorating her most recent weight loss achievement.

The actress from 1000-Lb. Sisters just announced that she has lost a total of 500 pounds since beginning her journey.

In a TikTok video from August 17th, set to the inspiring song “Rise Up” by Andra Day, Tammy appears alongside six other “weight loss warriors.” As they walk into the frame, text on the screen shows how much weight each person has lost. The video showcases how these friends collectively lost a total of 2,078 pounds, supporting each other and holding hands throughout their journey.

“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.”

Tammy, who stars alongside her sister Amy Slaton Halterman in the TLC show 1000-Lb. Sisters, has opened up about her health challenges since the show started in January 2020. After having bariatric surgery in July 2022 and staying in a weight loss rehab center for 14 months, Tammy continues to share her journey of losing weight on social media and on television. By December 2023, she had lost a total of forty-eight pounds.

She talks about her journey of losing weight and explains how it has also made her feel better mentally.

1. She shared in a TikTok video from February, “Before I went to rehab, I felt really angry, sad, and was struggling with thoughts of ending my life. But since then, I’ve noticed a lot of changes in myself. I treat my family and others better, and my overall attitude has improved. I find myself smiling a lot more these days.”

With all this progress, the reality star also celebrated some other accomplishments.

“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 picture of herself at the pool with her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle. Her willingness to share her story has really inspired her fans. One fan even said, “Wow! The change is amazing! I’m so glad to see how much you’ve grown. I might have shed a tear or two.”
