TV star Tammy Slaton continues to make progress in leaps and bounds on her weight loss journey. It is safe to say that she improved her quality of life as soon as she decided to be healthier. In one of her Instagram updates, Tammy visited her doctor, Dr. Eric Smith, letting him know about her latest improvement, which was nothing short of a pleasant surprise. 

Longtime fans of TLC’s “1000-Lb Sisters” will attest to the fact that reality stars Amy and Tammy Slaton came a long way regarding leading a healthy life. The duo first gained public attention after creating a YouTube channel to document their lives in 2010. The sisters’ hilarious interactions quickly caught netizens’ attention, making them known. Their transition to television occurred in 2020 with the debut of '1000-Lb Sisters' on TLC.

Amy and Tammy Slaton gave fans an inside view of their daily lives as they struggled with health complications and a strenuous weight loss decision so they could be approved for bariatric surgery. The sisters sought to pursue better health. Amy, who was then married to Chris Halterman, was highly motivated by her desire to have children. With time, fans noticed significant progress in her commitment to weight loss.

Tammy, on the other hand, struggled more with shedding pounds. At one point, the reality personality weighed 717 pounds, and her family feared for her life. She became depressed and heavily dependent on alcohol. The TLC star reached a critical point in 2021 when she was rushed to the hospital in an emergency. By 2024, she proved to be making great strides.

Tammy had difficulty breathing and had to have a tube inserted in her throat. She was placed on life support for three weeks before finally recovering. It was at this point that Tammy decided she was done with her unhealthy lifestyle. She checked herself into a treatment program and re-ignited her weight-loss journey. 

Things began to improve in January 2022 when one of Tammy’s pals gave positive updates. According to The Sun, he revealed that the TV personality lost 115 pounds. A pal told the publication that Tammy increased her physical activity and was "able to do more things on her own." 

The media star gave a glimpse of her progress in March 2022. Tammy made a post on Instagram, and her weight difference was quite visible. Three months later, she underwent bariatric surgery to shed weight further. While at the rehab center, Tammy made exceptional progress and found love as well. 

She met and married fellow rehab member Caleb Willingham in 2022. The Sun revealed the wholesome moment Caleb asked her to be his wife. Concerning her weight loss achievement, fans got to see her pleasant pictures months later on a Facebook page called Southern Indiana Combat Production. Tammy continued to keep to her healthy pact, and in December 2022, fans saw her flaunt her much-slimmer frame in a TikTok clip. 

Tammy has put in an impressive effort to turn her life around, and in April 2024, she gave fans a glimpse at her results by sharing a poolside photo in a bathing suit.

By December 2023, Tammy had lost a whopping 440 pounds to weigh 285 pounds. She told People that the “big changes” in her weight “is probably small to most people,” but for her, “it was huge.”

“Just being able to walk without a walker or be pushed in a wheelchair, and no oxygen. I don't even sleep with it at night anymore,” she said.

Avid fans following Tammy on her weight loss journey through social media got a peek at the results of her hard work in April 2024, when she went off on a vacation with a friend, Haley Michelle. Without elaborating on where they were headed specifically, the two stopped at a grocery store to pick up some snacks and pose for a picture in the process.

“Getting some groceries before our girls trip,” Michelle wrote in the caption of the photo that showed a much slimmer Tammy smiling at the camera.

Michelle later posted a snap of the two of them lounging by a pool, with Tammy in a blue, fish-scale bathing suit.

“Proud of you 💙#tammyslatonweightloss,” she captioned the photo.

Not everyone had positive things to say about her new look, with some saying she “looks kinda scary.”    

“I like Tammy but she looks creepy in this pic,” one user commented while another wrote, “Tammy looks like ET.”

However, a majority of the comments were positive, with many remarking that she looked “amazing” and that they were “proud” of her.

“You got to swim! So happy for you! I know how much you love to do it so that's so great to see,” one user wrote, while another said, “Holy wow! The transformation is incredible! So happy to see how far you have come I may have cried a little.”

“I know that Tammy must be so proud of herself. She fought the hard fight and made it when so many people wrote her off. Congrats girl!” another encouraging comment read.

On Aug. 28, 2024, Tammy stunned fans again, this time by posting a video showing off her slimmer figure as she talked about her weight-loss journey. She clarified why she had posted so many pictures of her new self in the past few months, first saying it wasn’t because she looked good, before cheekily adding, “Well, I do. A little bit.”

“I want to remember how big I was, what I look like. And, I reflect, 'Dude, I was huge!' … Like I would not be able to sit in this chair,” she remarked. 

However, she said her journey hadn’t been smooth sailing. She said she also turned to alcohol to deal with the stress of losing weight but at “the same time, I was still eating. So I was doing both. Damage in two different ways.”

However, she soon realized her mistake. 

“Then what was this all for? Wasted time, wasted money, wasted effort… It's not a diet. They say it's a lifestyle change, which it really is,” she said.

She elaborated in a post the next day in which she wrote, “Losing weight, overcoming challenges, and transforming your life are incredible achievements, but in the process, never forget who you are at your core.”

Despite Tammy's immense effort to lose weight, some users still left discouraging comments for the TV star, with one user saying, “OH MY SHE’S CHANGED.” 

Others urged her to get her excess skin removed.

“Are you going to have skin removal surgery? It would make a huge difference on you!” one user wrote, as another commented, “Will u be doing skin removal Tammy?”

“Tammy, stoooop 😭 You don't need to lose more weight!” one user pleaded.

However, the praise Tammy received far outweighed the criticism, with many saying they were “proud” of her while calling her “beautiful” and an “inspiration.”
