The hit reality series 1000-lb Sisters is back for its highly anticipated fifth season set to premiere on TLC Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 8/7c.

Those who have been following Amy and Tammy Slaton on social media already know that there is a lot to unpack during the new season of 1000-lb Sisters.

Since just the end of season four, a lot has happened, including the death of Tammy’s husband who she married in 2022, Amy’s divorce from husband Michael, and of course, Tammy’s long awaited weight loss journey.

Those who have been following Tammy on Instagram specifically know that she has lost a large sum of weight since the end of season four. This topic will probably be the focal point of the new season.

What is 1000-lb Sisters about?

The official series description of 1000-lb Sisters is as follows:

The Slaton sisters, tipping the scales at over 1,000 pounds combined, have always depended on each other for support. Now in their 30s, Amy wants to have children, but cannot due to her weight, while her elder sister Tammy is nearly bedridden.

The two are on their journey to lose weight and things sometimes are harder than they can imagine. There are times when they feel lost and times when they feel stronger than ever, but along with all this drama, there is a pinch of fun and excitement that the sisters bring with them because of their personalities.
