1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton shows off dramatic weight loss as she makes unexpected career move

Star of reality TV show 1000-Lb Sisters Amy Slaton has shown off her weight loss in an unexpected video posted to social media.

Amy, 38, from Kentucky had appeared on the TLC series along with her sister Tammy Slaton which followed their journey through various weight loss treatments including surgeries, as well as showing their daily lives.

A new season of 1000-Lb Sisters is now due to premiere on September 1, and Amy took to social media with a post ahead of its release.

Amy shared a post to her Instagram page in which she announced that she is releasing an AI-generated track called Pounds Hollow, which will be shared on August 26.

The post featured a clip from a music video of the AI-generated track, and included Amy looking at the camera wearing a bralette top while the track played.

This included her holding out her arms, with the text 'but i did tho...' superimposed on the clip, while the caption read: "Y'all are getting a little sneak peek, but this is only part of the journey!

"From an idea in my head, to the music, filming, editing, and finally watching everything come to life - this one means a whole lot to me."

She added: "Y'all are gonna get to see the process, the work, the laughs, the nerves, and everything that went into making this dream a reality."

The track was seemingly not well-received by Amy's brother however, with a preview of the new season showing him saying: "If you use AI to do anything, you didn't do it."

Amy went on to describe the process as 'stepping outside my comfort zone' and 'something I'll never forget'.

She added: "This isn't just about dropping a music video. It's about watching something that started as an idea grow into something REAL."

Amy's continuing weight loss journey will also be a part of the upcoming show.

Previously she had weight more than 400lbs before 2019, when she had bariatric surgery, with PEOPLE reporting in 2023 that she weighed 230lbs following the procedure.

Meanwhile her sister Tammy had bariatric surgery in 2022 and reportedly dropped from 700lbs to 200lbs, meaning that she had lost 500lbs overall.

Tammy had previously opened up about the sisters' weight and health, including how they had gained the weight.

"We grew up with fast food mostly. There was five kids, so our mum worked three jobs," she said.

"We didn’t really get much love and affection growing up. It was actually quite the opposite. We got told we were stupid, we were lazy."

Tammy shared that she lost the weight due to a combination of bariatric surgery and rehabilitation for food addiction, as well as procedures to remove excess skin following the weight loss.

"The only problem is this excess skin is out of control," she said previously on the show.

The procedure to remove the excess skin took eight hours, which Tammy said that she had worked 'really hard' for, with the surgery taking place in 2025.
