Tammy Slayton and Amy Slayton first rose to fame through the hit reality TV series “1000 Pound Sisters,” in which they chronicle their lives while struggling with severe obesity.
The show followed their journey as they struggled to lose weight, change their lives, and gain widespread support. Over several seasons, the sisters opened up about their struggles with eating disorders in the hopes of improving their health and well-being.
Between the two, Amy made significant progress, successfully losing a significant amount of weight and undergoing surgery as part of her transformation.
Both sisters initially weighed around 600 pounds at the start of the series. In contrast to Amy’s progress, Tammy’s weight increased, reaching a peak of almost 600 pounds. She was subsequently admitted to a specialized medical facility in Ohio designed to help people with extreme obesity.
Despite constant special care, Tammy is very happy with her sister’s achievements. Remarkably, during her time at the medical center, she also found love and met her future husband there. Their engagement and wedding photos quickly became a hot topic, attracting public attention and joy.
