Amy Slaton’s First Solo Meet And Greet Was A Big Hit (Maybe She Doesn’t Need Tammy Slaton Anymore)

1000-lb Sisters stars Amy Slaton and Tammy Slaton used to always make public appearances as a package deal, but Amy has been branching out to do her own thing. The 37-year-old single mother recently made her first solo public appearance. It was the first time she had done a meet and greet without her sister, Tammy, 38, by her side. Of all the Slaton siblings, Amy and Tammy are the closest. The sisters are so close in age and are often referred to as Irish twins, and they grew up in the same house, unlike their other siblings.

When the show premiered in 2020, the sisters lived next door to each other. They lived together until Amy married Michael Halterman, and Tammy moved in next door. Back then, the sisters weighed a combined 1,000 pounds, which is where the show got its provocative title. By the time 1000-lb Sister season 7 premiered, Amy and Tammy had lost a significant amount of weight and had changed their lives. Lately, the sisters have both expressed a desire for more independence. Is Amy’s recent solo meet-and-greet a sign that the sisters are growing apart?

Amy & Tammy Are Closer Than Most Sisters

They’ve Both Been Wanting More Independence

Amy and Tammy have three other half-siblings, but they grew up in different households. Though the whole family is very close-knit these days, the other Slaton siblings, 44-year-old Chris Combs, 44-year-old Amanda Halterman, and 48-year-old Misty Wentworth, are much older than Amy and Tammy. Amy and Tammy lived together as children, and for many years, they also lived together as adults.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Before embarking on her weight-loss journey, Tammy weighed over 600 pounds, so her mobility was limited. She needed a lot of help with day-to-day activities, and Amy was there for her. After Amy got married, Tammy moved in next door, where she continued to rely on Amy and her husband, Michael Halterman, for help. After Amy and Michael got divorced in 2023, Amy even stayed with Tammy for a while, along with her two sons. Amy and Tammy have lived together more than most sisters ever will, so their relationship is unique on many levels.

Since losing weight, Tammy has expressed a desire to put more distance between herself and her family. The 1000-lb Sisters season 7 star even contemplated leaving Kentucky, which is where the show films. The show relies on generous tax rebates from the state of Kentucky, so if Tammy were to leave the state, it’s hard to imagine that the series would continue. She’s one of the show’s main draws, so she’ll hopefully rethink her threat.

Amy and Tammy lost weight at different paces. When Amy made her television debut, she weighed over 400 pounds. Wanting to have children, Amy had bariatric surgery during 1000-lb Sisters season 1, quickly lost 125 pounds, and had two healthy sons, Gage and Glenn Halterman. Tammy’s weight-loss journey wasn’t as linear as Amy’s. Tammy weighed over 600 pounds during the pilot episode, but went on to weigh over 725 pounds at her heaviest. After a health scare, Tammy had bariatric surgery and lost 500 pounds.

Despite moving at different paces, Amy and Tammy both lost weight. During 1000-lb Sisters season 6, they went out to celebrate their significant weight-loss achievements. The night served as an illustration of how Amy and Tammy have grown apart and found themselves on different paths over the years. Though the sisters are close, they’ve been pursuing their health and fitness goals at different paces. Amy lost weight faster than Tammy, so she’s further ahead in her overall journey.
