1000-Lb Sisters: "Hips Don't Lie!" Tammy Slaton's Cutest TikTok Dance Outfits After Extraordinary Weight Loss Milestone

Summary Tammy Slaton has lost over 400 pounds and gained confidence through dance after severe health scares.

Weight loss enabled Tammy to enjoy activities previously limited by her weight, like dancing and traveling.

Tammy's journey has inspired her siblings and followers, marking a positive change in her lifestyle.

Tammy Slaton has lost over 400 pounds since 1000-lb Sisters premiered in 2020, and she has been showing off her dance moves since slimming down. Before losing weight, Tammy's mobility was limited, and she rarely left the house. Back then, she didn't dance as much. Despite her diminished quality of life, Tammy refused to focus on losing weight. In fact, every time Tammy stepped on a scale, she seemed to weigh more. When Tammy made her television debut, she weighed 680 pounds. By the end of season 3, she weighed nearly 720 pounds.

Everything changed after a health scare landed Tammy in the hospital. When the 1000-lb Sisters season 5 star woke up from her medically-induced coma, she finally realized that her life was on the line. Tammy then checked into a diet rehabilitation facility to treat her food addiction. With diet, exercise, and bariatric surgery, she lost 400 pounds and counting. Not only did the weight loss transform Tammy's appearance, it completely changed her life. She's much happier, and confident, and has been showing off her dance moves on social media.

Weight loss changed Tammy's life in many ways. For one thing, it expanded her fashion options. Tammy went from size 8XL to size 2XL, which made it much easier for her to find more fashionable clothing. In March, 37-year-old Tammy posted a TikTok of herself dancing in a matching animal print pant set. The caption reads, "I know I can’t dance. I’m just having fun again sharing a smile. I hope everybody has a great day."

It's good to see Tammy dancing and having fun after the difficult loss of her husband, Caleb Willingham.

Tammy and Caleb met when they both checked into the same diet rehab facility. They fell in love and got married during 1000-lb Sisters season 5. Caleb was dealing with his food addiction, but unlike Tammy, he wasn't able to save himself. In 2023, just a few months after the wedding, her 41-year-old husband Caleb died due to complications caused by his obesity. Caleb's death was devastating for Tammy, but she managed to stay on her path to health and weight loss, which is what Caleb would have wanted.

In January, Tammy posted a TikTok video of herself dancing in a head-to-toe, zip-up Jack Skeleton-themed black-and-white jumpsuit, with a caption that read, "Ik i can’t dance but don’t kill my vibe. Just let me know I’m having fun lol." In the clip, she's dancing around, which isn't something she could've done before Tammy lost all the weight. Back then, she was afraid to stand up without her walker because she was worried she'd lose her balance. Now, Tammy can dance freely, with no walker in sight.

Before Tammy lost weight, dancing wasn't the only thing she was limited from doing. She couldn't leave the house on her own. She needed someone to help push her wheelchair and drive her around in a specialty van. This limited mobility robbed her of her independence, and she was a prisoner of her own body. Since losing weight, the 1000-lb Sisters star has enjoyed doing things that were restricted to her before, such as taking an airplane, going to the beach, and, yes, even dancing.

Tammy Slaton Has The Moves

"I'm On Tonight"

In March, Tammy posted a TikTok of herself dancing To "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. In the clip, she's wearing a Bohemian chic patchwork tunic shirt over a pair of silky pants. The post has 460.5K likes, and the caption reads, "Me just living my best life lol I’m being stupid. Just wanted to share a laugh with y’all." The reason all of Tammy's dancing videos feature her similar disclaimer is people can often be cruel in the comment section.

Though the majority of comments on this post congratulated Tammy for her incredible weight loss.

Tammy isn't the only Slaton who has lost a significant amount of weight over the years. Her sister and fellow 1000-lb Sisters star, Amy Slaton, lost 125 pounds since the show premiered. Their brother, Chris Combs, had weight-loss surgery during season 3 and lost over 150 pounds. Not to be left out of the fun, Amanda Halterman and Misty Slaton Wentworth had bariatric surgery on the same day in 2023. Though it's unknown exactly how much weight the two women have lost since surgery, it's clear from recent photos that they have lost a significant about of weight.

Dancing alone can be fun, but dancing with friends is always better. In November 2023, Tammy posted a TikTok announcement of the 1000-lb Sisters season 5 premiere. In the clip, Tammy and two unnamed friends are dancing up a storm to a remix of Abba's "Dancing Queen" as the announcement of the December 12 premiere date flashes overhead. Fans took to the comment section to offer their amazement at Tammy losing enough weight to be able to dance.

"The fact she’s up dancing is just amazing," wrote one TikTok user, while another cleverly said, "Tammy SLAYton."

Since losing weight, Tammy has gone from being trapped in her home to having the freedom and independence to get out into the world. She used to be limited to online friends, but now Tammy's a social butterfly who's always out with friends and family. Viewers will learn more about Tammy's weight-loss journey, as well as the journeys of all the Slaton siblings during 1000-lb Sisters season 6 when it premieres.
