1000-Lb. Sisters star Tammy Slaton is celebrating another weight loss milestone.
The TV personality, 38, stepped on a scale to weigh herself and discovered that she was down to 281.2 pounds in a new clip from the reality show shared by TLC on Instagram on Wednesday, November 13. This was more than a 20-lb. difference from her last weigh-in, as Tammy revealed she was previously 303 pounds.
“I’ll be goddamned. Congratulations, that’s good!” Tammy’s brother, Chris Combs, told her.
In a confessional, Tammy said, “Chris said he weighs 284. I now weigh a little less than Chris. That’s mind-blowing. I think the last time I weighed 281, I was in fourth or fifth grade. I’m the baby sister, but I’m not the ‘big’ baby sister [anymore].”
Back at the weigh-in, Tammy asked Chris, “How am I lighter than you?”
“You’re supposed to be lighter than me,” he responded, while Tammy joked, “‘Cause I’m short?”
In his confessional, Chris, 44, said that he’s “ecstatic” for his sister’s success in her weight loss journey.
“Did I ever think I’d see the day that she was smaller than me? Well, no, probably not, because I never thought about her being smaller than me,” he added.
Tammy’s weight loss journey began after a medical incident in 2022. She was placed in a medically induced coma and lost a significant amount of weight during her hospital stay — about 115 pounds in 30 days. The Kentucky native later reached her goal weight of under 550 pounds to qualify for bariatric surgery in July 2022, as seen on a February 2023 episode of 1000-Lb. Sisters.
Tammy, who weighed 725 pounds at her heaviest, dropped down to 285 pounds in December 2023, she confirmed to People at the time.
“One of the big changes that I have gone through this past year is probably small to most people. But to me it was huge,” she told the outlet. “Just being able to walk without a walker or be pushed in a wheelchair, and no oxygen. I don’t even sleep with it at night anymore. Then it was being able to fit in a regular vehicle, front seat, and then the belt buckle and not having to use an extender now. So I mean, just what seems minor to people, is giant to me.”
The reality star revealed via TikTok in August that she has shed 500 pounds throughout her weight loss journey. Tammy has continued to share progress photos as she reaches new milestones and explained her reasoning in another video in August.
“I take a lot of pictures, a lot of selfies, not because I look good — well, I do a little bit — but mostly because I want to remember how big I was, what I looked like,” she said. “And I reflect, dude, I was huge! I lost 500 pounds. I would not be able to sit in this chair.”
Tammy has also posted details about her diet.
“French vanilla, instant coffee and drizzle a caramel sauce about 15 [grams] of caramel protein shake and 20 [grams] of protein, coffee about five shots of French vanilla, sugar-free flavoring,” she wrote on Instagram in September, sharing her go-to coffee order. “And about five shots of brown sugar, cinnamon sugar free flavoring.”
Tammy also shared a photo of herself “posing with my proffee,” and added, “Proud of myself over 25 [grams] of protein and this is my second one.”
