Tammy Slaton is celebrating a significant milestone in her remarkable weight loss journey. The star of 1000-Lb. Sisters recently shared that she has lost a total of 500 pounds since beginning her transformation.
In an inspiring TikTok video posted on August 17th, set to Andra Day’s empowering song “Rise Up,” Tammy proudly showcases her progress alongside six other “weight loss warriors.” The video highlights the collective achievement, revealing that together, they have shed an incredible 2,078 pounds.
