Tammy Desperately Needs to Focus on Her Weight Loss
It’s incredibly important for Tammy to feel loved and supported through her weight loss journey, and while dating is fun, her inability to drop any weight has her family genuinely worried that she may die soon.
During Season 1 of the reality series, Tammy never reached her weight-loss goal. She sat by and watched as her sister Amy Slaton-Halterman moved ahead with the weight loss surgery, and Dr. Procter, their physician, was forced to drop her as a patient.

Along with her brother Chris Slaton, who’s also vowed to lose weight this season, Tammy met with a new surgeon in hopes of getting approved for gastric bypass surgery. However, in the month since she last saw a doctor, Tammy discovers that she has not lost any weight – she’s somehow gained 50 pounds.
In 30 days, Tammy went from weighing 595 pounds to 644.5 pounds. Chris, who dropped 20 pounds in one month, couldn’t believe it. “I didn’t even think that was humanly possible,” he says.
In the episode, Amy Slaton-Halterman reveals that she ordered a meal-service to be delivered to Tammy’s house, but that she ate all 32 meals in two days.
