1000-Lb Sisters star Amanda Halterman has been working hard to be consistent in her weight-loss journey, and her recent post made Dr. Eric Smith cry about her tremendous progress. Amanda, the older sister of 1000-Lb Sisters season 6 stars Tammy Slaton and Amy Slaton, has been dealing with her family’s difficult journey to becoming healthier versions of themselves for years. While the siblings have all faced different problems, they’ve all been doing their best to keep their heads above water through the physical and mental issues they’ve been dealing with. As Amanda moves through a new phase of her life, her physical health has been her priority.

1000-Lb Sisters' Amanda Halterman replied to Dr. Eric's Christmas wishes with a video sharing the love.

In a recent Instagram post, Amanda replied to Dr. Eric’s Christmas wishes with a video sharing the love. She explained that Dr. Eric, who performed her sister Tammy’s bariatric surgery and sent her on a new path to a healthier life, has done so much for the Slaton family and wished him a happy holiday season. Gushing over the doctor, Dr. Eric replied in the comments with his own positive message for the Slaton family, explaining, “I’m grateful to be a part of your families journey to health and happiness.”

Dr. Eric joked that he wasn't crying but that it was allergy season causing his tears before moving into a very meaningful reply to Amanda. Amanda's post received over 3,000 likes from her Instagram followers, with over 100 comments from people congratulating her on her progress and wishing her a Merry Christmas. One particular comment stood out to the 1000-Lb Sisters star.

@Murray.dena said that "life begins when you let go of the bad." The fan wanted Amanda to put all of that behind her since there's "so much good" ahead for her. Amanda liked this post so much that she replied to it in a separate video post. She noted that it's hard to let go of the "bad stuff" when it was a huge part of her life. Over time, though, she's gotten better at this.

1000-Lb Sisters season 6 recently ended. With only 10 episodes, the new season ended just as quickly as it began. All the siblings were dealing with various issues, both good and bad, including Tammy reaching new weight loss milestones, even though she's not quite ready for skin removal surgery yet. One intense moment for her involved an argument with Amanda, which will be felt for a long time. 1000-Lb Sisters season 7 could continue to dive into the dynamics of their relationship and see how they continue to move on from that low moment.

Dr. Eric has been a big part of 1000-Lb Sisters, so next season will likely still involve him in some capacity, especially as the cast members continue trying to make progress with their health journeys. As Amanda's message noted, Dr. Eric puts so much care into helping his patients. The 1000-Lb Sisters stars are so grateful for how much he has improved their lives.
