This is actually my favorite and only way of watching some TLC show so it's okay with me if you think you take a long time for me it's constant content from you.!!
The mad Latina woman photo with the flip-flop (the most effective disciplinary parenting method) crack me up! I'm a Latina mama and yes, the chancleta (flip-flop) works! -I also DO NOT CONDONE vilence
I think it's sweet how much Amy says "I'm a Mom" / "I'm Gages Mom" you can tell that being a Mom was something she had ambitions of becoming and she's super happy and content with being a Mother
I'm so proud of her and all her progress especially how she handled stopping to be Tammy's caretaker and hiring a new one. taking care of herself and her family in the best way for all of them
It sounds like Amy is trying to break generational burdens. Learned bad behaviors from childhood are the hardest to break. My heart ached to watch her, but I'm incredibly happy to see her progress and development as a woman, mother and a person in general. Now her sister Tammy, she ain't sh*t though.
My heart BROKE for Amy when she hit her rock bottom regarding her hoarding behaviour. She is obviously so ready to change, ready to take her life into her own hands and better herself and her life. I’m so proud of her. The journey to health and wellness isn’t easy, but it is so rewarding ❤️
Same because you can tell she was sharing so much vulnerability and really taking her choices seriously. Tammy is so afraid of admitting she’s vulnerable and it’s holding her back
Yup, and to do so on national tv? That can’t be easy. It’s difficult enough to do it in private but her willingness to go there on tv is very matter of fact and definitely her taking ownership. I love it.
Same here! I understand the fight against the crawling nasties. I also understand how hard it can be to keep the house up when weight or physical health keeps you from doing everything that needs to be done. It’s incredibly depressing as well, which makes it even harder.
Same! Hoarding can be an addiction just like food can be. I’m so proud of her for taking control of her life. I know it wasn’t easy for her but she is making so much positive progress for her and her family.
It’s really cool that some day gage will be able to watch this footage and see how much his mom changed for him and how much she wanted him and loved him. Amy’s story is so beautiful honestly.
Living with a chronic pain disorder, I can say my life significantly improved when I stopped asking myself "will it hurt?" and started asking myself "can I do it anyways?". It's amazing what you can accomplish when you DECIDE that the pain won't kill you unless you let it. Tammy needs to decide the same and start walking!!
Right. That's part of why I got back into working out because I was suffering really bad from chronic pain and refused to just sit around and let it take over my life. I've been working out regularly again for the past 4 years and I have a ton of energy again and even though I do have pain flare-ups they're not nearly as bad. And best of all, I'm not sitting around victimizing myself feeling sorry about my situation, I'm actively changing it. Back in school after leaving my career of ten years and an abusive relationship with the father of my two kids who I had known for over 20 years...he ended up developing a covert addiction and began stealing from me, destroying my credit, getting physical, etc. I've been single for the past 5 years now, repaired my credit, bought a new car after he trashed my old one, and I'm currently getting my bachelor's degree in construction management after working in healthcare for the past 15 years. I'm too busy to worry about the pain, when he lived with me I was miserable working from home, dealing with verbal and psychological views, dealt with a lot of people close to me dying and had a miscarriage, there was a lot going on but nothing so much better in my life and I have taken control once again. I've also lost over 20 lbs and gained back 10 as muscle.
It’s amazing how cancer patients who go into remission are what can I do today? Can I push myself that little bit more? They are saving their own lives. I’m happy that you follow the same guidance, it’s what makes the strong stronger
The fact that Tammy went to the rehab facility and exercised and walked everyday then when she got home and acted like it was too difficult proved that they should’ve just left her at the facility for a few more weeks.
Tammy has this defense mechanism where if she doesn't like something, she completely eliminates it from her life, no subtlety. She has no understanding that if walking hurts, you do a little at time. I'm baffled the nurse even has to attempt to encourage her. She has chosen death
Yeah, i know it sounds harsh but Amy needs to put her in a home or just give up on her and let her eat herself to death like she wants. Tammys doing nothing but dragging everyone else down and Amy has tried everything. If Tammy wants to die its time to just let her have at it.
You can't want more for a person than they want for themselves. Tammy has no desire to lose weight. She just tells people what she thinks sounds good in that moment.
I just wanted to put her in the Nick Avocado category, that the fame tastes too sweet to lose weight. But it seems that she wants to lose the weight. Just wont put the freaking effort in. I just hate it whe she starts blaming others. 🤦🏻♀️
I started watching 1000 lb sisters in February 2021, I was around 220 lbs. I was scared straight and started going to the gym 3-5 days a week and as of now I am down to 152 lbs. the difference is night and day, when your body is healthy it definitely helps your mental health as well.
I can safely say that I don’t want to end up anything like Tammy. And I definitely got scared straight by her. I’ve definitely lost weight but not because of Tammy.
Seeing Amy and Tammy sitting together on the couch now and remembering how they looked in the same place when the show began makes me SO proud of Amy! She has come so far and she's genuinely working on self-improvement in many ways.
I wish TLC would hire you to say all this in Tammy's face hahahaha i feel guilty for laughing so much because I know the topic is serious but the way you deliver the jokes is HILARIOUS
@@LilySaintSin that is what is so wrong with these “shows”! This shouldn’t be entertainment!!! These are real people with real lives and the channels need to take responsibility for creating literally death for entertainment!
Great job! I am struggling with trying to lose weight also. I had health issues last year that kept me off my feet. Watching these videos are definitely motivating. I have lost 7 lbs since last month.
Amy's attitude is what most people should strive for. Getting out her comfort zone, taking care of her health, taking care of her family to the best of her abilities. I felt bad too, when she found a dead rodent. Good for her, taking responsibility is the hallmark of maturity.
@@SshhhTrouble it doesn’t work for all situations unfortunately. Who would have tough that trying to socialize with social anxiety would have end up in disaster🫠.
When i started loosing weight, i was a bit less then Tammy was (525 pounds). Walking, no matter where, was pure and endless suffering. But as Michelle said, you need to push through the pain and i started with really small walks around the company building i work for. And slowly and steadily i increased the length of these walk. Now i can workout intense cardio and walk plus 25.000 steps without beeing in endless pain. But: I lost around 330 pounds to get there and worked hard for many years. Tammys body will just be more miserable IF she decides to change something.
There wasn't enough congradulation here! Wonderful!! I am sure you had to beat way more than just pain while walking, and I don't know your struggles, but I know you had a lot and you conquered them all and it's really a huge accomplissement. I am so happy for you :D
👏 you seen Dr Proctor when you started that? (I mean the episode where he told Tammy to do exactly what you did.) Walking is my favorite exercise (and dancing to fav country/bluegrass songs) so like everyone else good job
Tammy is the most disrespectful, petulant person I've ever seen in my life. That nurse was just trying to help her and the way Tammy spoke her made my blood boil.
"Its not easy opening up to people", Tammy said to the doctor. Tammy meets random men on the internet and opens her home to them. . .that's that new math.
Exactly, she keeps going on about how hard it is to open up but then she tells literally everything to a guy she only knows online or has met like one or two times. There's just so many "are you though" moments with Tammy 🙄
Amy is really something, she clearly grown up without learn a lot of self care habits and she is doing her best to better herself so her kid can lead a different life. I know that means nothing coming from a stranger (who also not that good at take care of themselve) but I feel so proud for her, she's an inspiration and now I'm really motivated to go to the gym cause if Amy can be better, so can I.
I absolutely agree. My problems/ addictions are slightly different, but boy, Amy is a very inspiring woman. She’s helping me by living her journey and I’m glad that others are also gaining similar motivation from her -let’s all improve together! Props to Amy and her family and congratulations on your newest addition. As they say “you go girl!” 🙏
Amy had me tearing up. It is so hard to unpack and unlearn toxic behaviors we were brought up with. She's already done it once, and I have faith that she'll be able to do it again. She's a good mom and I'm so happy she's doing so well!
I actually kind of like how this show shows the difficulty that comes from change. Amy having a an emotional moment over her hoarding is a healthy attitude. It’s overwhelming to see how bad things have gotten but getting your emotions out is part of the process of change. I have faith she’ll change.
With Amy, she's not only looking after herself more physically, but mentally (focusing on her family and not Tammy) and now her environment. I'm quite excited for her
I’m so proud of Amy. She may not be perfect but she has the drive to do her very best for her son. As a mother, that speaks volumes and I’m rooting for her.
I totally understand how Amy feels, but she needs to remember that she took the initiative and called these people in to help her with her cleaning issues. *She took those difficult first steps to fix the problem,* because she wants to change, and that speaks volumes about her strength of character. This was rock-bottom for her, but from here on the only way is up, and with her track record, I think she'll nail this as well. As for Tammy... girl needs to move. Back when I was over 200lbs (far too heavy for someone of my height,) I used to get repeated bouts of severe cellulitis in my right leg - I'm talking 'ending up in an ICU in hospital for a week on intravenous antibiotics' severe. Cellulitis is no joke as far as pain is concerned; my right leg would swell up to double its size and turn bright red to purple from the knee downwards (often tracking up to my groin in the first few days,) and you're supposed to keep the leg elevated as much as possible to stop excess fluid pooling in the infected tissue. When you first move that leg from an elevated position to a vertical upright one (i.e. for sitting, standing and walking,) the pain is UNBELIEVABLE - your leg literally feels like a giant blood sausage that's about to violently explode - but if you can grit your teeth through that initial pain, it gradually fades enough that you can shuffle around on that leg to take a bathroom break or just do some moving around or whatever. *I made myself do that every time,* because I learned very quickly that avoiding doing it just made it more of an emotional hurdle to try and do it, which slowed my recovery and meant I was more of a burden for on the nursing staff for a longer time. You HAVE to do the hard, painful stuff sometimes, and yeah, it sucks - but it's the only way to break through to recovering.
I admire Amy for taking responsibility and getting out of her comfort zone to improve her life. It’s very hard to admit that you are at fault. It translates to everything in our lives and I know plenty of super fit, successful people who still would never admit that they ever did anything wrong and reach out for help.
Seriously, she has come such a long way, comparing her to the “Chubby bunny” video she and Tammy did to now, there is such a difference physically and even mentally. I’m really proud of her
My mom was “good cop”. My dad was the one that usually handled discipline. If I copped an attitude, he would look away for a sec, then turn and look directly at me with eyebrows raised as if asking “you wanna play games? You think you’ll win?” Those 3-5 seconds of silence was where you write your will in your head and think of a way to save your ass
Both of mine were the disciplinarians. I never stood a chance and I am a much better person because of it. People can't hold jobs or relationships because of their lack of self control as children and being told how to behave.
I feel very happy for Amy's tears, but not because I want her to feel bad. She is experiencing emotions and feeling them through hard, without eating them up. That is a positive thing and achievement. I hope once she cleans up the house woth help, it'll stay clean amd tidy.
oh yeah, those are familiar tears. They are tears of: I have spent so much time denying this reality and the severity of the problem, but now I'm finally ready to face it in all it's painful aspect. These are the break-through tears that Tammy desperately needs.
I used to be a personal trainer and I really felt it when Tammy said "I cut out all carbs." Girl, we all know you're lying. And then Amy... I'm proud of her, too! She's really digging in to some tough stuff, but she's getting through it. She's had the best character arc out there!
Amy is a Good example of what body positivity should be. She wants to get healthy, but isnt changing her self like she could if she wanted aka plastic surgery even tho she could afford it.
@@somdutroy At the size Amy started at, excess skin could still have a decent weight, which is causing more stress to her body. Also skin infections can occur between the folds.
@Bröther May I Have Some Lööps This is correct! It is common for welts, rashes, chaffing and even fungal/bacterial infections to form in the areas where the skin rubs, or holds sweat! It's certainly not just for cosmetic reasons by any means! Especially when it's due to extreme weight loss.
@@gram1976 She is very upbeat and positive... Dealing with someone like Tammy would be stressful, depressing, and probably made her angry to some degree. She didn't deserve the negativity or the disrespect. I'm sure Tisa would be happier working with someone who actually appreciates her help.
Good on you Amy for breaking the cycle. She has taken every single opportunity this show has given her and ran with it. She had the surgery first shot , saved for a house , she isn't spending her money on frivolous stuff and she admits her wrongs . I also love watching Chris, Amanda and Misty Tammy is just a lost cause . She is rude, abusive and lies constantly. She thinks she can manipulate and get away with it.
I hate feeling someone is beyond saving if they're breathing...but tammy .. I think she is lost cause. she absolutely refuses to even Try and it is even worse with her nasty attitude. I know she is suffering inside..but she is the only one who can do anything about it. she has a team of people standing right there wanting to help her with everything, which is something many who WANT to change could use, yet she sits there and lies and yells and acts ridiculous. we all have eyes..Its just too much. i wonder what she would do if Nobody was there..if she would get up and walk??I doubt it. I cant believe she threatened to call the cops on amy if Amy didnt get her junk food!!! that is a whole other level of AWFUL
@@izzyjones7108 she is absolutely suffering BUT she is so so lucky to have such an amazing and supportive set of siblings and in laws plus all the 10s of thousands of dollars worth of help from TLC so many people would kill for those appointments. Amy was paying for her nurse, the hotel, the electric wheelchair. She has no idea how much she has done for her . She doesn't want to do anything even mildly uncomfortable. I would LOVE to see her succeed but the abuse is something I cannot condone
@@izzyjones7108 so the few times the siblings have left her to her own devices she ends up on life support then goes to rehab loses about 60 lbs then comes home promises to change and does it all again. This isn't just the last few years its her whole adulthood
@@izzyjones7108 imagine if amy was arrested. She has a small baby relying on her. Disgusting hey to even threaten that. Those are the things I cant look over! You are so right with everything you said
I’m proud of Amy too! Tammy doesn’t want to walk, doesn’t want to eat healthy, doesn’t want to see a therapist, yet everyone is catering to her - why. This drives me crazy.
I absolutely love the progress Amy is going through, she got her family together, her health together and now her home. She's making very good progress and I'm so proud of her
I agree. It sucks imo bc it seems a lil like TLC 's focus is more on Tammy for the drama of her uncooperative attitude. Meanwhile amy is like rocky balboa running up those steps, all "eye of the tiger" strong. I could be wrong tho, i don't really watch the show lol
This is a horrible thing for me to say but if everyone left Tammy to her own devises she would either lose the weight and figure out how to take care of herself or she would die and though I don't want Tammy to die it's really hard to help someone that doesn't have the drive to help themselves. I really hope she ends up back in rehab for her sake.
It must be exhausting to be Tammy. Constantly whining, always a victim, always fighting with everyone. Ugh, what a horrible life she’s leading. And she’s got more resources than anyone else. Most would love to have the support she has. Selfish!
The problem is Tammy is like a drug addict or an alcoholic. You can yell at them, beg them, threaten them, leave them, scream and say, “you’re going to die if you don’t change!” But you can’t get them to get clean unless they want to. They have to make the decision once and for all and they have to really WANT it. Because it’s a life long commitment. Sometimes, when you’re in that deep you have already accepted that death could happen at any moment, and you become ok with it. And I see that in Tammy. She’s a lost cause, in my opinion. She’s pretending in front of her family because she doesn’t want to just come out and say it. I’ve been there. I was positive I’d never live past 30 and I didn’t even want to. Luckily, I was able to pull myself out of that depression hole. But I recognize it in her. I feel so bad for her. When you don’t feel like you’re worth it, it’s really difficult to work that hard for something you don’t think you even deserve. I pray for her, but I don’t have much hope.
But did you blame, manipulate and bully others during this process? It's all well and good feeling sorry for yourself but when you feel so entitled to someone's help, like Tammy is, then I don't believe she's experiencing the thing you're describing. She wants to be treated like a child, to be given everything that she wants with no pushback, and that is the issue. Even in Season 1 she treated Amy with so much scorn that I was shocked Amy was still helping her. Tammy didn't feel an ounce of happiness for her sister when she was losing weight and instead took out her frustrations on her for her own actions. She's a nasty little gremlin.
@@peachesandcream8753 that all comes with it, I use to the same in regards to my mental health. Now I’ve been in therapy for a year and I’m getting better every session. I see the same in Tammy, she really has to want to do it, my girlfriend left me and that’s when I realize I need to help myself if I didn’t want to lose her for good.
@@peachesandcream8753 I 100% agree with you. That was kind of my point. She doesn’t think anything is her own fault or problem. That’s why she’s never gonna get better cause she has to want to help herself and instead she’s blaming and bullying others.
I feel so bad for Amy. It's upsetting that their house has this as a baseline, but her awareness and desire to improve for her son is very admirable. Big respect for her to be willing to have professionals come help instead of denying any problems or the severity. We stan Amy 👏
Amy goes through rough times confronting her issues and draws strength from her desire to raise a healthy child with healthy habits. Wishing her lots of strength for the future. It’s also beautiful to see how Michael is supporting her. I hope Tammy finds the strength and courage to follow Amy’s example.
I'm rooting for Amy. It's hard to be faced with these things, but I know she can do what she sets her mind to do. Tammy is just Tammy. She doesn't want to change and will bite off the head of anyone who tries to encourage her to change.
Good lord the PATIENCE of home help aids/ nurses 👏🏽 like DAMN, ya’ll are so much stronger than I ever would be. I’d end up losing my mind with people like Tammy
After your last video on the Slatton sisters I got curious and went on Tammy’s IG page. She’s had a tracheotomy recently and in the comments it was said that often times if you do not clean your machine routinely it can lead to a nasty infection and subsequently they will trach you. Which lead me to inquire about my grandmother’s oxygen machine. Come to find out she hadn’t been cleaning hers as she should, she wasn’t even aware that you had to since the company providing her machine never gave her an instruction manual or tutorial on maintenance routines. All this to say that had I not watched your video and made the small steps leading up to the discovery who’s to say what condition she could have landed herself in, so thank you!!! I love your content and I watch EVERY video. You keep me motivated!
My mother *definitely* went to that school of discipline!! 100% percent Spanish and she did not play. She passed in 2012 and I miss her every day. She was quite literally the best mom ever - strict but because she cared and completely and utterly devoted to our family. My brother and I especially were like her lodestars and she always thought of us first ahead of herself. My father feared my mother more than the IRS, he told me once 😁 rest in peace, Mom.
How on earth is she still alive at this point?! It's honestly a miracle that her body is still persisting is ASTOUNDING. On the plus side, YAY FOR AMY! :D
@@jessicaallen6731 It's like God is constantly giving her second chances but she just refuses to change. It's like at this point all He (and we) can do is just stare in annoyance and she continues to stuff her face. Sad really. :(
@@HlootooThunderhammerIKR? I’ve seen a girl from My 600 Lb Life who died this year, and she lost a considerable amount of weight. I don’t get how the heck Tammy survived being almost 800 pounds, especially with her narcissistic attitude towards her family. Some people don’t understand how lucky or blessed they are to be given a second chance, considering her attitude hasn’t improved since she finally lost weight.
That’s why she’s so mean to Amy. Amy was the last one of her siblings left to help (cater) to her but now Amy has lost weight and made a family to take care of.
@@legslikewhoa Amy needs to stop going over there. Might sound harsh but once again she’s going over there just to be verbally abused ain’t no point🤷🏿♂️ idc if that is “family”
@@Siabeysment i get narcissist vibes from tammy...taking advantage of family cuz it's family and you supposed to help " family" she is an energy vampire...draining and a BURDEN to other family members. Takes no responsibility for her poor nutritional intake then when she gets in dire straits, the family members that are (empaths who feel this emotional burden to help her)...i cut off family members like that. I feel NO ways.
Can we appreciate michael here for a minute? He's a wonderful husband & I swear he is never one to say no. I see him always pulling so much weight (pun intended) & toting tammy around. His legs are solid lol.
I'm super proud of Amy! Of the handful of diffrent weightloss journeys I have followed onYT , it seems she is really the only one that takes it her health seriously and wants to make positive changes in her life.
Amy should feel bad about having cockroaches and mice in her house due to her neglect, BUT she should use that awful feeling as motivation to never let her house get like that again. And instead of using her son as an excuse, they should use their son as inspiration to make a better, safe, and clean home for him and themselves. So proud of Amy. I don't think she received the best upbringing but it seems like she's trying to change her life around, take care of herself, and provide the best life possible for her son.
Right! She could get the roach bombs that works for 5 hours to kill them and get traps and get and inspector to come and kill and inspect the house to see how the creatures are getting in. I live in an apartment and my neighbor has roaches. They left and the roaches came to my place looking for food. I clean constantly so they don’t have any food. I also kill them once I saw them. I bombed my house with the roach stuff so they won’t be here and feast. I haven’t seen one in 2 years. I had a mouse once but the sticky traps got them and haven’t seen one in 1 year (I live in an older building). I get your busy but tlc is paying them $$. There’s no excuse to have rodents living peacefully In your house. Get someone with expert experience to get rid of them, but I fell TLC like the condition of the house for viewership/clicks (on UA-cam/Facebook) so ppl will talk about it. Just like Tammy not loosing weight (once she loose weigh, what will they name the show). It helps/pays TLC and only them. Reality shows are scripted/ manipulated and edited behind the scenes by others to tell the story THEY want. You never know if she got inspected and if the producers brought bugs and mice to spice up the show/viewership, to make them look like unkept rednecks overweight idiots (not saying they are, but the that’s the picture they are painting). Look how they did honey Boo boo and Mama June. I feel like the sisters are okay with whatever they want to do/ dont care how they make them look just to get a pay check.
It's so crazy seeing such extreme dichotomy between Amy and Tammy. Seeing each of them really does motivate me though. Watching Amy be optimistic and eager for change, then putting in the effort is really inspiring. It makes me want to try more in all aspects of my life. Seeing Tammy make excuses for herself, lie, deflect and blame others reminds me to be mindful of myself and that I am not doing that. I see her behavior and don't want to be anywhere near that attitude, so I strive to hold myself accountable and be kind to myself when I do mess up.
This is so true though, at least also for me. Although im not as unhealthy as Tammy it’s still a good reminder of what that spiral of no self control can lead to. Seeing Tammy’s outright denial basically helps me not be in denial about how my health is affecting my pain also. It’s important for us to check ourselves mentally too so we don’t become as unmotivated and bitter as Tammy
I do find the dichotomy between Tammy and Amy (and Chris) to be an interesting look into the differences in how people cope. I find Chris and Amy to be very similar. The way Tammy talks to them, specifically Amy, still after all these years seems to kind of take them aback like, where did you learn to treat people that way? Getting glimpses of their mother, I can see they obviously did not have a supportive childhood at all (see: the way she reacted to Amy's progress and getting married). But they all, I think, had the same parents, and yet both Amy and Chris are respectful, mostly responsible and kind individuals. Of course siblings don't have the exact same environmental experiences, but often share the same domestic advantages and disadvantages, yet the outcome is often so different.
I feel for Tisa. It has to be difficult to be a home nurse for a grown ass adult that throws toddler-like temper tantrums, while being 700 lbs. Especially since I'm sure it's Amy paying the bills for Tisa, and so her employer's expectations (help this 700 lb child not fall completely into immobility) are hard to meet.
I rewatched your old videos a few days ago. Those from like two or three years ago. You grew so much as a youtuber. The audio and camera quality got so much better. But also your scripting and editing is so much more refined. You started out strong and improved so much. Kudos to you.
I have to laugh every time during your intro. When you introduce the dogs, with a toot and a squeak, my JRT whips her head up when she hears the squeak. Even when she is sound asleep. Makes me laugh every time.
I am an Amy stan. I’m right now in a very cluttered room and struggling with my weight and trying to do everything to be better and Amy’s adventure of changing her bad habits impress me
I feel for Amy. Hoarding comes from the same place binge eating does. Your mental health. It's about comfort and being scared to confront the things that cause you pain. I believe in her and I hope somebody tells her that mess isn't a moral failing. Just like she lost weight, she can work on clutter and the reasons why it happened. Giving not just Gage but herself a functioning Home.
Imagine if something happened - like the snowstorms hitting the east coast recently - and no one was able to come over to help Tammy for a few days. What would she be able to do?
My mama had 8 of us and a 20 foot arm, she could nail you to the floor with one look, too😂 Thanks for the video Michelle, hope you're having a lovely week ♥️♥️♥️
Its so amazing. I feel like I’m watching Amy just wake up each time. Its beautiful, amazing and makes me so so so proud of her! As somebody who grew up in rural areas where hoarding and obesity were rampant, I just am so excited to see people like those around me wake up to their situation. LETS GO AMY!!!! also I think she is pregnant with a second child, so congratulations are in order as well!
I respect Amy. A few years ago, I’d probably thought I’d never say that but I really respect her and that’s a respect that she truly have earned every little bit of! I actually look up to Amy! Good job Amy!
I've watched a ton of those hoarder shows and usually they get emotional because they don't want to change. I am soooo proud of Amy! Her emotion was because she wants to change. Good for her!
It's great to see Amy doing so well. Especially her taking responsibility for the hoarding and trying to stop. My boyfriend's mom is a hoarder and it has caused him a lot of pain. I've still never even been to her house because he doesn't want me to see it. He has spent so many years of his life trying to help her, gotten her house all cleaned up multiple times, but she always slips right back in to it after a short while. I hope Amy will manage to stop so that Gage doesn't have to go through that.
I’ll say it again- TISA IS A LITERAL ANGEL 😇 also I’m surprised Tammy doesn’t have HORRIBLE pressure sores considering how immobile she is (nursing student here)
I'm not even a nurse. Just an unfortunate victim of a disease since birth along with my mom , but my great grandmother was only bed-ridden (not even completely) for a couple months before she died and SHE developed AWFUL bed sores. I am SHOCKED. She can't NOT have any. Maybe they just aren't showing them?
It's particularly sad that her family keeps up with Queen Tammy's lie that she can go to the restroom and bathe on her own. When we can look at her and see that it is physically impossible for her arms to reach herself to wipe front or back. So especially on a road trip where she wouldn't fit into the majority of bathroom stalls or fit on the toilet itself, she is for sure wearing a diaper. One that she does not change herself.
I wonder if it's not like written into her contract?? Like ok I'll do your show but my bathroom/diaper situation is not open for discussion.. could be. That's got to be so embarrassing, even for someone as lowbrow as Tammy.
2:08 Out of topic, YES! babies can swim at least 6 months old. They cannot do strokes or breaths. If you teach them, they will learn how to survive, float, and swim to a ledge. I do recommend teaching infants how to float and survive. Not only will they not be "traumatized", it'll be in their instinct to not thrash around when they're old.
Can I just say, I'm really happy for Michelle cuz every time I watch a new video of hers I see her number of subscribers keeps growing and she really deserves that. There's so much toxic bullshit on UA-cam and social media in general and she deserves recognition for being a beacon of common sense amongst all the crap.
Very glad she's getting help for the hoarding before it gets really bad. Unfortunately that's MAYBE a 3-4 on the hoarding severity scale. It's a devastating illness that goes way beyond "pretty gross". People lose their children because of hoarding. She's very brave to call for help and bring some light to the illness before it got to such a serious level!
Amy’s segment made me emotional and just found similarities within her story and just being confronted with issues is hard and trying to change is so so hard but wow she’s doing great and honestly quite inspiring because being around people who are negative and don’t want to change makes it all that more difficult to implement positive changes.
Thank you for your commentary, Michelle! I couldn’t get through a full episode if I tried, but it helps to see how Amy and Chris are challenging themselves.
I'm a recovering binge eater. Your videos always remind me that self love is not the same as self indulgence. Thank you. I'm at 190-ish right now, 150 is my goal.
I’m going through a rough patch in my weight loss journey, I don’t feel motivated to workout twice a day like I had been, having more cheat days and just feeling lazy overall but I’ve already set my mind on a goal and I know I’ll get there no matter how long it takes. I’ve lost 55 pounds in total so I know I’m capable of doing it. These videos kinda help keep me on track lol I’m so scared of having Tammy’s mentality cuz at one point I was close 😂 Edit: These comments are so nice 🥺 thank you for the words of encouragement! And to those on a weight loss journey as well, we can do it! This cold weather is just beating my ass lol but I’ll be back on track I’m sure of it 🥰
Congrats on your loss! I'm going through a rough patch right now, myself, so you're not alone there. But I think we can get back on track and continue our goals! I'm also with you on these videos, lol. I definitely don't want to dive back into something like Tammy's mentality (I have definitely been there before so definitely don't want to backtrack into it).
That's amazing! Keep going, you got this 👍 Not gonna lie, I was the same. I lost 100lbs this year & had a bit of a wobble over Christmas 😬 - but today I got back on the horse, cos even half a workout is more than none. Also to get motivated, try making a list of all the things you can do now, that you couldn't do before you lost the weight (i put things like walk upstairs without passing out, not being wedged in the bath tub etc 😆) I find it helps to be proud of yourself, pat yourself on the back & keep going💪
hey its a journey!! change is hard, and progress is NOT LINEAR !!! we are human beings, not machines. we cant just go straight up lol its always gonna be a bumpy road, but you can do it!! its okay to change up your routines a bit, if you cant workout twice a day right now maybe focus on something else like just moving around or eating better. i started my health journey last year in june. i only wanted to lose 12 lbs, and i reached my goal. then it was time to start focusing on gaining muscle. however, i got surgery on both my feet early dec. this changed my plans and my routines… i couldnt walk for awhile and had to rely on my mom to bring me food. her eyes arent the best so she couldnt weight out everything on my scale like i usually do, and she always gives me more than i want. and i wasnt in my own room cause i couldnt do stairs and man it brought me down so much. my energy, my mood, my health. at the start of this year i did my smart scale and saw i gained back 3 lbs and 1% body fat percentage. didnt really care about the weight but the body fat percentage really bugged me! and i knew it was cause i had been eating snacks and i wasnt counting calories or weighing food… i was lost for like a month and it really sucked. but like a week ago i just got really motivated again and i started counting calories and even tho i still cant do a lot of walking i can do some in surgical boots so i am focusing on eating better and cutting out snacks more. and trying to add more protein which can be hard sometimes as a vegan! but yea i got kinda depressed cause i had to stop weight training, but i found that when i decided to focus on food i got motivated again and im doing stuff again and i feel very positive about it!!! so yea just wanted to share my own experience lol cause i got really sad i couldnt move around, i had gotten used to it lol but when i started focusing on food again ive had more energy, i am more determined, and i feel like im back on track again. (: so good luck to you, i know you can do it !!! its okay if you arent following your plan to the t every single day. go with the flow ! do whatever is best for you in the moment. you got this!!!!
Even if you skip a day of exercise, even if you cheat, just keep working towards getting back on track. Almost all of us go through these moments during our weightloss journey. You can do it!
I love Amy so much she seems down to earth and really cares about the family she's building 💖 im very proud It's one thing to go through the weight journey, but to also take the initiative to change for the better on top of that is awesome. I hope her and her husband find a nice house to raise Gage
Love these videos. The crease in my shin was when I got stretch marks on my arms. I had always been insecure about my large arms and had been gaining weight. Once I saw those stretch marks I said “NO MORE” and got a gym membership
Yes! Baby Gage and Amy are our wholesome beacons of serotonin that distract us from the sheer stress radiated from Tammy's constant nagging and bitterness .:))♡
Tammy at the Doctors: I’ve cut out carbs.” Tammy in the car: “I had two slices of pizza, a burger, and a bacon cheese burger.” Guess my nutrition plan has been wrong all these years.
Hello. My wife and i just recently discovered your channel and instantly hit subscribe. Love the way you do your vlogs and the actual honesty in the way you do it. We look forward to many many more from you. Have a great weekend.☺
I'm so glad that finally someone has the balls to say what needs to be said. That's why I love your videos and if people would relax and actually listen to what your saying they would see that at the end theres a very valid point. I think I speak for most people that are familiar with Tammy Slaton when I say she is the most immature unappreciative inconsiderate and selfish baby I've ever seen and one of these days she will finally realize what she had and what she took advantage of and sadly it will be to late. I hate to say it but I honestly believe there is no hope for Tammy and it sucks because even though its the farthest from the truth Amy will feel like she didn't do enough and that's the sad part. I remember Amy's first video and it is night and day when it comes to her personality, she is so much happier now and she has her priorities in line.
I can't imagine how hard it is for Amy to change all of her life habits so that her son doesn't have to live through the difficulties and dangers she had to. I'm sending her all the good vibes. Change is really hard. 💜
I am beyond proud of Amy and truly happy for her. On the other hand I'm done with Tammy and have zero sympathy left for her. I fear that this is her last season ever but no one care force her. She has done this to herself and now she is the only one who can fix it. Tammy has a support system most dream of but chooses to abuse them instead. She just infuriates me at this point.
I’ve always been an outdoorsy person and moved to Colorado basically to be able to hike more and have more things to do outside. I can’t fathom how people like Tammy say they don’t wanna go outside or walk. Being in nature and seeing how many miles my body can hike makes me happier than anything else in the world
Amy looks so different now she's lost weight, her face is different, her features were free they aren't squashed together. You can tell she's so much more comfortable in her body
LMAO at Michelle asking what that indentation on Tammy's shin/leg is! When someone is so morbidly obese, the fat tends to grow in places it normally wouldn't. This is really sad! Only she can help herself and other people can't help her unless she does her part. When I see my waist even start to get just a little thicker or my pants feel a little tighter that's plenty of motivation for me to cut down on eating and to workout harder. I'm glad that the sister, Amy is doing well. Tammy should follow her sister's example.
Yes i've got two count em two channels, check it out ;D .....

Thanks for the video hot stuff
This is actually my favorite and only way of watching some TLC show so it's okay with me if you think you take a long time for me it's constant content from you.!!
The mad Latina woman photo with the flip-flop (the most effective disciplinary parenting method) crack me up!
I'm a Latina mama and yes, the chancleta (flip-flop) works! -I also DO NOT CONDONE vilence
Loving your new hairstyle it looks great on you!!
@Nadine Pierre I'm another lesbian lol
I think it's sweet how much Amy says "I'm a Mom" / "I'm Gages Mom" you can tell that being a Mom was something she had ambitions of becoming and she's super happy and content with being a Mother
I'm so proud of her and all her progress especially how she handled stopping to be Tammy's caretaker and hiring a new one. taking care of herself and her family in the best way for all of them
i'm very happy for her. she successfully turned her life around.
And now she’s gonna have a second in July!!!! So happy for her!
This comment brought a tear to my eye, very sweet of you to point out ❤️
@@mirameyer9118 ❤❤
It sounds like Amy is trying to break generational burdens. Learned bad behaviors from childhood are the hardest to break. My heart ached to watch her, but I'm incredibly happy to see her progress and development as a woman, mother and a person in general. Now her sister Tammy, she ain't sh*t though.
My heart BROKE for Amy when she hit her rock bottom regarding her hoarding behaviour. She is obviously so ready to change, ready to take her life into her own hands and better herself and her life. I’m so proud of her. The journey to health and wellness isn’t easy, but it is so rewarding ❤️
I agree. She’s gone through enough with Tammy and her weight loss. She doesn’t need this dropped on top of it.
Same because you can tell she was sharing so much vulnerability and really taking her choices seriously. Tammy is so afraid of admitting she’s vulnerable and it’s holding her back
Yup, and to do so on national tv? That can’t be easy. It’s difficult enough to do it in private but her willingness to go there on tv is very matter of fact and definitely her taking ownership. I love it.
Same here! I understand the fight against the crawling nasties. I also understand how hard it can be to keep the house up when weight or physical health keeps you from doing everything that needs to be done. It’s incredibly depressing as well, which makes it even harder.
Same! Hoarding can be an addiction just like food can be. I’m so proud of her for taking control of her life. I know it wasn’t easy for her but she is making so much positive progress for her and her family.
It’s really cool that some day gage will be able to watch this footage and see how much his mom changed for him and how much she wanted him and loved him. Amy’s story is so beautiful honestly.
Might as well fit her for the coffin.
Aww that's so sweet. I didn't even think about that!
Yes!!!
So what would Gage think about Auntie Tammy (who probably won’t still be here unless she’s lost something we don’t know about)
Bless Amy. Everyone should have a mother like that but sadly many don't.
Living with a chronic pain disorder, I can say my life significantly improved when I stopped asking myself "will it hurt?" and started asking myself "can I do it anyways?". It's amazing what you can accomplish when you DECIDE that the pain won't kill you unless you let it. Tammy needs to decide the same and start walking!!
Right. That's part of why I got back into working out because I was suffering really bad from chronic pain and refused to just sit around and let it take over my life. I've been working out regularly again for the past 4 years and I have a ton of energy again and even though I do have pain flare-ups they're not nearly as bad. And best of all, I'm not sitting around victimizing myself feeling sorry about my situation, I'm actively changing it. Back in school after leaving my career of ten years and an abusive relationship with the father of my two kids who I had known for over 20 years...he ended up developing a covert addiction and began stealing from me, destroying my credit, getting physical, etc. I've been single for the past 5 years now, repaired my credit, bought a new car after he trashed my old one, and I'm currently getting my bachelor's degree in construction management after working in healthcare for the past 15 years. I'm too busy to worry about the pain, when he lived with me I was miserable working from home, dealing with verbal and psychological views, dealt with a lot of people close to me dying and had a miscarriage, there was a lot going on but nothing so much better in my life and I have taken control once again. I've also lost over 20 lbs and gained back 10 as muscle.
Do you get any good drugs?
It’s amazing how cancer patients who go into remission are what can I do today? Can I push myself that little bit more? They are saving their own lives. I’m happy that you follow the same guidance, it’s what makes the strong stronger
I think... I think this was something I needed hear.
Thank you stranger.
Youre so right. The less you do, the worse your pain gets. It’s a horrible cycle if you don’t push through
The fact that Tammy went to the rehab facility and exercised and walked everyday then when she got home and acted like it was too difficult proved that they should’ve just left her at the facility for a few more weeks.
I wouldn't have picked her up. 🤷🏿
Exactly that was the dumbest decision ever I wouldn’t have picked her up
She's free to leave, but if no one picks up, what's she gonna do? Walk out?
The best way her family could have proved that they love her and want her around a long time was to NOT pick her up.
Weeks? More like years.
Tammy has this defense mechanism where if she doesn't like something, she completely eliminates it from her life, no subtlety. She has no understanding that if walking hurts, you do a little at time. I'm baffled the nurse even has to attempt to encourage her. She has chosen death
Yeah, i know it sounds harsh but Amy needs to put her in a home or just give up on her and let her eat herself to death like she wants. Tammys doing nothing but dragging everyone else down and Amy has tried everything. If Tammy wants to die its time to just let her have at it.
Yup, she want to eat herself to death, let her
Tammy needs encouragement
She’s weak
@@LittleSparklingStars no she is selfish.
You can't want more for a person than they want for themselves. Tammy has no desire to lose weight. She just tells people what she thinks sounds good in that moment.
She tells them whatever she needs to in order to try to get people off her back.
@@haileyreign or back on her side
I just wanted to put her in the Nick Avocado category, that the fame tastes too sweet to lose weight. But it seems that she wants to lose the weight. Just wont put the freaking effort in. I just hate it whe she starts blaming others. 🤦🏻♀️
@@haileyreign yes. I think her family has finally started to see that.
@@Alex_in_Wonderland111 right
I started watching 1000 lb sisters in February 2021, I was around 220 lbs. I was scared straight and started going to the gym 3-5 days a week and as of now I am down to 152 lbs. the difference is night and day, when your body is healthy it definitely helps your mental health as well.
Congratulations !!
I can safely say that I don’t want to end up anything like Tammy. And I definitely got scared straight by her. I’ve definitely lost weight but not because of Tammy.
holy crap that’s absolutely amazing well done girl. That’s a huge achievement 🙂
Great job,I am on the same road
Congratulations, that's so amazing!! 🥰🥰
Seeing Amy and Tammy sitting together on the couch now and remembering how they looked in the same place when the show began makes me SO proud of Amy! She has come so far and she's genuinely working on self-improvement in many ways.
0
I wish TLC would hire you to say all this in Tammy's face hahahaha i feel guilty for laughing so much because I know the topic is serious but the way you deliver the jokes is HILARIOUS
YES 🔥🔥🔥
YES, PLZ, SHE NEEDS 2 HEAR THIS😭😅😅😅😅
I would pay good money to see TLC make Tammy watch one of your videos 😂😂
They won't because they don't care about any of these people.
@@LilySaintSin that is what is so wrong with these “shows”!
This shouldn’t be entertainment!!!
These are real people with real lives and the channels need to take responsibility for creating literally death for entertainment!
Watching shows like this has finally motivated me to start losing weight. Started around December 9th and I've lost almost 14lbs so far.
Congratulations!
Good job!!! 👏
@@whynot5305 its the most weight I've ever lost. Im determined to keep going and get down to at least 130-140lbs
Great job on the weight loss thus far!!
Great job! I am struggling with trying to lose weight also. I had health issues last year that kept me off my feet. Watching these videos are definitely motivating. I have lost 7 lbs since last month.
Amy's attitude is what most people should strive for. Getting out her comfort zone, taking care of her health, taking care of her family to the best of her abilities. I felt bad too, when she found a dead rodent. Good for her, taking responsibility is the hallmark of maturity.
Yup you can not grow if you arent doing anything that scares you a little
WE. LOVE ❤ 😍 💖 YOU AMY!!
@@SshhhTrouble it doesn’t work for all situations unfortunately. Who would have tough that trying to socialize with social anxiety would have end up in disaster🫠.
@@dilaisy_loone2846 of course it does at the beginning. Thats why its easier to not do those things any more
When i started loosing weight, i was a bit less then Tammy was (525 pounds). Walking, no matter where, was pure and endless suffering. But as Michelle said, you need to push through the pain and i started with really small walks around the company building i work for. And slowly and steadily i increased the length of these walk. Now i can workout intense cardio and walk plus 25.000 steps without beeing in endless pain. But: I lost around 330 pounds to get there and worked hard for many years. Tammys body will just be more miserable IF she decides to change something.
300+ lbs is a lot! Congrats to you
What a massive achievement!!!
There wasn't enough congradulation here! Wonderful!! I am sure you had to beat way more than just pain while walking, and I don't know your struggles, but I know you had a lot and you conquered them all and it's really a huge accomplissement. I am so happy for you :D
👏 you seen Dr Proctor when you started that? (I mean the episode where he told Tammy to do exactly what you did.) Walking is my favorite exercise (and dancing to fav country/bluegrass songs) so like everyone else good job
That's honestly amazing, hats off to you!!
Tammy is the most disrespectful, petulant person I've ever seen in my life. That nurse was just trying to help her and the way Tammy spoke her made my blood boil.
"Its not easy opening up to people", Tammy said to the doctor.
Tammy meets random men on the internet and opens her home to them. . .that's that new math.
Exactly, she keeps going on about how hard it is to open up but then she tells literally everything to a guy she only knows online or has met like one or two times.
There's just so many "are you though" moments with Tammy 🙄
It's not easy for her unless she's sure she won't be rejected.
Random side note: Baby Gage is so cute! His play splashing in the pool is adorable.
gage is awesome, hope he grows up to be awesome like his mom.
agree
I was thinking the same thing!
I'm usually not one to gush over babies but he is actually one of the cutest ones I've seen! He looks a lot like Michael I think :)
Amy is really something, she clearly grown up without learn a lot of self care habits and she is doing her best to better herself so her kid can lead a different life. I know that means nothing coming from a stranger (who also not that good at take care of themselve) but I feel so proud for her, she's an inspiration and now I'm really motivated to go to the gym cause if Amy can be better, so can I.
i feel the same way!
I absolutely agree. My problems/ addictions are slightly different, but boy, Amy is a very inspiring woman. She’s helping me by living her journey and I’m glad that others are also gaining similar motivation from her -let’s all improve together! Props to Amy and her family and congratulations on your newest addition. As they say “you go girl!” 🙏
Right? And her growing has ACCELERATED without Tammy. I think she’s finally realizing her true potential and I love it!
My thoughts exactly
Amy had me tearing up. It is so hard to unpack and unlearn toxic behaviors we were brought up with. She's already done it once, and I have faith that she'll be able to do it again. She's a good mom and I'm so happy she's doing so well!
Tisa : You can't stay in there forever!
Tammy : Yes, I can.
Tisa : Fine, then go ahead and STAAAARVE.
I actually kind of like how this show shows the difficulty that comes from change. Amy having a an emotional moment over her hoarding is a healthy attitude. It’s overwhelming to see how bad things have gotten but getting your emotions out is part of the process of change. I have faith she’ll change.
Yes, the best thing is she is not denying anything. Very healthy on her part.
I'm really rooting for amy, the want to be better is so prominent. I really hope she'll overcome all of this and push through!
As someone that easily hoards stuff, I totally get her pain.
With Amy, she's not only looking after herself more physically, but mentally (focusing on her family and not Tammy) and now her environment. I'm quite excited for her
me too
Ive worked in nursing homes, it takes the patience of a Saint. Tissa is good as hell at what she does, much respect.
I’m so proud of Amy. She may not be perfect but she has the drive to do her very best for her son. As a mother, that speaks volumes and I’m rooting for her.
I totally understand how Amy feels, but she needs to remember that she took the initiative and called these people in to help her with her cleaning issues. *She took those difficult first steps to fix the problem,* because she wants to change, and that speaks volumes about her strength of character. This was rock-bottom for her, but from here on the only way is up, and with her track record, I think she'll nail this as well.
As for Tammy... girl needs to move. Back when I was over 200lbs (far too heavy for someone of my height,) I used to get repeated bouts of severe cellulitis in my right leg - I'm talking 'ending up in an ICU in hospital for a week on intravenous antibiotics' severe. Cellulitis is no joke as far as pain is concerned; my right leg would swell up to double its size and turn bright red to purple from the knee downwards (often tracking up to my groin in the first few days,) and you're supposed to keep the leg elevated as much as possible to stop excess fluid pooling in the infected tissue. When you first move that leg from an elevated position to a vertical upright one (i.e. for sitting, standing and walking,) the pain is UNBELIEVABLE - your leg literally feels like a giant blood sausage that's about to violently explode - but if you can grit your teeth through that initial pain, it gradually fades enough that you can shuffle around on that leg to take a bathroom break or just do some moving around or whatever. *I made myself do that every time,* because I learned very quickly that avoiding doing it just made it more of an emotional hurdle to try and do it, which slowed my recovery and meant I was more of a burden for on the nursing staff for a longer time. You HAVE to do the hard, painful stuff sometimes, and yeah, it sucks - but it's the only way to break through to recovering.
I admire Amy for taking responsibility and getting out of her comfort zone to improve her life. It’s very hard to admit that you are at fault. It translates to everything in our lives and I know plenty of super fit, successful people who still would never admit that they ever did anything wrong and reach out for help.
Seriously, she has come such a long way, comparing her to the “Chubby bunny” video she and Tammy did to now, there is such a difference physically and even mentally. I’m really proud of her
My mom was “good cop”. My dad was the one that usually handled discipline. If I copped an attitude, he would look away for a sec, then turn and look directly at me with eyebrows raised as if asking “you wanna play games? You think you’ll win?”
Those 3-5 seconds of silence was where you write your will in your head and think of a way to save your ass
Both of mine were the disciplinarians. I never stood a chance and I am a much better person because of it. People can't hold jobs or relationships because of their lack of self control as children and being told how to behave.
i used to ask my kids with the cocked eye "want to challenge me, you will lose!!"
@@JMelissaMc me and my sibligs used to call my mom sergent atman and my dad Mussolini...
That’s exactly how me and my bf are! He gives our son the same look!
I feel very happy for Amy's tears, but not because I want her to feel bad. She is experiencing emotions and feeling them through hard, without eating them up. That is a positive thing and achievement. I hope once she cleans up the house woth help, it'll stay clean amd tidy.
oh yeah, those are familiar tears. They are tears of: I have spent so much time denying this reality and the severity of the problem, but now I'm finally ready to face it in all it's painful aspect.
These are the break-through tears that Tammy desperately needs.
I used to be a personal trainer and I really felt it when Tammy said "I cut out all carbs." Girl, we all know you're lying.
And then Amy... I'm proud of her, too! She's really digging in to some tough stuff, but she's getting through it. She's had the best character arc out there!
Mirror Michelle is so damn funny 😂😭 I’m in tears, when Tammy said “f the pool” I cannot, Tammy please just walk 😩
Amy is a Good example of what body positivity should be. She wants to get healthy, but isnt changing her self like she could if she wanted aka plastic surgery even tho she could afford it.
She planned on getting surgery to remove her loose skin but was not approved for some reason.
@@somdutroy well that's skin not like a facelift or cosmetic
@@traphousemartyr9383 removing loose skin is kinda cosmetic as in removing them is not a necessity.
But I get what you are saying.
@@somdutroy At the size Amy started at, excess skin could still have a decent weight, which is causing more stress to her body. Also skin infections can occur between the folds.
@Bröther May I Have Some Lööps This is correct! It is common for welts, rashes, chaffing and even fungal/bacterial infections to form in the areas where the skin rubs, or holds sweat! It's certainly not just for cosmetic reasons by any means! Especially when it's due to extreme weight loss.
Tissa is a legit angel for even trying instead of just doing the minimum of her job and giving up.
She's great but I think with Tammy it's a lost cause. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
For real... Like think about the emotional effort that takes! I don't think many people (including myself) bring that to their place of work.
It’s sad that she quit I loved her on the show
@@gram1976 She is very upbeat and positive... Dealing with someone like Tammy would be stressful, depressing, and probably made her angry to some degree. She didn't deserve the negativity or the disrespect. I'm sure Tisa would be happier working with someone who actually appreciates her help.
I would be gone. She us a saint.
Good on you Amy for breaking the cycle. She has taken every single opportunity this show has given her and ran with it. She had the surgery first shot , saved for a house , she isn't spending her money on frivolous stuff and she admits her wrongs .
I also love watching Chris, Amanda and Misty
Tammy is just a lost cause . She is rude, abusive and lies constantly. She thinks she can manipulate and get away with it.
I hate feeling someone is beyond saving if they're breathing...but tammy .. I think she is lost cause. she absolutely refuses to even Try and it is even worse with her nasty attitude. I know she is suffering inside..but she is the only one who can do anything about it. she has a team of people standing right there wanting to help her with everything, which is something many who WANT to change could use, yet she sits there and lies and yells and acts ridiculous. we all have eyes..Its just too much. i wonder what she would do if Nobody was there..if she would get up and walk??I doubt it. I cant believe she threatened to call the cops on amy if Amy didnt get her junk food!!! that is a whole other level of AWFUL
@@izzyjones7108 she is absolutely suffering BUT she is so so lucky to have such an amazing and supportive set of siblings and in laws plus all the 10s of thousands of dollars worth of help from TLC so many people would kill for those appointments. Amy was paying for her nurse, the hotel, the electric wheelchair. She has no idea how much she has done for her . She doesn't want to do anything even mildly uncomfortable. I would LOVE to see her succeed but the abuse is something I cannot condone
@@izzyjones7108 so the few times the siblings have left her to her own devices she ends up on life support then goes to rehab loses about 60 lbs then comes home promises to change and does it all again. This isn't just the last few years its her whole adulthood
@@izzyjones7108 imagine if amy was arrested. She has a small baby relying on her. Disgusting hey to even threaten that. Those are the things I cant look over! You are so right with everything you said
I’m proud of Amy too! Tammy doesn’t want to walk, doesn’t want to eat healthy, doesn’t want to see a therapist, yet everyone is catering to her - why. This drives me crazy.
we stan Michelle being absolute eye candy while giving 10/10 opinions
I absolutely love the progress Amy is going through, she got her family together, her health together and now her home. She's making very good progress and I'm so proud of her
I agree. It sucks imo bc it seems a lil like TLC 's focus is more on Tammy for the drama of her uncooperative attitude. Meanwhile amy is like rocky balboa running up those steps, all "eye of the tiger" strong. I could be wrong tho, i don't really watch the show lol
First: Bring looks!
Second: If Tammy wants to be this way let her fend for herself. You can't want more for a person than they want for themselves
This is a horrible thing for me to say but if everyone left Tammy to her own devises she would either lose the weight and figure out how to take care of herself or she would die and though I don't want Tammy to die it's really hard to help someone that doesn't have the drive to help themselves. I really hope she ends up back in rehab for her sake.
typical addict, get help or be left to your own demise
It must be exhausting to be Tammy. Constantly whining, always a victim, always fighting with everyone. Ugh, what a horrible life she’s leading. And she’s got more resources than anyone else. Most would love to have the support she has. Selfish!
Amy’s progress is so inspiring. We all start watching this as a laugh but we can all collectively say we’re so proud of Amy!!!!
What Amy is doing (making changes and breaking cycles) is HARD, so hard most people can’t do it. She should be so proud❤️❤️
The good: Amy
The bad: Tammy
And the neutral: Chris
love the range of characters
The problem is Tammy is like a drug addict or an alcoholic. You can yell at them, beg them, threaten them, leave them, scream and say, “you’re going to die if you don’t change!” But you can’t get them to get clean unless they want to. They have to make the decision once and for all and they have to really WANT it. Because it’s a life long commitment. Sometimes, when you’re in that deep you have already accepted that death could happen at any moment, and you become ok with it. And I see that in Tammy. She’s a lost cause, in my opinion. She’s pretending in front of her family because she doesn’t want to just come out and say it. I’ve been there. I was positive I’d never live past 30 and I didn’t even want to. Luckily, I was able to pull myself out of that depression hole. But I recognize it in her. I feel so bad for her. When you don’t feel like you’re worth it, it’s really difficult to work that hard for something you don’t think you even deserve. I pray for her, but I don’t have much hope.
But did you blame, manipulate and bully others during this process? It's all well and good feeling sorry for yourself but when you feel so entitled to someone's help, like Tammy is, then I don't believe she's experiencing the thing you're describing. She wants to be treated like a child, to be given everything that she wants with no pushback, and that is the issue. Even in Season 1 she treated Amy with so much scorn that I was shocked Amy was still helping her. Tammy didn't feel an ounce of happiness for her sister when she was losing weight and instead took out her frustrations on her for her own actions. She's a nasty little gremlin.
@@peachesandcream8753 that all comes with it, I use to the same in regards to my mental health. Now I’ve been in therapy for a year and I’m getting better every session. I see the same in Tammy, she really has to want to do it, my girlfriend left me and that’s when I realize I need to help myself if I didn’t want to lose her for good.
Well she WAS in rehab, she's got a food addiction.
@@peachesandcream8753 I 100% agree with you. That was kind of my point. She doesn’t think anything is her own fault or problem. That’s why she’s never gonna get better cause she has to want to help herself and instead she’s blaming and bullying others.
Fr so obvious that Tammy wants to change but she can’t put in the work everybody’s trying but other people can only try so hard
I feel so bad for Amy. It's upsetting that their house has this as a baseline, but her awareness and desire to improve for her son is very admirable. Big respect for her to be willing to have professionals come help instead of denying any problems or the severity. We stan Amy 👏
Amy goes through rough times confronting her issues and draws strength from her desire to raise a healthy child with healthy habits. Wishing her lots of strength for the future. It’s also beautiful to see how Michael is supporting her.
I hope Tammy finds the strength and courage to follow Amy’s example.
I'm rooting for Amy. It's hard to be faced with these things, but I know she can do what she sets her mind to do. Tammy is just Tammy. She doesn't want to change and will bite off the head of anyone who tries to encourage her to change.
I'm so proud of Amy. She's trying so hard, even when she's slogging through the mud. She's a good woman. I hope her hard work pays off really soon
Me to but i feel bad for the kid living like this
But they are changing, Amy never learned to do this I think
i’ve definitely got a soft spot for her, her home looks a bit like my room when i’ve been too depressed to clean it
@@crunchy4879 True, but hopefully with her new energy and sufficient therapy she and her husband start to clean more
@@mommakimmins5554 aw i hope so! i’m sending her good vibes in the meantime
Good lord the PATIENCE of home help aids/ nurses 👏🏽 like DAMN, ya’ll are so much stronger than I ever would be. I’d end up losing my mind with people like Tammy
I don’t know if you know but she quit and she was the best part of the show
After your last video on the Slatton sisters I got curious and went on Tammy’s IG page. She’s had a tracheotomy recently and in the comments it was said that often times if you do not clean your machine routinely it can lead to a nasty infection and subsequently they will trach you. Which lead me to inquire about my grandmother’s oxygen machine. Come to find out she hadn’t been cleaning hers as she should, she wasn’t even aware that you had to since the company providing her machine never gave her an instruction manual or tutorial on maintenance routines. All this to say that had I not watched your video and made the small steps leading up to the discovery who’s to say what condition she could have landed herself in, so thank you!!! I love your content and I watch EVERY video. You keep me motivated!
My mother *definitely* went to that school of discipline!! 100% percent Spanish and she did not play. She passed in 2012 and I miss her every day. She was quite literally the best mom ever - strict but because she cared and completely and utterly devoted to our family. My brother and I especially were like her lodestars and she always thought of us first ahead of herself. My father feared my mother more than the IRS, he told me once 😁 rest in peace, Mom.
@@klayly lol its okay
How on earth is she still alive at this point?! It's honestly a miracle that her body is still persisting is ASTOUNDING.
On the plus side, YAY FOR AMY! :D
The human body is incredibly resistant. She has given up on herself but her body hasn’t 🥰
@@jessicaallen6731 It's like God is constantly giving her second chances but she just refuses to change. It's like at this point all He (and we) can do is just stare in annoyance and she continues to stuff her face. Sad really. :(
@@HlootooThunderhammerIKR? I’ve seen a girl from My 600 Lb Life who died this year, and she lost a considerable amount of weight. I don’t get how the heck Tammy survived being almost 800 pounds, especially with her narcissistic attitude towards her family. Some people don’t understand how lucky or blessed they are to be given a second chance, considering her attitude hasn’t improved since she finally lost weight.
At this point if Tammy was my family member I honestly would dust my hands and live my life. What I look like helping someone that doesn’t want help?
That’s why she’s so mean to Amy. Amy was the last one of her siblings left to help (cater) to her but now Amy has lost weight and made a family to take care of.
@@legslikewhoa Amy needs to stop going over there. Might sound harsh but once again she’s going over there just to be verbally abused ain’t no point🤷🏿♂️ idc if that is “family”
@@Siabeysment She should’ve been moved into that house that she and Michael had looked into.
Most her family has disowned her
@@Siabeysment i get narcissist vibes from tammy...taking advantage of family cuz it's family and you supposed to help " family" she is an energy vampire...draining and a BURDEN to other family members. Takes no responsibility for her poor nutritional intake then when she gets in dire straits, the family members that are (empaths who feel this emotional burden to help her)...i cut off family members like that. I feel NO ways.
The day is saved thanks to the Michelle gang^^
Can we appreciate michael here for a minute? He's a wonderful husband & I swear he is never one to say no. I see him always pulling so much weight (pun intended) & toting tammy around. His legs are solid lol.
I'm super proud of Amy! Of the handful of diffrent weightloss journeys I have followed onYT , it seems she is really the only one that takes it her health seriously and wants to make positive changes in her life.
Amy should feel bad about having cockroaches and mice in her house due to her neglect, BUT she should use that awful feeling as motivation to never let her house get like that again. And instead of using her son as an excuse, they should use their son as inspiration to make a better, safe, and clean home for him and themselves. So proud of Amy. I don't think she received the best upbringing but it seems like she's trying to change her life around, take care of herself, and provide the best life possible for her son.
Right! She could get the roach bombs that works for 5 hours to kill them and get traps and get and inspector to come and kill and inspect the house to see how the creatures are getting in. I live in an apartment and my neighbor has roaches. They left and the roaches came to my place looking for food. I clean constantly so they don’t have any food. I also kill them once I saw them. I bombed my house with the roach stuff so they won’t be here and feast. I haven’t seen one in 2 years. I had a mouse once but the sticky traps got them and haven’t seen one in 1 year (I live in an older building). I get your busy but tlc is paying them $$. There’s no excuse to have rodents living peacefully In your house. Get someone with expert experience to get rid of them, but I fell TLC like the condition of the house for viewership/clicks (on UA-cam/Facebook) so ppl will talk about it. Just like Tammy not loosing weight (once she loose weigh, what will they name the show). It helps/pays TLC and only them. Reality shows are scripted/ manipulated and edited behind the scenes by others to tell the story THEY want. You never know if she got inspected and if the producers brought bugs and mice to spice up the show/viewership, to make them look like unkept rednecks overweight idiots (not saying they are, but the that’s the picture they are painting). Look how they did honey Boo boo and Mama June. I feel like the sisters are okay with whatever they want to do/ dont care how they make them look just to get a pay check.
It's so crazy seeing such extreme dichotomy between Amy and Tammy. Seeing each of them really does motivate me though. Watching Amy be optimistic and eager for change, then putting in the effort is really inspiring. It makes me want to try more in all aspects of my life. Seeing Tammy make excuses for herself, lie, deflect and blame others reminds me to be mindful of myself and that I am not doing that. I see her behavior and don't want to be anywhere near that attitude, so I strive to hold myself accountable and be kind to myself when I do mess up.
This is so true though, at least also for me. Although im not as unhealthy as Tammy it’s still a good reminder of what that spiral of no self control can lead to. Seeing Tammy’s outright denial basically helps me not be in denial about how my health is affecting my pain also. It’s important for us to check ourselves mentally too so we don’t become as unmotivated and bitter as Tammy
I do find the dichotomy between Tammy and Amy (and Chris) to be an interesting look into the differences in how people cope. I find Chris and Amy to be very similar. The way Tammy talks to them, specifically Amy, still after all these years seems to kind of take them aback like, where did you learn to treat people that way? Getting glimpses of their mother, I can see they obviously did not have a supportive childhood at all (see: the way she reacted to Amy's progress and getting married). But they all, I think, had the same parents, and yet both Amy and Chris are respectful, mostly responsible and kind individuals. Of course siblings don't have the exact same environmental experiences, but often share the same domestic advantages and disadvantages, yet the outcome is often so different.
Yeah, Amy is like a relatable example, whereas Tammy is like a dreadful warning
Lol that roach came out while Amy was crying like “Hey girl you okay?”
I'm also proud of Amy! Shes taking the steps to improve her life and shes doing it in front of the whole world. That's not easy. Do it Amy!
That face Tisa made 🤣 I'm not even a mom, but I babysat my niece and nephew enough for them to fear it 🤣
I feel for Tisa. It has to be difficult to be a home nurse for a grown ass adult that throws toddler-like temper tantrums, while being 700 lbs. Especially since I'm sure it's Amy paying the bills for Tisa, and so her employer's expectations (help this 700 lb child not fall completely into immobility) are hard to meet.
Supposedly tisa quit working for her
@@msmitchell3837 cause as Michelle said , Tisa is not going to be disrespected. She would cuss Tammy out 🤣
I rewatched your old videos a few days ago. Those from like two or three years ago. You grew so much as a youtuber. The audio and camera quality got so much better. But also your scripting and editing is so much more refined. You started out strong and improved so much. Kudos to you.
Love the nurse, she’s great. I would have her any day looking after me. Love the way she’s reminds Tammy what needs to be done. You go girl.
I have to laugh every time during your intro. When you introduce the dogs, with a toot and a squeak, my JRT whips her head up when she hears the squeak. Even when she is sound asleep. Makes me laugh every time.
I am an Amy stan. I’m right now in a very cluttered room and struggling with my weight and trying to do everything to be better and Amy’s adventure of changing her bad habits impress me
You can do it!!!!!! We believe I’m you :)
You got this!
I feel for Amy. Hoarding comes from the same place binge eating does. Your mental health. It's about comfort and being scared to confront the things that cause you pain.
I believe in her and I hope somebody tells her that mess isn't a moral failing. Just like she lost weight, she can work on clutter and the reasons why it happened. Giving not just Gage but herself a functioning Home.
Imagine if something happened - like the snowstorms hitting the east coast recently - and no one was able to come over to help Tammy for a few days. What would she be able to do?
Well, she said she don’t need a babysitter so 🤷🏽♀️. She’s only happy when someone is being a glutton like her!
My mama had 8 of us and a 20 foot arm, she could nail you to the floor with one look, too😂
Thanks for the video Michelle, hope you're having a lovely week ♥️♥️♥️
Its so amazing. I feel like I’m watching Amy just wake up each time. Its beautiful, amazing and makes me so so so proud of her! As somebody who grew up in rural areas where hoarding and obesity were rampant, I just am so excited to see people like those around me wake up to their situation. LETS GO AMY!!!! also I think she is pregnant with a second child, so congratulations are in order as well!
I respect Amy. A few years ago, I’d probably thought I’d never say that but I really respect her and that’s a respect that she truly have earned every little bit of! I actually look up to Amy! Good job Amy!
How can you look up to animal abuser?
@@samara.morgan maybe elaborate? lol
I've watched a ton of those hoarder shows and usually they get emotional because they don't want to change. I am soooo proud of Amy! Her emotion was because she wants to change. Good for her!
I'm rooting for Amy so hard. She's doing so well, trying to tackle some really deep issues. Good for her!
I am proud of Amy for trying to make a better life for her child than she had.
It's great to see Amy doing so well. Especially her taking responsibility for the hoarding and trying to stop. My boyfriend's mom is a hoarder and it has caused him a lot of pain. I've still never even been to her house because he doesn't want me to see it. He has spent so many years of his life trying to help her, gotten her house all cleaned up multiple times, but she always slips right back in to it after a short while. I hope Amy will manage to stop so that Gage doesn't have to go through that.
If anyone looked at my UA-cam feed right now I'd be embarrassed how much Tammy content is on there but I can't look away
Me too😂
I’ll say it again- TISA IS A LITERAL ANGEL 😇 also I’m surprised Tammy doesn’t have HORRIBLE pressure sores considering how immobile she is (nursing student here)
There is a possibility she does have sores, but from having so much fat around her, she would not even know they were there. Very scary to think about
@@AshleySmith-wc9oe lord. She needs to go back to rehab for that reason alone! If she went necrotic or even putrid she would die
I'm not even a nurse.
Just an unfortunate victim of a disease since birth along with my mom , but my great grandmother was only bed-ridden (not even completely) for a couple months before she died and SHE developed AWFUL bed sores. I am SHOCKED. She can't NOT have any. Maybe they just aren't showing them?
I bet you tammy DOES have pressure sores.
Probably because of all of the fat protecting her from the pressure.
It's particularly sad that her family keeps up with Queen Tammy's lie that she can go to the restroom and bathe on her own. When we can look at her and see that it is physically impossible for her arms to reach herself to wipe front or back. So especially on a road trip where she wouldn't fit into the majority of bathroom stalls or fit on the toilet itself, she is for sure wearing a diaper. One that she does not change herself.
I wonder if it's not like written into her contract?? Like ok I'll do your show but my bathroom/diaper situation is not open for discussion.. could be. That's got to be so embarrassing, even for someone as lowbrow as Tammy.
I thought that when I saw her laboriously waddling over to the scale.
It took Tammy forever to roll herself into the car. I agree, there’s no way she can handle basic hygiene on her own
2:08
Out of topic, YES! babies can swim at least 6 months old. They cannot do strokes or breaths. If you teach them, they will learn how to survive, float, and swim to a ledge. I do recommend teaching infants how to float and survive. Not only will they not be "traumatized", it'll be in their instinct to not thrash around when they're old.
Can I just say, I'm really happy for Michelle cuz every time I watch a new video of hers I see her number of subscribers keeps growing and she really deserves that. There's so much toxic bullshit on UA-cam and social media in general and she deserves recognition for being a beacon of common sense amongst all the crap.
Very glad she's getting help for the hoarding before it gets really bad. Unfortunately that's MAYBE a 3-4 on the hoarding severity scale. It's a devastating illness that goes way beyond "pretty gross". People lose their children because of hoarding. She's very brave to call for help and bring some light to the illness before it got to such a serious level!
Amy’s segment made me emotional and just found similarities within her story and just being confronted with issues is hard and trying to change is so so hard but wow she’s doing great and honestly quite inspiring because being around people who are negative and don’t want to change makes it all that more difficult to implement positive changes.
Thank you for your commentary, Michelle! I couldn’t get through a full episode if I tried, but it helps to see how Amy and Chris are challenging themselves.
So proud of your growth. I've been a silent watcher for years. Thanks for the content Michelle.. Appreciate it ❤️
I'm a recovering binge eater. Your videos always remind me that self love is not the same as self indulgence. Thank you. I'm at 190-ish right now, 150 is my goal.
I’m going through a rough patch in my weight loss journey, I don’t feel motivated to workout twice a day like I had been, having more cheat days and just feeling lazy overall but I’ve already set my mind on a goal and I know I’ll get there no matter how long it takes. I’ve lost 55 pounds in total so I know I’m capable of doing it. These videos kinda help keep me on track lol I’m so scared of having Tammy’s mentality cuz at one point I was close 😂
Edit: These comments are so nice 🥺 thank you for the words of encouragement! And to those on a weight loss journey as well, we can do it! This cold weather is just beating my ass lol but I’ll be back on track I’m sure of it 🥰
Congrats on your loss! I'm going through a rough patch right now, myself, so you're not alone there. But I think we can get back on track and continue our goals! I'm also with you on these videos, lol. I definitely don't want to dive back into something like Tammy's mentality (I have definitely been there before so definitely don't want to backtrack into it).
That's amazing! Keep going, you got this 👍
Not gonna lie, I was the same. I lost 100lbs this year & had a bit of a wobble over Christmas 😬 - but today I got back on the horse, cos even half a workout is more than none.
Also to get motivated, try making a list of all the things you can do now, that you couldn't do before you lost the weight (i put things like walk upstairs without passing out, not being wedged in the bath tub etc 😆) I find it helps to be proud of yourself, pat yourself on the back & keep going💪
That is really amazing, you're doing incredibly well!!
hey its a journey!! change is hard, and progress is NOT LINEAR !!! we are human beings, not machines. we cant just go straight up lol its always gonna be a bumpy road, but you can do it!! its okay to change up your routines a bit, if you cant workout twice a day right now maybe focus on something else like just moving around or eating better. i started my health journey last year in june. i only wanted to lose 12 lbs, and i reached my goal. then it was time to start focusing on gaining muscle. however, i got surgery on both my feet early dec. this changed my plans and my routines… i couldnt walk for awhile and had to rely on my mom to bring me food. her eyes arent the best so she couldnt weight out everything on my scale like i usually do, and she always gives me more than i want. and i wasnt in my own room cause i couldnt do stairs and man it brought me down so much. my energy, my mood, my health. at the start of this year i did my smart scale and saw i gained back 3 lbs and 1% body fat percentage. didnt really care about the weight but the body fat percentage really bugged me! and i knew it was cause i had been eating snacks and i wasnt counting calories or weighing food… i was lost for like a month and it really sucked. but like a week ago i just got really motivated again and i started counting calories and even tho i still cant do a lot of walking i can do some in surgical boots so i am focusing on eating better and cutting out snacks more. and trying to add more protein which can be hard sometimes as a vegan! but yea i got kinda depressed cause i had to stop weight training, but i found that when i decided to focus on food i got motivated again and im doing stuff again and i feel very positive about it!!! so yea just wanted to share my own experience lol cause i got really sad i couldnt move around, i had gotten used to it lol but when i started focusing on food again ive had more energy, i am more determined, and i feel like im back on track again. (: so good luck to you, i know you can do it !!! its okay if you arent following your plan to the t every single day. go with the flow ! do whatever is best for you in the moment. you got this!!!!
Even if you skip a day of exercise, even if you cheat, just keep working towards getting back on track. Almost all of us go through these moments during our weightloss journey. You can do it!
I love Amy so much she seems down to earth and really cares about the family she's building 💖 im very proud
It's one thing to go through the weight journey, but to also take the initiative to change for the better on top of that is awesome. I hope her and her husband find a nice house to raise Gage
Your honesty is absolutely amazing; you just inspire me to be a better version of myself and do better in life. Thank you so much!!
Love these videos. The crease in my shin was when I got stretch marks on my arms. I had always been insecure about my large arms and had been gaining weight. Once I saw those stretch marks I said “NO MORE” and got a gym membership
Hope it's going great for you! We all have our "Wake up call" moment and I am happy you had yours. I also hope you are happy!
I just want a compilation of Baby Gabe being a baby. every time he's on camera, I just smile. 👶 ✨
Yes! Baby Gage and Amy are our wholesome beacons of serotonin that distract us from the sheer stress radiated from Tammy's constant nagging and bitterness .:))♡
Tammy at the Doctors: I’ve cut out carbs.”
Tammy in the car: “I had two slices of pizza, a burger, and a bacon cheese burger.”
Guess my nutrition plan has been wrong all these years.
Hello. My wife and i just recently discovered your channel and instantly hit subscribe. Love the way you do your vlogs and the actual honesty in the way you do it. We look forward to many many more from you. Have a great weekend.☺
I’m super proud of Amy. She has such a positive attitude and you can tell she is serious about improving her life.
I'm so glad that finally someone has the balls to say what needs to be said. That's why I love your videos and if people would relax and actually listen to what your saying they would see that at the end theres a very valid point. I think I speak for most people that are familiar with Tammy Slaton when I say she is the most immature unappreciative inconsiderate and selfish baby I've ever seen and one of these days she will finally realize what she had and what she took advantage of and sadly it will be to late. I hate to say it but I honestly believe there is no hope for Tammy and it sucks because even though its the farthest from the truth Amy will feel like she didn't do enough and that's the sad part.
I remember Amy's first video and it is night and day when it comes to her personality, she is so much happier now and she has her priorities in line.
We just acknowledge Michelle dancing in the robe with the flip flop. This deserves an award!
I can't imagine how hard it is for Amy to change all of her life habits so that her son doesn't have to live through the difficulties and dangers she had to. I'm sending her all the good vibes. Change is really hard. 💜
I love Amy's self awareness, want to improve and going for it, and her humor 😂
I am beyond proud of Amy and truly happy for her. On the other hand I'm done with Tammy and have zero sympathy left for her. I fear that this is her last season ever but no one care force her. She has done this to herself and now she is the only one who can fix it. Tammy has a support system most dream of but chooses to abuse them instead. She just infuriates me at this point.
I’ve always been an outdoorsy person and moved to Colorado basically to be able to hike more and have more things to do outside. I can’t fathom how people like Tammy say they don’t wanna go outside or walk. Being in nature and seeing how many miles my body can hike makes me happier than anything else in the world
Amy looks so different now she's lost weight, her face is different, her features were free they aren't squashed together. You can tell she's so much more comfortable in her body
LMAO at Michelle asking what that indentation on Tammy's shin/leg is! When someone is so morbidly obese, the fat tends to grow in places it normally wouldn't. This is really sad! Only she can help herself and other people can't help her unless she does her part. When I see my waist even start to get just a little thicker or my pants feel a little tighter that's plenty of motivation for me to cut down on eating and to workout harder. I'm glad that the sister, Amy is doing well. Tammy should follow her sister's example.
