Summary
Though it hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows,1000-lb SistersstarAmy Slaton, has had her share of good times since losing a significant amount of weight. When she made her television debut alongside her sister, Tammy Slaton, Amy was obese. In the first episode, Amy was so heavy that she couldn’t weigh herself on a regular bathroom scale. She had to drive to the local junkyard to step on an industrial scale instead. Seeing the number added insult to injury, as the scale read 408. Amy knew she was heavy but didn’t realize it was this bad.
The number was especially devastating because it would interfere with Amy’s dream of being a mother. Since she couldn’t carry out a healthy pregnancy at her size, Amy focused on getting healthy. After having bariatric surgery, the1000-lb Sistersseason 5star lost 125 pounds. Amy’s journey wasn’t always easy, as weight loss never is, butshe has stayed on her weight loss journey through the ups and downs. Even though Amy has had a rough road in her personal life the last few years, there have been good times.
