Amanda Halterman, one of the stars of “1,000-lb Sisters,” recently said goodbye to a cherished family member, a

moment that adds to the series of unfortunate events that have plagued the Slaton family. The show primarily

follows the weight loss journeys of 38-year-old Tammy Slaton and 37-year-old Amy Slaton, but it also features their

siblings, including Amanda, who is 33. The Slaton siblings are exceptionally close-knit and often spend a considerable amount of time together. Since the show premiered in 2020, the family has collectively lost a significant amount of weight; however, they have also faced several challenges, including the recent heartbreaking loss of a beloved family member.

The Slaton family has endured various struggles lately. Recently, the diagnosis of Tammy’s cousin, Katie Slaton, with stage four cancer shook the family deeply. Tammy took to Instagram to promote a GoFundMe for Katie, expressing her heartfelt distress: “You all, I’m so sorry to be asking a big favor like this, but if anyone can help, even if it’s a dollar, it would help my cousin out so much.” Tammy emphasized that Katie was an integral part of “1,000-lb Sisters” and that any contributions would be greatly appreciated.

Amid these challenges, there have been discussions about whether Tammy will leave Kentucky, where “1,000-lb Sisters” is filmed. Throughout Season 6, Tammy expressed her desire to leave Kentucky, potentially bringing significant changes to the show. If she were to relocate, it could lead to the end of the series, as the siblings are the driving force behind its success. While Tammy could theoretically live in a different state and return for filming, Amanda stated that the show’s future heavily relies on Tammy’s presence in Kentucky.

Recently, Amanda shared a poignant announcement on Instagram about the passing of her mother’s dog, Baby Girl. “My mom’s beloved Baby Girl passed away the other day,” Amanda wrote. “She has given my mom so much joy and companionship over the last 20 years.” Amanda asked her followers for prayers during this difficult time.

As Season 6 wrapped up, concerns began to arise regarding the future of “1,000-lb Sisters.” While the show has been acclaimed and popular, viewers are uncertain about its longevity, especially since the Slaton siblings have made considerable progress in their weight loss endeavors. Fans are left speculating whether the series has reached its conclusion, particularly in light of Tammy’s expressed wish to leave Kentucky.

In a recent Q&A session on Instagram, Amanda addressed fan questions about the potential for a Season 7. Due to a legal agreement, Amanda was unable to provide a definitive answer, leaving many fans feeling unsettled about the show’s prospects.

Amanda’s personal life has also unfolded dramatically on the show. After her divorce from Jason Halterman was finalized in 2022, Amanda quickly re-entered the dating scene and began a serious relationship with a man named RJ. However, Amanda’s happiness was short-lived as RJ abruptly ghosted her after a visit to his family, leaving her heartbroken. After moving back to Kentucky, Amanda was welcomed by her supportive family.

Despite these personal challenges, Amanda has become a significant and entertaining part of “1,000-lb Sisters.” Her fiery personality, humor, and tumultuous love life have resonated with viewers. If the series is renewed for another season, Amanda is expected to play a more substantial role, adding to the show’s dynamic and drama, even if she was not prominently featured in the initial seasons.
