‘1000-Lb. Sisters’ Star Amy and Tammy Slaton Share Their Weight-Loss Journey on Social Media
Viral internet sensations. 1000-Lb. Sisters stars Amy Halterman (née Slaton) and Tammy Slaton got their big break when their series debuted on TLC in January 2020, but the sisters already had a large following on social media after one of their YouTube videos went viral.
A November 2014 video of the siblings doing the “Chubby Bunny” challenge racked in more than two million views and launched Amy and Tammy to micro-influencer level social media stars. The challenge consisted of the Kentucky natives filling their mouths with as many marshmallows as they could each fit and saying the phrase “chubby bunny.” Ultimately, Tammy was victorious with a whopping 29 marshmallows to Amy’s 21.
Now with exponentially more subscribers, the sisters began doing makeup tutorials and beauty hauls and ultimately landed their own reality TV series.
In November 2022, 1000-Lb. Sisters took home an American Reality Television Award for Guilty Pleasure Show.
