When Tammy first started her weight loss journey appearing on the TLC reality show alongside her sister Amy Slaton-Halterman, she weighed 717lbs (51.2 stone).

The 37-year-old has since revealed she's made huge progress in her weight loss journey and in managing her food addiction.

In the latest season of 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy revealed she's lost around 183lbs - dropping from 717lbs to 534lbs.

She said: "When I got on the scale and I saw the scale was at 534.7, I kinda stopped breathing for a second.

"I'm like 14 lbs under my goal weight. From over 700, that's a huge drop.

"I'm feeling thrilled, proud, excited... just all the emotions. I proved everybody wrong. Everybody that doubted me, I finally got mine! My told-you-so moment!"

As a result of her weight loss, Tammy is now able to sit in a car seat and has even ditched the wheelchair, able to walk independently.

In another post to to TikTok she said she's in her 'main character era'.

Her progress is immense considering she once had to be placed in a medically induced coma after she stopped breathing.

And the 37-year-old has also had to process the death of her estranged husband - Caleb Willingham - who she married on season four of 1000-lb Sisters.

In a post to Instagram, Tammy commemorated Caleb with a picture of them together embracing.

The caption read: "Rip sweet angel you will forever be missed and loved so much thank you Caleb for showing me real love and happiness."
