This is where it all started”: Amy and Tammy Revisit the Iconic Scrap Yard Scale
In a powerful moment that brought fans to tears, 1000-Lb Sisters stars Amy and Tammy Slaton made an emotional return to the scrap yard where their life-changing weight journey began. For long-time viewers of the TLC reality hit, the scene was a full-circle moment — one that reminded everyone just how far these sisters have come.
A Flashback to the Beginning
Back in the early days of the show, Amy and Tammy had to rely on a scrap yard scale to get their actual weight measured — standard medical scales couldn’t handle their size. It was a moment both sisters recalled with mixed emotions: embarrassment, struggle, but also determination.
In the latest episode, fans watched with pride as the sisters bravely revisited the very spot that once marked the beginning of their transformation. Amy joked, “I think I broke the scale last time,” but the mood quickly shifted to something more heartfelt
In six years, Amy had shed an incredible 157lbs (72kgs)
“We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby”
This time around, there was no shame — only pride. Tammy, who once weighed over 700 pounds, has shed more than 400 pounds since undergoing weight loss surgery and overhauling her lifestyle. Amy, too, has made huge strides, especially after becoming a mom.
When the sisters stepped on the scrap yard scale again, the numbers were drastically different. “I used to feel like I was trapped in my own body,” Tammy confessed. “But now I feel free.” Their incredible before-and-after photos left fans online speechless
