The original video posted was set to the song "Rise Up" by Andra Day and showcased how much weight the TLC star and her fellow "Weightloss Warriors" have shed.

At the end of the video, all the women joined hands and shared they had collectively lost 2,078 lbs.

The Kentucky native dueted the original video on TikTok lip syncing to the music and writing, "Truly absolutely amazing ladies and I'm happy to call y'all my friends."

"I'm so proud of each and everyone of y'all not only are you beautiful on the inside but your gorgeous on the outside never forget," the reality star went on to write.

Fans were excited to celebrate the YouTuber's accomplishment and felt inspired to "keep going" on their weightless journeys after watching the video.

"All you gorgeous women taking back your health are so inspirational!" "I'm on that journey myself & Tammy, you keep me going girl! All my love and support," one person commented.

"Congratulations keep RISING," another fan wrote alongside the confetti emoji.

In 2022, after dealing with major health complications including being placed on a ventilator and having to be put into a medically induced coma, Slaton began to make serious changes.

Soon after her hospital stay, Slaton went to a weight loss rehab facility and lost 115 pounds in only 30 days. By July 2022, she underwent bariatric surgery.

Back in April, the influencer gave fans a glimpse of her weight loss progress via Instagram showcasing different angles of her face as she had lost 400 lbs.

Fans have followed Tammy and her sister Amy Slaton-Halterman's weight loss battle since 1,000-Lb. Sisters premiered in January 2020 on TLC.
