Tammy Slaton from 1000-lb Sisters is in her Reputation era, showing off her best in-your-face outfits following her extraordinary weight-loss milestone. Before losing over 400 pounds, Tammy led a completely different life. She started 1000-lb Sisters at 725 pounds and couldn’t enjoy everyday tasks because of her size. Tammy used drinking, vaping, and eating to manage the stress she was under. Unfortunately, the real reason Tammy lost weight was because she had a near-death experience that sent her to the hospital. After a night of partying, she entered rehab but fell into a coma.
Thankfully, Tammy was alright. After her hospital visit, she committed to changing her life around. She lost weight, underwent weight-loss surgery, and started eating and exercising better. Tammy has been able to experience the simple joys of life alongside her sister, Amy Slaton. Nowadays, she enjoys interacting with fans on social media while showing off her extraordinary weight-loss milestone. From time to time, Tammy prays for her haters who attempt to diminish her newfound self-confidence. Despite skepticism, Tammy’s best revenge has been looking good and staying confident.
As Taylor Swift would say, Tammy “got smarter” and “harder in the nick of time.” She’s showing off and not minding what her haters say about her anymore. Since losing weight, Tammy has started wearing more experimental fashion looks. In an Instagram post shared by @1000lb_realitytv_updates, she wore a pair of jean overalls and black heart-shaped glasses. Instead of throwing shade and sticking it to her doubters, Tammy was all heart-eyes with the cute pair of glasses. She was noticeably much smaller than early seasons of 1000-lb Sisters and even stood up to show off the cute outfit.
Before getting down to 278 pounds, Tammy’s weight restricted her from being able to walk. To assist with mobility, she used a wheelchair and walker in episodes of 1000-lb Sisters. It was hard to urge Tammy to attempt to walk before she lost weight. Her family members would try their best to encourage her to start exercising, but she wasn’t having it. Tammy directed her anger and frustration about her weight towards those who challenged her.
In one scene in the reality series, Tammy and Amy’s family went on vacation. However, when they arrived, Tammy refused to exit the van because she was hesitant about going up the ramp that led to their rental home. No matter how hard her family tried to encourage her, she wouldn’t get out of the car. “Y’all need to leave me alone. I don’t care what I f***ing do tonight. I don’t give a f***,” she said. Tammy’s weight held her back for a long time. It’s inspiring to see the progress she’s made.
Tammy isn’t afraid to strut her stuff anymore, and she’s got the support of her friends every step of the way. In a video on Haley Michelle’s Instagram, Tammy strutted with Amy as they filmed a video. Behind them, Tammy’s friend walked down the steps and joined her friends for a strut. Haley is Tammy’s best friend, and she pops up in content on her Instagram. They met online as Haley is a psychic and does readings online. Their friendship has brought the 1000-lb Sisters star a lot of joy, which was evident in the Instagram video.
“Look what you made her do!” Tammy channeled her Reputation era further with a black and white striped shirt in a selfie posted on @1000lb_realitytv_updates’ Instagram page. In the selfie, her face looked much slimmer. She shined in the Taylor-inspired look with a musical note necklace and fiery red hair. In the comments of the fan account’s post, one user congratulated Tammy on all of her progress. “You look amazing!” they wrote, adding, “Keep up the good work.” While most of the comments on the post were positive, she still receives degrading messages from haters quite frequently.
Tammy has been open and said that the negative comments hurt her feelings. She made a huge lifestyle change, but the trolls still attempt to demean her and tear down her progress. She isn’t afraid to stand up for herself anymore. In a video on her TikTok, Tammy reprimanded those who tried to bring her down for her looks. “If you have no name and no picture, keep your mouth shut,” she said. She explained that she is “tired of seeing” the negative comments, referring to one by a user comparing Tammy to Family Guy character Peter Griffin.
When Tammy weighed 725 pounds, she still received hate. No matter how much progress she makes, there will always be people who have something mean to say about her weight. By the end of her TikTok video, Tammy told everyone to stop spreading hate. “Nobody deserves to be called names, not even my worst enemy,” she wrote. Even when she was being put down, Tammy had compassion for her haters.
Since 1000-lb Sisters season 1, Tammy has transformed into a new person. There is no denying the amount of change she’s endured over the past few years. @1000lb_realitytv_updates posted a picture on Instagram of Tammy with her family, seemingly from a few years ago. In the photo, she wasn’t even able to stand up and sat down in a wheelchair. She wore an aqua blue T-shirt and looked unhappy. The picture showed how much progress Tammy had made. Going from 725 pounds to 278 pounds is a massive milestone, one she accomplished through lifestyle changes and weight-loss surgery.
After her extraordinary weight-loss milestone, Tammy started wearing new fashion and makeup looks. Nowadays, she sports pixie haircuts, wears curve-hugging outfits, and has improved her confidence by experimenting with her style. At the beginning of 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy wore dreary clothes that matched her negative mood. Now, she participates in new trends and posts them online for her fans to see. Above all, Tammy’s confidence has improved by miles. She loves interacting with her followers online and spreading love, not hate.
Tammy is a newfound woman since losing weight on 1000-lb Sisters. It was a long journey for Tammy to hit her weight loss milestone, but she did it. After a near-death experience, Tammy hasn’t looked back to her old life and continues to reinvent herself daily with fun, fashionable looks.
