Unfortunately, Tammy discovered that she now weighs 665 lbs, meaning she gained an extra 21lbs since her last appointment. When asked by Dr. Eric Smith why she seems to be gaining weight, Tammy responded:

"I just wasn't doing what I needed to do. I mean, sometimes I try to eat healthier, and then other days I'm like, 'What the heck's the point?"

For Amy, who managed to lose enough weight to undergo surgery, her wake-up call happened when she and her husband Michael Halterman tried to get pregnant, and they discovered it was a severe health risk.

However, while Amy has been able to make evident progress and was qualified for a weight loss surgery last year, the same cannot be said of Tammy. Episode 7 of "1000-LB Sisters," which aired in February, saw Tammy open up about her sexuality.
