Tammy Slaton shared her unfiltered reaction on 1000-Lb. Sisters to weighing less than her brother, Chris Combs, for the first time in decades.
In a clip from the show shared on Wednesday, November 13, via Instagram, Tammy, 38, revealed the last time she stepped on a scale she weighed 303 pounds. Three months later, she is down to a jaw-dropping 281.2 pounds.
“I’ll be goddamned. Congratulations, that’s good!” Tammy’s brother, Chris, said in the video.
Tammy was equally as excited about the achievement. “Chris said he weighs 284 [pounds]. I now weigh a little less than Chris. That’s mind-blowing,” she said in a confessional. “I think the last time I weighed 281 [pounds], I was in fourth or fifth grade. I’m the baby sister, but I’m not the ‘big’ baby sister no more.”
Tammy remained stunned by the number, asking her brother, “How am I lighter than you?” He replied, “You’re supposed to be lighter than me,” hinting that he had more muscle. Tammy joked why, “‘Cause I’m short?”
Chris, 44, was in awe of Tammy’s recent milestone, telling the cameras, “Tammy’s success makes me ecstatic.”
He then confessed, “Did I ever think I’d see the day that she was smaller than me? Well, no, probably not, because I never thought about her being smaller than me. She’s always been Tammy, big.”
Tammy has been on a years-long weight loss journey, which has been documented on the TLC series since 2020.
“At my rock bottom, I was weighing about 725 pounds,” she said during the October 15 episode.
Tammy was able to drop 115 pounds after entering an Ohio rehab facility in February 2022. Her wellness journey continued in September of that year when she underwent gastric bypass surgery.
Tammy revealed in August that she has lost 500 pounds since 2022. “The last time I saw Dr. Smith was about nine months ago and I was around 420 pounds,” she shared in an October episode of 1000-Lb. Sisters. “He told me I had to lose 100 pounds before my next appointment. I’m extremely nervous.”
After stepping on the scale, Tammy discovered she was down to 303.8 pounds. Tammy continued to focus on her health, losing 20 more pounds between visits.
Tammy, however, hasn’t lost enough weight to get the skin removal surgery she’s been wanting. “You’re a little over a year out,” her doctor said in a clip posted via TLC’s Instagram on Thursday, November 14.
