Tammy Slaton has officially entered her “glow-up” era, and 1000-lb Sisters fans are still catching their breath. Season 7 episode 7 witnessed the jaw-dropping moment Tammy stepped on the scale and discovered she’d dropped over 500 pounds, taking her from more than 700 to just around 200 pounds.

The emotional reveal didn’t just show off her physical transformation, it gave a rare, honest glimpse into the long, winding journey that’s defined much of her time on 1000-lb Sisters.

Tammy herself couldn’t believe the number.

“Am I reading that wrong?”

she asked in disbelief before being reassured it was right.

“I’ve lost about 50-something pounds since being here?”

she continued, still in shock.

It’s been a five-year climb, full of setbacks, health scares, and tough choices, but Tammy’s smile during the weigh-in said everything that words couldn’t.


Tammy hits a new milestone on 1000-lb Sisters

Tammy Slaton has come a long way since the early days, when she first joined the show, weighing in at over 700 pounds, alongside her sister Amy. Back then, the road ahead seemed overwhelming. But now, the most recent episode has captured her reaching a milestone no one expected this soon: 200 pounds.

That’s a loss of 504 pounds since her heaviest point, and it’s more than just a number, it’s the result of serious lifestyle changes. Tammy embraced a new food and exercise regime that helped her slowly but steadily chip away at the weight.

The achievement wasn’t just celebrated by her. Sister Amy praised Tammy’s persistence, and for the first time in a long time, Tammy could say:

“I can’t remember the last time being this small.”

This moment marked one of the most moving reveals on 1000-lb Sisters to date.


Plastic surgery plans bring excitement and fear

Tammy’s progress on 1000-lb Sisters hasn’t just earned her praise, it’s opened the door to something she once thought was out of reach: plastic surgery. Just a few weeks before this weigh-in, doctors finally cleared her for skin removal surgery. Before this, they were hesitant due to health risks.

Understandably, Tammy had mixed feelings. In an interview with E! News, she opened up about her biggest concern:

“Just really the pain and then my fear of how I’m going to look [when] looking at myself afterwards.”

She continued,

“I’m so used to seeing all this hanging [from] my arms and now when I wake up Sunday or Saturday, I’m not going to have this anymore.”

Even with the nerves, she found comfort in what this change could mean.

“I’m going to look halfway normal from [the] face down,” she said. “It’s scary but rewarding at the same time.”

This raw honesty has become a hallmark of 1000-lb Sisters, and it’s part of what keeps fans coming back.


A neck surgery and a TikTok reveal

Tammy has already started her journey through multiple surgeries, since the filming of this latest season of 1000-lb Sisters. The first was for excess skin removal around her neck, something she was both scared of and eager to have done.

After recovering, she decided to share the results on TikTok. In the video, she’s seen smiling and showing off her slimmer look. Her girlfriend Angela appeared alongside Tammy, with a romantic song playing in the background:

“You know I never found love until I looked into your eyes.”

The clip had fans buzzing, not just about her transformation, but about how happy she looked. Tammy gave off an energy that many viewers hadn’t seen in earlier seasons.


With more episodes still to come, fans of 1000-lb Sisters can expect to see even more of Tammy’s transformation unfold on-screen.

If this episode proved anything, it’s that the glow-up is just getting started.
