Although the intention of the show was to capture both Amy and Tammy’s weight loss journeys, only one has been successful in doing so. Moreover, some fans took to social media to discuss whether the latter is the heaviest woman alive. That’s because she ended up gaining more weight since the show aired in 2020. So, is this true?

1000 Lb Sisters: Can Tammy Hold The Title For Being The Heaviest Woman? Fans Discuss!
As 1000 Lb Sisters took over TV screens, everyone grew fascinated by the journey of the Slaton sisters. In these three seasons, Amy Slaton Halterman has been successful in qualifying for the surgery and showing progress in shedding weight. However, her sister has been the opposite. It turns out that Tammy Slaton couldn’t keep her “food addiction” in check and ended up gaining more weight than shedding any. As per the latest episodes, her weight is around 640-650 lbs.
Therefore, TV Season & Spoilers highlights that some viewers took to Reddit to discuss whether this makes the TV star the ‘heaviest woman alive’. Then someone who did a quick google search mentioned the woman who holds the record weighs 643 lbs. Hence, fans believe Tammy Slaton is more than that. However, another account refuted these assumptions by saying the said record is from 2011. As a result, they claimed being around 600 lbs is not record-worthy. The comment mentioned that a person must have their weight count in 4 digits for holding a title like that.

However, there were some viewers who sternly asked her to stick to her weight loss goal. As a result, they wanted her to return home only if she sheds around 100 lbs or so.
