Since the premiere of 1000-Lb. Sisters in January 2020, Tammy, who stars alongside her sister Amy Slaton Halterman, has been open about her health struggles.

Tammy’s journey isn’t just about physical transformation; she’s also shared how her mental health has improved.

I personally have seen a lot of growth within myself and how I treat people and my family. And just my attitude and how happy I seem. I smile a lot more.”
In addition to her weight loss, Tammy has celebrated other life milestones. She shared that she experienced new adventures, including riding on rides at Disney World and taking a hot air balloon ride. “I value life now, where before I hated it. I hated everything about life,” she said.
