1000-lb Sisters season 7 just premiered and there are already signs that Amy Slaton and Tammy Slaton are going to have to share the spotlight more than usual this season. The show centers around the weight-loss journeys of 37-year-old Amy and 38-year-old Tammy, but several of their siblings also appear alongside them. The Slatons are a close-knit bunch. They spend all of their time together, which means they butt heads a lot. With a new season upon us, the Slaton siblings are up to their usual drama as they continue to pursue their weight-loss goals.
The premiere of 1000-lb Sisters season 7 came as a big surprise because season 6 finished airing on TLC recently. The new season found the Slatons all back in Kentucky, but many of their lives had changed a great deal since the last time the family was on television. Amy and Tammy both have new relationships, and they have to find a balance as they continue to pursue their weight-loss goals. Judging by the first episode, this season will feature more of the other Slatons, and I don’t think Amy and Tammy will like sharing the spotlight.
Amy Has A New Man
“I Met A Man”
1000-lb Sisters season 7 opens with Amy talking about her new boyfriend, Bryan Scott Lovvorn. According to Amy, she and Bryan met at a concert. They were both in the mosh pit and got to talking. They ended up leaving to grab a taco together, and they’ve been together ever since. Though Amy seems happy with Bryan, her family is worried that she’s moving too quickly. Amy has been known to get too serious with new boyfriends too quickly, which has always blown up in her face.
During the premiere episode of 1000-lb Sisters season 7, Amy expresses interest in having a baby with Bryan. “He was talking about me getting my tubes untied,” Amy says to her shocked sister, Amanda Halterman, adding, “To have another baby.” Amanda responds by recommending they take a cold shower. Amanda argues that Amy barely knows Bryan. Amyhas her two young sons to think about, and I hope she thinks long and hard about having another baby with a man she barely knows.
Tammy Is Desperate For Skin Removal Surgery
She’s Also Been Keeping A Secret From Her Family
1000-lb Sisters season 7 finds Tammy desperate for skin removal surgery. Since making her television debut in 2020, Tammy has lost 500 pounds. Though it’s great that Tammy lost so much weight so quickly, it has also left her with an unsightly amount of loose excess skin. The skin makes it hard for Tammy to walk and can lead to dangerous infections. During the first episode of the new season, Tammy’s doctors refuse to operate on her extra skin until she quits vaping nicotine.
“There’s something I haven’t told my family.”
During the first episode of 1000-lb Sisters season 7, it was revealed that Tammy is secretly dating a woman, and she hasn’t told her family about her new relationship. Near the end of the episode, Tammy sneaks into a minivanand takes off. “There’s something I haven’t told my family,” says Tammy. “Cause my family gonna have something to say about it.” She goes on to explain that she’s been dating a woman for a couple of months. The episode ended before Tammy’s new girlfriend appeared, but I hope we get to meet her during the next episode.
Amanda Is Living With Amy
She’s Got A New Boyfriend Too
While the show focuses on Amy and Tammy, several of their other siblings are also involved. The new season finds 1000-lb Sisters‘ Amanda Halterman living with her sister Amy. At the end of last season, Amanda announced that she was leaving Kentucky and moving to Florida to be with her new boyfriend, RJ. The relationship ended when RJ unceremoniously dumped Amanda by ghosting her. Amanda moved back to Kentucky, and moved in with Amy and her two young sons, Gage and Glenn Halterman.
While several of the Slaton siblings want skin removal surgery, Chris isthe only one who has been able to lose enough weight to qualify for the procedure.
Like Amy, Amanda has a new man too. She’s been dating her boyfriend, Leonard Moore, for a few months. After seeing the premiere episode of 1000-lb Sisters season 7, it’s unclear if he will appear in the new season. Amanda is also focused on continuing to pursue her weight-loss goals. Last season, knee surgery sidelined Amanda’s weight-loss progress, but she hopes to get back on track this season. I hope Amanda won’t be living with Amy for long, because the two sisters have been known to have some knock-down drag-out fights.
Chris Is Recovering From Surgery
He’s Considering A Second Procedure
Chris weighed over 450 pounds when 1000-lb Sisters premiered in 2020. Inspired by his sisters, Amy and Tammy Slaton, Chris had bariatric surgery in 2022, and lost over 150 pounds. While several of the Slaton siblings want skin removal surgery, Chris isthe only one who has been able to lose enough weight to qualify for the procedure. During 1000-lb Sisters season 6, Chris received his skin removal surgery. He looked like a new man as he left the hospital after his procedure alongside his wife, 36-year-old Brittany Combs. Since then, his results have been even more incredible.
Time will tell if Chris decides to go under the knife again, or if he can live with the rest of his excess skin.
1000-lb Sisters season 7 finds Chris enjoying the results of his surgery, and considering another procedure. Chris started by having the excess skin around his stomach removed, but now he’s thinking about removing the extra skin around his chest. Though he wants the second procedure, his first skin removal surgery was painful. Time will tell if Chris decides to go under the knife again, or if he can live with the rest of his excess skin. Either way, it’s clear that Amy and Tammy are going to share the spotlight with their siblings, and I don’t think they’ll like it.
1000-lb Sisters season 7 airs Tuesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on TLC.
