1000-lb Sisters' weight loss progress from dangerous habits to shedding 300lb
1000-lb Sisters stars Tammy and Amy Slaton rose to fame in the early 2020s with their TLC reality TV show about their shocking weight.
Combined, they weighed just over 1,000 pounds and struggled to shed their weight, despite their family fearing for their lives and doctors urging the duo to put their health first.
The pair planned on shedding enough weight so they could be approved for bariatric surgery.
Tammy once weighed 665 pounds and, at the time, her family believed she'd be dead within five years. Meanwhile, Amy weighed less and lost more, dropping from 400 pounds to 275 by the end of the second season of their show.
Even though she'd made some progress, by the end of season two, Tammy was a whopping 717 pounds and followed a downward spiral - turning to drinking and partying to cope with her severe depression.
