Meet Tammy Slaton, the 1000‑lb Wünder
How One Woman Goes from Massive to Marvelous
- Before: The photo shows Tammy standing on a 19‑foot scale, with a bag of popcorn in one hand and a monstrous pizza in the other.
- After: A selfie taken on a sunny porch, her shoulder muscles glinting and a tiny “I Did It!” sticker on her sleeve.
- Bridge: She swapped her super‑chaos diet for a “pick‑one‑food‑group” rule and added a daily walk that turned from a stroll to a full‑blown jog.
When Tammy first hit the 1000‑lb mark, her friends started calling her the “Human Weightlifting Wall.” It wasn’t long before she decided that a 1000‑lb life didn’t feel as “awesomesauce” as a life where she could, say, grab her coffee without agreeing to scream “I do a coffee load.” So, she set up a support circle with her best bud, kept a running journal, and unleashed the 24‑hour “No‑snack‑hour” policy.
Key Moments (The Before/After Story)
- First weigh‑in: 1000 lbs minus 0 lb.
- First week: 920 lbs – a 80‑lb drop; she celebrated with a bag of donuts, but obviously she’s never dis‑dizzied.
- Six months: 650 lbs – Tammy took a selfie on the front lawn, pretending she’s a new-born baby.
- One year: 640 lbs – she’s now comfortable walking back to the clinic for her yearly check‑up, and all they ask is, “Do you want another pie?”
It wasn’t a walk‑in helpline miracle; instead, it was a gladiator‑style grind, with a sprinkle of humor every time she missed a step. Because, if you’re going to walk fast, you’re going to laugh at the sidelines— both the ones in her body and the ones around her. “It’s not a parade,” she stays, “but it sure feels like one.”
What You Can Take Home
- Budget your calories like you budget a movie budget – pick your hero meals.
- Make a “thank‑you” list for every drop – feel the humble feeling.
- Find a friend who can hold you accountable ( and a snack buddy who also wants to stick to the plan ).
Now that she’s made a giant leap toward a healthier lifestyle, the lessons for the rest of us are simple: Pick shoes that sparkle, count your scales as “count your achievements”, and remember, worthwhile weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint— even if you need custom‑made shoes. Cheers on the new fluffless you, Tammy!

Ashley’s Weight‑Loss Journey: Two Surgeries and One Unexpected Twist
When it comes to the “sympathy” column, Ashley’s story is a mix of sweat, laughter, and a dash of nervousness that most of us can’t help but relate to.
Why Two Surgeries?
Unlike her friends, who championed the “Lemonade Sunrise” diet, Ashley decided to dial it up with a bit more medical flair. In a recent episode of Season 1, she opened up about her two weight‑loss surgeries, revealing the real reason she’s turning this health saga into a headline.
Life After the Operation
- Walking is a Workout: She jokes that her legs are now on “tourist mode.” Even a casual walk feels like a marathon.
- Post‑Work Exhaustion: She feels so drained after an office day that she’s convinced her chair is a nap‑machine.
- Standing Is a Risk: “I can’t stand for more than a minute,” she admits, “and the thought of not being able to hold my coffee for the whole morning makes me nervous.”
The Emotional Spin
Despite the tiredness and the wake‑up calls from her body, Ashley keeps the mood light. She says:
“I’m the ‘unhealthiest’ I’ve ever been.”
“It’s like my body’s having a dramatic crisis, but I’m here with my pacifist stance—just breathing and hoping the next instruction comes with a coffee token.”
Her candidness has sparked an emotional connection with viewers, who are now tuning in not just for the drama but for authentic empowerment.
Takeaway
Shortly after her surgeries, Ashley recognizes: the keys to longevity involve more than medical miracles; it’s about crew: patience, stance, and a generous pinch of humor.
