Heather McMahan has always been a huge cruise girl. Maritime vacations were a constant when she was growing up. “One of my parents’ favorite memories was that once on a Disney cruise they couldn’t find me, and I was in the hot tub with all my friends that I met at the kids club,” she says. “When my dad walked up, I turned to the waiter and said, ‘Garçon, virgin piña coladas for me and all my friends.’ He was like, oh, this girl’s going to be fine.”

So, it should come as no surprise that the comedian — known for her Absolutely Not podcast and standup specials on Netflix and Hulu — eventually decided to launch her very own weeklong comedy tour on the high seas.

Tammy and Amanda's weight-loss journeys have been filled with challenges, but their bond as sisters remains strong. Amanda is not only a supportive sister, but a talented nail artist who enjoys making her sisters look glam. Despite their ups and downs, Tammy and Amanda have overcome obstacles and supported each other on their weight-loss journeys.

1000-lb Sisters stars Tammy Slaton and Amanda Halterman are more than just sisters - they're also friends who spend a lot of time together. The series premiered in 2020 and centers around the weight-loss journeys of 37-year-old Tammy and her 36-year-old sister, Amy Slaton. Several of the other Slaton siblings, including 43-year-old Amanda, have also lost a significant amount of weight over the years. Amanda didn't appear on the show until season 4 because she was going through a divorce.

Even when she wasn't on the show during the first few seasons, Amanda was always close to her siblings.

1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton is finally taking her health seriously, but if the past is any indication, her success may not last. She has worked hard to lose weight, and she's taking steps in the right direction, but life outside of rehab may become too much of a distraction. The reality star found success away from home and under supervision at the facility. However, Tammy having the freedom to do whatever she wants may prove to be too much of a problem.

She claims that this time is different though, and she's pushing herself farther than she ever has before. Now, Tammy is out walking, getting exercise, and attempting to stick to a consistent regimen. However, it may only be...
