When the reality series 1000-lb Sisters first premiered in 2020, stars Amy Slaton and Tammy Slaton lost a combined 600 plus pounds over the last few years, and fans have been posting the before and after comparisons on social media. Amy once weighed over 400 pounds, but she wanted to start a family, so she knew she had to lose weight. She relied on diet, exercise, and gastric bypass surgery to lose over 125 pounds.
Tammy started her weight-loss journey after her sister when she checked herself into a diet rehabilitation facility in 2022. While there, she met and married Caleb Willingham, a fellow patient who, sadly, passed away from health complications caused by his obesity. Despite the emotional turmoil, Tammy was able to lose over 400 pounds. Since Amy and Tammy have been losing weight, fans have been posting dramatic before-and-after photos of the Slaton sisters on social media.
