What is Amy Slaton’s and Tammy Slaton’s Net Worth?

In TLC’s documentary-style series titled ‘1000-lb Sisters,’ TLC documents the efforts of two obese Kentucky sisters as they attempt to lose weight to lead a healthy life. The Slaton sisters – Amy and Tammy Slaton – have suffered from health issues due to their excess weight for a long time. In the first season, the sisters had an aim to lose sufficient weight to get themselves approved for bariatric surgery. Amy weighed 406 lbs, and Tammy weighed 605 lbs making their combined weight be 1000lbs, which is where the name of the series stemmed from.

The sisters also have their personal issues they deal with through the series. Amy and Tammy attended the Union County High School, where the former met her now-husband, Michael Halterman. The Slaton sisters’ weight gain started going overboard after the death of their grandmother. Reportedly, their mother had multiple jobs and could not prepare nutritious or healthy foods for the sisters. As a result, they would depend entirely on packaged food. Amy’s personal struggle in her adult life arose from her and her husband Michael’s aspirations of starting a family together.

Amy wanted to bear a child. On the other hand, Tammy had severe issues with health owing to her weight. The most challenging part of committing to a strict regime of weight loss for the sisters was having to stick to a designed diet plan which cut their usual habit of eating too many unwanted things. In the course of their weight loss journey, the sisters seemed to have plenty of differences of opinion. However, they have not yet given up on each other, and their bond remains strong.
