1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton sparks concern after recent outing as fans root for her

Fans have expressed some concern for 1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton following recent photos of her, which have also prompted more supportive messages about her.

The reality TV star, 36 - who rose to fame alongside her sister Amy Slaton, 35, on the TLC show - has been supported by fans during her ongoing weight loss journey.

Tammy dropped 183lb (13.1 stone) after spending some time at a food rehabilitation facility and she has subsequently undergone weight loss surgery.

She was spotted on her way home from a fast food chain earlier this month on Easter Sunday (April 9), with her photographed walking towards her home in Kentucky.

The photos show Tammy - who was seen wearing a black hoodie and a black skirt - walking with just the aid of a walker, reportedly on her way from a car to her front door.

The photos - published by the Sun - have since been shared on Reddit, prompting reaction from fans this week. One wrote: "Glad to see this! Go [Tammy], you got this!"

"Good for her," commented another person. Whilst a third wrote in response to the photos: "I'm glad Tammy is making an effort to walk." Another said: "I'm really happy for her".

A fourth responded: "Wow! I gotta say I am amazed by her. I was a doubter for a long time!" Another wrote in the thread: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Some seemed to express concern over how she looked though, with one person writing: "It's great that she's out walking. She still looks like she's really struggling [though]".

Sharing their thoughts over the photos from earlier this month, another person speculated recently: "This must still be a struggle for her [because] her lungs are bad".

Another said that Tammy is "still quite heavy" and suggested that her knees may give her pain. They added: "The picture looks like she is walking on an incline. That alone would be a bit of a struggle. She's keeping at it though. Good for her."

"Sad to see someone as young as her in such bad shape, but at least she's finally making a difference," wrote another person in the discussion thread earlier this week.

One person said: "Sometimes I get so scared for her when I realize she is only 6 years older than me. Happy she is out walking, but it still blows my mind when I see her".
