As reported by People magazine. Tammy currently weighs 285 lbs right now. Tammy's weight loss journey has been documented on the show '1000-lb. Sisters.'

Tammy and her sister Amy encountered increased challenges in managing their weight after their grandmother, who played a role in their upbringing, passed away in 1999 while they were still young.
