Tammy Slaton, star of the hit reality series "1000-Lb. Sisters," has shared an inspirational milestone in her incredible weight-loss journey. In a recent clip released by TLC, the 38-year-old was seen stepping on the scale, revealing an astonishing new weight of 281.2 pounds.

Reflecting on her past, Slaton remarked, "I think the last time I weighed 281 pounds, I was in fourth or fifth grade." This monumental change has not only impacted her physically but also transformed family dynamics; she proudly noted that she now weighs less than her older brother, Chris Combs, who tipped the scale at 284 pounds. "I’m the baby sister, but I’m not the ‘big’ baby sister no more," she exclaimed, showcasing her newfound confidence.

Tammy’s journey toward weight loss has not been easy. She started her transformation weighing around 725 pounds back in 2020. Recently, she lost approximately 20 pounds in just three months, down from a previous weight of 303 pounds at a doctor’s visit. With each milestone, her brother Chris expressed disbelief, admitting in a confessional, "She’s always been Tammy — big."

Since her journey began, Slaton has shed a staggering 200 pounds, initially motivated by the recommendation of her doctors to lose weight for eligibility for bariatric surgery. After successfully undergoing the procedure in 2022, Slaton has continued to make impressive strides, shedding around 300 pounds in the year following her surgery. By April 2024, her total weight loss could potentially reach an incredible 440 pounds.

One of the most remarkable outcomes of her weight loss is that Slaton no longer requires the walker or the oxygen support she depended on for 15 long years. "I was able to make my lungs strong… And then recently the doctor cleared me to be off my oxygen machine during the daytime," she disclosed in an interview with People magazine in June 2023.

In her pursuit of improved health, Slaton is not stopping at exercise alone; she is also exploring invasive weight-loss treatments and is eager to undergo skin removal surgery to complete her transformation. However, she received advice from her doctor in a new episode aired by TLC, indicating that she would likely need to wait another year before qualifying for the procedure due to the recent nature of her bariatric surgery.

Tammy Slaton’s astounding journey serves as a source of inspiration for many, proving that dedication, hard work, and support from loved ones can lead to remarkable changes. Keep watching as she continues to conquer her weight-loss goals!
