  1. Tammy I was seriously thinking of seeing who owned that duplex and moving,next door so I could help you….I lost 20 pounds in 1 month changing my eating habits..you would probably lost 3 x thT much..but never fear you would not get by with the things you did to amy..take credit tammy..I M team tammy.
    .

    1. They probably get hundreds of inquiries from people wanting to be on the show. And just because you lost weight doesn’t mean you’d be allowed to contact her.

  2. If Tammy graduated with honors the state should hang it’s head in shame over its educational standards.
    Her mother probably got tired of catching flack so she had to say something to clean up the damage.

    As for Tamisaurus Rex.
    She’ll lose weight in rehab but eventually if they let her out…shell just work harder to gain it all back and then some.

    1. Tammy I am u and Amy’s biggest fans been watching since u two been on TLC. I know u got this I go though depression myself. And I went though alot in my life to. But u keep up the good work. U got this Tammy….

    2. Gosh do u feel proud your so mean? I guess your life is all flowers and cake right? Nothing has ever been ape sh__ right? You should hide your face with your mean attitude. Obviously you don’t know about mental health

  3. This was a very sweet moment not only from the mom but ALL of her family .
    Please have a season 4 .
    Love this show and family ❤️

  4. Tammy and Amy’s mother spouting off that little speech made me sick. She is obviously a great actress because she certainly doesn’t care for her children. It was just a last ditch effort to make people not hate her as much but she didn’t fool me or a lot of other fans.

    1. No one knows these girls mother let alone what her life has been like. We should not judges others by other peoples words especially there children who tend not to take credit for their own mistakes. Tammy is a very angry person who takes no blame for her position. Amy seems to be maturing yet once she got her baby she to was falling back into poor habits.

  5. I am so happy for Tammy and her family. It seems she has started to take her health seriously, since she was the one to ask for rehab this time. Everyone should continue to encourage and help her to succeed this time. Never give up hope and giving help as long as she keeps trying. None of us are perfect in doing everything in our own lives.

  6. Please tell me do it for yourself not for anybody else I think your mother was there when you were a child you should be proud of your mother and be thankful for her and all she’s done so step up to the plate big girl put the big girl panties on and do the right thing

  7. I have watched the 1000-Lb Sisters since the end of the 1st season. I give credit to all of those people, it is not easy to lose weight. It takes a lot of will power, you may try and have all intensions of following through but sometimes your best efforts is not enough. People lose 15-20 lbs and say look I lost the weight but for those of us who needs to lose 80 or more pounds its not so easy, we really try but sometimes we fail. It is not that we don’t want to do it we just are not successful. I wish Tammy luck don’t give up.

  8. Tammy will go from one addiction to another. That’s how it works. Which one will kill her first? Food or Alcohol?
    Its hard to quit. Been there done that. With Tammys weight she’s a ticking time bomb.

  9. I got real emotional especially when tammy was asking for help. I feel so bad for her. I totally understand her going all out and vaping ect…she was screaming for help. She probably wanted to die. So for everybody who puts her down and is so mean, put yourself in her life. I pray she goes 100% and is successful go tammy!!!! Show us

  10. I’ve always thought they were giving the mom a bad edit and she was not as bad as the picture her girls painted of her, Tammy and Amy had to blame someone besides themselves for indulging in there overeating Not once have they ever thank there mom for working her butt off to cloth, put them thru school, put all that food they ate on the table and a roof that she put over there heads, The woman had to work to keep the bills paid and they should be grateful instead of complaining, As far as ones who complain their mom wouldn’t go with Amy dress shopping or walk her down the isle have you not noticed she’s in a wheel chair and she figured someone who could walk would be an easier option. I know she loves her kids I’ve heard her say it and I’ve heard her tell Amy once she was proud of her for losing the weight. If she was bad as they say she was why would they have a relationship with her or have her on the show.
