Tammy Slaton is commemorating her most recent weight loss achievement.
The 1000-Lb. Sisters actress recently announced that she has lost a total of 500 pounds since beginning her journey.
In a TikTok video posted on August 17th, set to the inspiring tune “Rise Up” by Andra Day, Tammy shares a powerful moment featuring herself alongside six fellow “weight loss warriors.” As they enter the screen, on-screen text reveals each person’s weight loss achievement. The video showcases their collective journey, with the group shedding a total of 2,078 pounds. The scene is a testament to their mutual support, as they lift each other up and hold hands in solidarity.
“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 on the TLC series 1000-Lb. Sisters, has been open about her health challenges since the show debuted in January 2020. After having bariatric surgery in July 2022 and spending 14 months in a weight loss rehab center, Tammy has continued to document her weight loss journey both on social media and on TV. By December 2023, she had lost 48 pounds.

She shares not only her weight loss journey but also how the experience has positively impacted her mental health.
“Before I went to rehab, I was just bitter, unhappy, and very suicidal depressed,” she said in a February TikTok. “I personally have seen a lot of growth within myself and how I treat people and my family. And just my attitude and how happy I seem. I smile a lot more.”
In addition to this progress, the reality star also celebrated other milestones.
“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.”
In April, a few months later, she shared a photo of herself at the pool with her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle. Her willingness to share her story has deeply resonated with her fans. As one person commented, “Holy wow! The transformation is incredible! I am so happy to see how far you have come. I may have cried a little.”
