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!"

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.

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