The Show’s Start and Dramatic Moments

“1000-lb Sisters” first aired in January 2020. Amy and Tammy had to weigh themselves at a junkyard due to their size. Amy weighed 406 pounds, while Tammy weighed 605 pounds. Despite their tears, they supported each other in their journey toward a healthier life.

Health Scares and Lessons

Tammy faced severe health scares, including COVID-19 and a near-death experience that led to a tracheotomy. These incidents taught her to appreciate life more and not take it for granted.

Family Tensions

The sisters have had conflicts, such as when Tammy refused to use an electric wheelchair at an amusement park, leading to tension within the family. Fans often criticized Tammy’s behavior on social media.

Amy’s Progress and Setbacks

Despite her initial progress, Amy had setbacks, such as indulging in forbidden foods shortly after her gastric bypass surgery. This led to disappointment from her doctor but motivated her to take her health seriously.

Achieving Her Goals

Amy’s determination paid off when she had her first child, Gage, in November 2020. Despite some setbacks, she continued to lose weight, reaching 250 pounds by February 2022, even while pregnant with her second child.

Amy’s Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Amy credits her weight loss to healthier eating habits influenced by her son, Gage. She craves healthier foods like salads with chicken breast and has reduced binge eating. Her new lifestyle has allowed her to be more active and present for her son.
