1000-lb Sisters fans are flocking to social media in support of Tammy Willingham after she gave a health update.

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!"

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