Summary
With1000-lb Sistersseason 6 likely just around the corner,Tammy Slatonrecently paid the sweetest visit to her young nephews, and she has never looked thinner. 37-year-old Tammy made her television debut in 2020, alongside her sister, 36-year-oldAmy Slaton, as they both embarked on dramatic weight loss journeys. The title of the show was based on the fact that, at the time, Tammy and Amy combined to weight over 1000 pounds, and were both determined to lose weight. The road wasn’t easy for the1000-lb Sistersstars, and Tammy especially struggled to get on the right track.
During the premiere episode of1000-lb Sisters,Tammy stepped on an industrial scale at a junkyard to learn that she weighed 608 pounds. Though the number upset her, it didn’t wake her up, as she continued to gain weight, getting up to 720 pounds at her heaviest. After a health scare, Tammy changed her life, had bariatric surgery, and lost 440 pounds by the end of1000-lb Sistersseason 5. A recent spotting of Tammy suggests that she has lost even more weight in between seasons.

In June 2024,AmandaHalterman, Amy and Tammy’s 43-year-old sister, posted a TikTok of a recent Slaton family gathering.

Theclip opens with Tammy lovingly hugging Amy’s 2-year-old son, Glenn Halterman, who eagerly loves his aunt back.
Tammy has explained that she is contractually obligated to keep her weight a secret unless the show’s cameras are filming, so her weight won’t be officially known until1000-lb Sistersseason 6 premieres, but it’s clear by looking at her that she has never been slimmer.
Amy is also recognizable at the gathering, along with her other son, 4-year-old Gage Halterman, and another Slaton sibling, 44-year-old Chris Combs. Though it’s not entirely clear, it would also appear thatMichael Halterman is also there, despite being divorced from Amy.The post has 42.8K likes.

She’s Surprisingly Maternal
Though they have three other siblings, Amy and Tammy have always been very close. They refer to themselves as Irish twins, which is a reference to the fact that they were born only a year apart. WhenAmy announced her pregnancyduring1000-lb Sistersseason 1,Tammy was excited for her sister, and she went on to prove herself to be a loving aunt.Seeing Tammy be so maternal is surprising because of her otherwise hard exterior, but she simply melts once her nephews are around.
