The Slaton sisters are back with fresh milestones-and fresh fallout. TLC’s 1000-Lb. Sisters returns for its eighth season on January 6, tracking Amy’s spooky nuptials and Tammy’s first steps into the workforce after shedding 500 lbs.
Sisters on Separate Tracks
Season 8 finds Amy and Tammy “living parallel lives,” each pushing major relationship steps forward while barely speaking. Amy, now planning her Halloween ceremony at Kentucky’s haunted Talbott Tavern, jokes that real ghosts will serve as bridesmaids.

> “Let’s just say our bridesmaids are going to be ghosts-real-life ghosts, not costumes.”
