It was right after a health scare in 2014 that she decided to start vlogging with Amy.<\/p>\n
“I had just got out of the hospital,” Tammy recalled to People<\/em><\/a> in 2023. “I found out I had a blood clot in my right lung, and I was bored. I was just sitting there watching YouTube videos. I was like, ‘Why not? We\u2019re funny, whatever. Why can\u2019t we do it too?’ So, I pitched the idea to her, and here we are.”<\/p>\n Their journey to the small screen began when their videos caught the attention of execs at TLC.<\/p>\n “At first, they wanted a big YouTuber weight loss show,” Amy told the magazine, “and then they\u2019d seen us and they were like, ‘No, these two need their own show.'”<\/p>\n 1000-lb Sisters<\/em> premiered on Jan. 1, 2020. And for the past seven seasons, Tammy, Amy and their siblings<\/a> have all undergone dramatic weight loss transformations.<\/p>\n At her heaviest, Tammy told People<\/em>, she was 725 pounds. But after attending a rehabilitation center, making changes to her lifestyle and undergoing bariatric surgery in 2022, she\u2019s lost more than 500 pounds.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
