Tammy's Best Fan Encounter Outfits

1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has been sporting cute outfits during fan encounters before and after her extraordinary weight loss milestone. Before landing the TLC series, she and her sister Amy Slaton posted videos on YouTube. Tammy looks different at 278 pounds, shedding over 400 pounds throughout her weight-loss journey. Growing up, they ate junk food because their mother was away working. Tammy carried these habits into her adult life and struggled to lose weight for a long time. The real reason she lost weight was because she had a near-death experience that landed her in a coma.

After she was discharged, Tammy went to rehab and lost weight. She underwent weight-loss surgery, changed her diet, and got sober. Tammy was 725 when she started 1000-Lb Sisters and is now under 300 pounds. Tammy and Amy were social media stars prior to their reality series, and they’ve only grown in popularity since. They use social media to show off their progress, including posting their best meals and snacks after weight loss. Tammy enjoys interacting with her fans across her many social media platforms. As Lady Gaga would say, “there’s no other superstar” quite like Tammy.

Tammy & Her Fan Look “So Magical”

“This photo of us, it don’t have a price!” The 1000-Lb SIsters star is no stranger to fan interactions. Before Tammy lost over 400 pounds, she still enjoyed meeting her supporters. In a picture posted to a 1000-Lb Sisters fan page, @1000lb_realitytv_updates shared a picture of Tammy and a fan before her weight loss. She wore a black and white striped jumpsuit and was seated in a wheelchair as the fan smiled and placed their arms around the reality star. In the early seasons of 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy said it was hard for her to do everyday activities because of her weight.

She resisted any advice that her friends and family tried to give her. Tammy tried to lose weight to qualify for weight-loss surgery but often fell short. She used a walker and wheelchair to help her get around. Tammy never wanted to try and walk without assistance. On 1000-Lb Sisters, the Slatons went on a family vacation. Tammy rode all the way to their rental home and wouldn’t get out of the car when she arrived at their destination. She was worried about using the ramp that led to the entryway of the house.

“I don't care what I f***ing do tonight. I don't give a f***.”

Her family tried to assure her that she would be okay, but she did not listen. She refused to leave the van and ended up not partaking in the vacation because of her anxiety about the ramp. Tammy held herself back from experiencing life for a long time. She even picked up the nasty habit of drinking, smoking, and eating excessively to cope with her stress. This proved to be detrimental to her health, and she landed in the hospital after a night of partying.

Chris decided to lose weight because he wanted to be present in his daughter’s life. He was 450 pounds when he joined the series and has since lost 140 pounds.
