Trip Down Memory Lane
Beloved 1000‑Lb Sisters duo Amy and Tammy Slaton returned to the same scrapyard scale where their weight-loss journey began—retracking the dramatic moment they first hit 1,000 pounds combined. Fans got a full-circle dose of nostalgia as they revisited the familiar metal platform, stepping back into the arena that started it all
Reflecting on Their Starting Point
Rewound to 2020, Amy and Tammy weighed over 1,000 lb together (453.5 kg)—a gut-wrenching wake-up call that was both stark and inspiring. That rough beginning fuelled their fierce determination to get healthier and reclaim their lives.
Today’s Scale Surprise
Fast forward five years—standing on that same scale, the transformation is insane. Tammy now weighs in around 238 lb (108 kg) after losing over 500 lb (226 kg), while Amy has had major success with bariatric surgery and is rocking a healthy life with her growing family!
Doctors & Fans Amazed
Their bariatric surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith, couldn’t hide his astonishment:
“I’ve watched Tammy fight hard… 500+ pounds lost, but what she’s gained—confidence, freedom, and joy—is even greater.” nine.com.au+10nine.com.au+10nine.com.au+10
And fans flooded social media—theres’s a TikTok video of Tammy celebrating her epic milestone with supportive “weight loss warriors.” Comments were full of pride:
“You DID THAT, girl!”
“Never been so proud of a stranger!”
till More to Go—Skin Removal Surgery
Tammy isn’t done yet—after shedding hundreds, she’s undergone skin removal surgery, as captured in the Season 7 finale. She shared an emotional first post-op mirror moment, saying:
“I feel so weird… my bat wings are gone.” nine.com.au
With almost 5 kilos of excess skin removed, Tammy called the transformation “drastic,” and fans are excited for her next steps.
