1000-Lb Sisters: 8 Remarkable Weight Loss Achievements by the Slaton Siblings that Transformed Their Lives

The Slaton siblings have undergone remarkable transformations since their debut on the reality series 1000-Lb Sisters. Since the show’s premiere in 2020, Tammy and Amy Slaton, along with their siblings Chris Combs, Amanda Halterman, and Misty Wentworth, have made significant strides in their weight-loss journeys. Initially, Tammy and Amy boasted a combined weight of over 1,000 pounds, and their progress has inspired many viewers.

Growing up, the Slaton siblings faced challenges with weight management, tracing back to their childhood. Raised by a single mother who worked long hours, they often had to make their meals. As a result, they developed unhealthy eating habits. Each sibling has embarked on this weight-loss journey for personal reasons. Some are motivated by the desire to enhance their health and longevity, while others look forward to the possibilities of starting families. Although their paths have diverged at times, they ultimately found common ground in their health and wellness pursuits. Here are eight noteworthy milestones achieved by the Slaton siblings in their incredible transformations.

1 Tammy Entered Weight Loss Rehabilitation

Tackling Her Food Addiction

At the outset of 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy weighed over 600 pounds and didn’t fully commit to her weight-loss goals. Her journey saw her peak at a staggering 725 pounds. Struggling with unhealthy habits, including partying and drinking, Tammy experienced a transformative wake-up call when a serious health scare plunged her into a medically induced coma. It was this scare that prompted her to seek help at a weight-loss rehabilitation facility, which proved to be a pivotal moment in her life, allowing her to confront her food addiction. Following her rehabilitation, Tammy received gastric bypass surgery, marking a new chapter in her weight-loss journey.

2 Chris Achieved a 150-Pound Weight Loss

Just the Beginning

When Chris joined the family-centered reality show, he tipped the scales at over 450 pounds. Influenced by his sisters’ determination, he pursued a similar path. Following bariatric surgery in 2022, Chris celebrated a remarkable 150-pound weight loss, with his latest weigh-in bringing his weight to 300 pounds. Despite a recent plateau that left him disheartened, Chris remains committed to his health goals. With plans to undergo skin removal surgery, his next objective is to shed an additional 60 pounds to achieve optimal health.

3 Amy Underwent Bariatric Surgery

She Lost 125 Pounds

Following her surgery, Amy experienced significant weight loss, shedding 125 pounds. However, she faces challenges associated with excess skin due to her rapid transformation. Eager to address this issue through skin removal surgery, Amy’s doctor has advised her to lose an additional 30 pounds before proceeding. Alongside her physical changes, Amy has embraced a bolder personal style, frequently experimenting with new hair colors and fashion choices, demonstrating her newfound confidence and resilience in the face of setbacks.

4 The Slatons Enjoyed Traveling

A Newfound Freedom

In the earlier stages of their journeys, travel was virtually impossible for Tammy. Once limited due to her size and health, Tammy has since embraced a more active lifestyle. The Slaton siblings are now adventurous, engaging in activities that were once unthinkable for them. Their Florida vacation marked a significant milestone, with Tammy taking her first airplane flight without the need for an extra seat. The family also enjoyed a boat ride and even ventured to the United Kingdom, celebrating newfound freedom as they explore the world.

5 Amy Became a Mother

A New Chapter in Motherhood

When the show began, Amy was happily married to Michael Halterman and was eager to become a mother. After her weight-loss surgery, Amy successfully welcomed two healthy boys, Gage and Glenn. However, her personal life took a difficult turn when her marriage ended. The couple faced challenges adjusting to parenthood, which ultimately led to their divorce in 2023, triggering a new chapter in Amy’s life as a single mother.

6 Amanda and Misty Had Surgeries Together

Synchronized Surgeries

Amanda and Misty’s bond as siblings led them to undergo bariatric surgery on the same day, both guided by the same surgeon. While Misty has faced weight issues for most of her life, Amanda—the typically slender sister—began gaining weight post-pregnancy. After previously undergoing a weight loss procedure over a decade ago, Amanda decided to take action in March 2023. That same day, Misty, who initially weighed 240 pounds, also underwent surgery after years of struggling with her health.

7 Misty Discontinued Diabetes Medications

Although less vocal than her siblings, 48-year-old Misty has achieved significant change in her health. Following her surgery in March 2023, she dropped from 240 to 166 pounds. One of the most significant outcomes of her transformation was the ability to stop taking diabetes medication, allowing her to manage her blood sugar levels naturally. The reduction in weight has dramatically boosted her self-esteem, resulting in a youthful appearance and refreshing confidence.

8 Tammy Achieved a 500-Pound Weight Loss

A Transformational Journey

Among her siblings, Tammy has experienced the most dramatic transformation. She began her journey at 608 pounds and later climaxed at 725 pounds. After facing health challenges, she turned her life around significantly, culminating in a total weight loss of 500 pounds. Presently, Tammy weighs approximately 225 pounds, yet she is also anticipating skin removal surgery as a crucial next step in her ongoing quest for improved health.
