1,000-Lb. Sisters’ Tammy Slaton Addresses 500-Pound Weight Loss

Tammy Slaton is sharing words of encouragement.

The 1,000-Lb. Sisters star spoke candidly to her followers, offering her support to others working towards their own goals.

“If you’re new here, my name is Tammy,” she began in her Sept. 19 Instagram video. “Some of my friends call me Queen Tammy—you can too if you want. Here on my page, you’re gonna find motivation, realness from me and hopefully inspiration for you to continue on your journey.”

Referencing her own highs and lows, Tammy—who stars alongside younger sister Amy Slaton in the TLC reality series—continued, “Whether [you’ve lost] 500 lbs. like I [did], or you almost lost all your weight, whether you deal with depression or feel like you don’t want to do tomorrow, just know you are safe here.”

The declaration came after the 38-year-old shared her extraordinary health milestone in a TikTok video in August, where she and six other self-proclaimed “weight loss warriors” joined hands as the on-screen text revealed they had lost a combined 2,078 lbs.
