1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton looks completely unrecognisable as she achieves her goal weight.
The TV star was bursting with pride alongside her sisters Amanda and Misty when she heard the news that she had lost more than 180lbs in weight.
She was checked into a food rehabilitation centre after struggling with her weight for years, and just last year was rushed to hospital after struggling with her breathing.
Tammy was given a tracheotomy, creating a hole in her throat to insert a breathing tube, and left using the tube for months.
Tammy’s sister Amy Slaton said: "Her body shut down."

The TLC star have now undergone a complete transformation after reaching her goal weight of 550lbs, the weight which is required for bariatric surgery.
She went down from 717lbs when she first started rehab, which was the most she'd ever weighed.
In a new clip from the show, Tammy said: "I need to get to 550lbs for me to be approved for surgery. Until then, I hate getting on a scale. My worst fear is gaining weight. I don’t want to disappoint my family or myself."
When Tammy stepped onto the scales it revealed she weighed 534lbs which is 16 pounds under her goal.

While Misty confessed she is "so stoked" for her sister.
Tammy confessed: "When I got on the scale and saw it was at 534.7, I kinda stopped breathing for a second. From over 700, that’s a huge drop.
"I did that! I’m feeling thrilled, proud, excited — just all the emotions. I proved everybody wrong. Everybody that doubted me, I finally got mine! My told-you-so moment!"
