Tammy Slaton, star of 1000-lb Sisters, wowed fans with a picture of herself in a mermaid-themed bathing suit and flaunted her impressive 440-pound weight loss.

The TV star, 37, who appeared on the TLC reality series with her sister, Amy Slaton, was photographed next to her friend and psychic medium, Haley Michelle, in the recent picture uploaded on Wednesday, April 24.

“Proud of you,” Haley said in the photo’s caption.

“You look so good!! I’m so happy for you, you’ve come so far and put in so much work and it’s showing off every single day!” another wrote.

Another wrote, “Omg tammyyyyy you’re such an inspiration. So much hard work. You’re killin’ it. We love you, queen Tammy.”

Tammy rocketed to fame on TLC’s 1000-lb Sisters, where her and her sister’s weight-loss journey was documented. She weighed 725 pounds when she was at her heaviest.

Fans have not only seen glimpses of the physical and emotional challenges of the sisters’ journey, but they also saw Tammy experience several health scares over the years. She underwent bariatric surgery in 2022 and shed a total of 440 pounds since beginning her weight loss transformation.

“I wised up and got my surgery,” Tammy said in an update she gave People last June.

“I’m feeling great! I’m thankful to be alive,” Tammy said in an update last year, “and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am”

“I was able to make my lungs strong enough to get my trach [tracheostomy tube for breathing] out, and then recently the doctor cleared me to be off my oxygen machine during the daytime,” she continued.

Tammy was able to forgo being hooked to an oxygen tube and can now walk on her own without the help of a walker.

“Now I only wear my oxygen at night, along with my BiPap machine,” she told the outlet. “I monitor my oxygen levels throughout the day and keep my machine on hand in case I need it.”

“I’m feeling great! I’m thankful to be alive, and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am,” she added.

As someone who lost a lot of weight later in life, when your skin doesn’t “snap back” like it used to and you end up with a lot of loose skin (though mine isn’t extreme and is slowly diminishing), I hope Tammy is able to have her loose skin removed, so she can have ease of movement and really experience the full benefit of her newfound health, energy, and body. She’s too young to not be able to fully enjoy her new lease on life.

WTF is this? Binitha, your obsession with 'celebrity' needs treating, this is ridiculous.

The angle of the first pic is terrible - reminds me of Grand Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda

Fire Binitha, please. She's turning BP into Buzzfeed, and frankly they do it better.

I'm convinced Binitha Jacob is just Andréa Oldereide's other pen name. Go work for a tabloid and leave this garbage in the bin where it belongs 👎🗑️

No joke. She's real and lost a huge amount of weight. Her skin hasn't caught up, because she lost it fast with baric surgery. Good for her.

I have a strong dislike for people who pretend someone looks amazing when they clearly don't. What Tammy DID was amazing, that she lost that weight was amazing. She's bound to be much healthier, it does look better then before, but we don't need to pretend it looks good. It sucks that it doesn't, but come on... why lie?

I have a strong dislike for people who say that people *don't* look amazing when they've dropped massive amounts of weight. I don't need to "pretend" that it looks good. I don't need to "pretend" that she looks (more) amazing now than she did at 700+ lbs. I have morbidly obese family members, and if any of them lost large amounts of weight, I would tell them - with honesty, not having to "lie" - that they look amazing. I'm no "healthy and beautiful at ANY size!!!" kind of person (have had too many family members die to obesity-caused issues) but I am disgusted that YOU think that OTHER PEOPLE are "pretending" when they say Tammy looks good. We get it, YOU think she's still ugly and disgusting and gross - that comes through VERY clearly between the lines in your comment - but OTHER PEOPLE aren't like you and aren't "pretending".

Every time I see her or her sister Amy I’m just astounded that they got their own tv show after doing a GoFundMe scam. They pretended Tammy was dying and they needed money for the funeral.
