I'm so proud of Tammy and all the other people on this show that make the effort to change themselves. This show is really heartwarming when the people actually succeed. I'm really cheering for them.
Dad is a selfish jerk! "He promised to stay up until my surgery" and flipping bailed, on her AND their son. Let his girlfriend have him! I think it's actually better that he left so he couldn't emotionally de-rail her. He also can't take any of the credit for her victories. They all belong to HER with the support of her sweet son. They have a whole new life ahead of them. 🌷🌹🌷
Yep...a real winner. They are both better off without him. I wonder now if he ever hit him. Zack would benefit greatly from therapy himself. I think I will find this episode and watch it through.
Tamy is really fortunate that James left her - and now she is free. Enablers make people weak. Every pound she loses will give her strength and self-esteem. I am so happy for her!
The weight ruined her marriage and having a severe impact on her child. Why do all these people say that food is their only joy. They have children, that should be the top priority, not their next meal 😮
@@GreenTT-l1l of course I know about addiction but if my life - and that of my husband and son - was made miserable because of it, it would make it worthwhile fighting. And she was easily able to. She lost a lot of weight at every weigh in.
Yes. I too am now inspired to gain 600lbs and instead of eating less and going to the gym. I’m gonna to get so big that I need an operation instead. #inspo
I always say, it takes a strong person to ask for help and you asked. You have done great. You are also a very strong woman. Keep up the good fight. I don't know you but except for what's on this show but, I am very proud of you. You go girl.
i love that at the end her smile was practically glowing out of her, im so so happy and proud of tamy the raw strength she has found not just for herself but for her son is exemplory
Proud of Tammy, she is a winner! 🎉 As for her husband's, new love, if they do it with you honey, they will do it to you. What goes around comes around! 😂 I love Dr. Now. ❤
@@ms.lisamurphy269 it is? Thank you for pointing that out. I wondered why it was getting so frustrating to listen to. The pronunciation really bothered me when it said anything with "ssss". It felt uncomfy!
I am in the same boat rt now (needing to lose weight to have surgery) Thankfully I am not nearly as heavy as she was, but I was so happy to see the difference in her when she lost the 100 pounds, she was moving so much better. I can't help but be happy for her! It saddens me to see how her husband treated her. WOW 179 pounds on her own, THAT is AMAZING..& in 6 months. Sometimes you just need the goal and motivation.
Really makes you think if the bf was a feeder, or is one of those that can’t stand to see someone gain confidence, independence, and autonomy. And just wants someone to be unquestioning, and obedient.
So sad. And so difficult to overcome. Looking at Tammie and other dr. Now's patients one of the things that strikes me: it seems that they hardly chew the food. I wonder why.
This blows my mind. What these people have done to themselves. She wasn’t so different. Many kids go through bad traumas . But why ? Why did she do this to herself?
Different people go through different self-destructive behaviors. Some people cut themselves, some people starve themselves, some people smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, other people turn to food like she did. When people are hurt and traumatized, they do different things to self-destruct..
I hear what you say, but his horrible reaction to her first putting on weight, telling her she was fat, ugly and useless pretty much, was incredibly sabotaging. He should have left her a long time ago and allowed her to move on, she may have got on much better alone (it couldn’t be worse)
Caring for a sick partner or if they have been in an accident is 1 thing but these mega obese ppl are master manipulators, need constant carers & wont listen so it must be difficult.
It was awful of James to leave when he did. They are clearly better off without him, but to leave when she needed help recovering was so wrong. He could have stuck it out just a few more weeks after cheating on her and leaving her when she needed him most. Rotten. I guess now his overwhelming anger will be the other woman’s problem.
How can ppl afford to eat so much? It is amazing...a lot of times many of them are eating out constantly. I guess I am too cheap to spend all my money on food. LOL
In "Where are they Now" , James came back to Tamy and demanded that she return to Kentucky with him. She left Houston despite the fact that she was approved for skin surgery. James wouldn't let her go back to Dr Now even though her stomach was literally dragging on the floor and she was in constant pain. SMH
Why do they call it a journey...sounds arduous, just call it a process, make it more scientific and not like it should be fun. A journey is the wrong word, like a fantasy. It is a difficult process and those who succeed deserve recognition and praise.
I know smoking cigarettes is a bad habit too. But I am pretty sure that heavy smokers live much longer than severe obese people. Most smokers reach 60yo at least
I am sick to death of hearing how trauma has caused them to gorge on food. We have all had some sort of trauma, we don’t eat ourselves to death. Get a grip.
i forget the guys name now, but there was a man that was 1k lbs ffs. then when he went to hospital he whined and sniveled and cried because they were not gentle enough dealing with him. if he and many many others had ever put the freaking fork down they wouldnt be in this mess to begin with, yet they blame everyone and everything else. pathetic
Ig people cope differently, some it's drugs ,some its food, some its not eating ,some it's alcohol others is self-harm it's low-key sad, and I wish they got help sooner
Food helps her forget the problems of her life ??? Food is the only problem in her life. Abd the problems the food causes She's worried her husband thinks she fat and ugly but keeps shoveling the massive amounts of food in her mouth ??? How does that make any sense ???
At the end, Tammy is the winner, and James is the loser. Perhaps he is a weak man and intimidated by someone like Tammy who can set a goal and actually exceed it through sheer willpower.
I'm so proud of Tammy and all the other people on this show that make the effort to change themselves.
This show is really heartwarming when the people actually succeed.
I'm really cheering for them.
I love it when her son told her she can do it. He loves his mama and dad isn’t too kind to either 😮
Dad is a selfish jerk! "He promised to stay up until my surgery" and flipping bailed, on her AND their son. Let his girlfriend have him! I think it's actually better that he left so he couldn't emotionally de-rail her. He also can't take any of the credit for her victories. They all belong to HER with the support of her sweet son.

"Zachary, dinner is ready."
"Ok."
"HEY!! DROP THE ATTITUDE!! I MEAN IT!! I'LL KNOCK YA ASS OUT!!"
Great father right here.
Yep...a real winner. They are both better off without him. I wonder now if he ever hit him. Zack would benefit greatly from therapy himself. I think I will find this episode and watch it through.

Tammy you are such an amazing and strong woman!!!!! Wow!!!! You should be soooooo proud of yourself!!!
She did the work. Therapy is the 🔑!
Congratulations and keep up the fantastic work! You are a strong woman!
This was a really good episode. So happy for this lady's success.
Ooh, I’ve used the phrase ‘my stomach hit the floor’ when I’ve had a fright. But never literally!!
Yes, that was an impressive belly, no doubt about it.
The weight ruined her marriage and having a severe impact on her child. Why do all these people say that food is their only joy. They have children, that should be the top priority, not their next meal 😮
Why? Addiction.
@@GreenTT-l1l Maybe people should fight addiction?
@@glorysmummy well yes. Clearly 🙄 do you have any real life experience with debilitating addictions? Doesn’t seem so. You’re fortunate.
@@GreenTT-l1l of course I know about addiction but if my life - and that of my husband and son - was made miserable because of it, it would make it worthwhile fighting. And she was easily able to. She lost a lot of weight at every weigh in.
@@GreenTT-l1l it wasn't debilitating though because she easily went on a diet and lost a lot of weight.
I'm so proud of Tamy. She deserves good things in her life!
Oh, I just like her so much!
What an inspiration in several ways.
Stay Strong, Girlie!
♥️

@@juicymullet585 You know she is going to read this and see your mean face. Even your own mama wants to slap you rn.
I liked her when I first saw this on television. I have just come across her again and I remember her . Bless her heart ❤
Her husband is no prize. 😅
Yeh can see he thinks very highly of himself 😅
I think I've seen him on a box of Lucky Charms 😂🍀
He's a pig.
@@GavinsMarineMom get rid of that box of lucky charms💀😂

A man is not a plan.
i love that at the end her smile was practically glowing out of her, im so so happy and proud of tamy the raw strength she has found not just for herself but for her son is exemplory
It's so sad to see people destroying themselves
She in my opinion had the hardest visitations with doctor now but she knocked it out of the ballpark I'm so proud of this lady❤
Praying for you Tammy God bless you ❤️🌹🙏
Proud of Tammy, she is a winner! 🎉
As for her husband's, new love, if they do it with you honey, they will do it to you. What goes around comes around! 😂
I love Dr. Now. ❤
The way these producers and cameramen shoot them from the most diabolical angles to make them look as awful and grotesque as they can 😂
Lmao it really is kinda fucked up
That's called the TLC Shadey shot
it's why most ppl watch, what makes u turn on to see tubby ppl if not the grotesque? be honest!
Is there a good angle?!
I don't appreciate all the crotch shots, even blurred out.
A great inspiration to others with weight problems. Lovely strong lady. Keep going.
The way the narrator just repeats what the people on the show says like she's telling us something is so irritating!!
... groan, I agree. And it's AI, somebody actually picked that vocal fry squeaky voice -
@@ms.lisamurphy269 it is? Thank you for pointing that out. I wondered why it was getting so frustrating to listen to. The pronunciation really bothered me when it said anything with "ssss". It felt uncomfy!
its because of copyright
She's not nearly as good as Sean of Steel.
Tam, congratulations! You worked very hard and overcame every challenge that came your way. I am so happy for you!!!

By far, one of my favorite success stories!!
I’m so proud of you sweetheart keep up the great work. Sabrina
Great job Tammy! Keep up the great work.
I've never wanted a follow up more on my life. Wow! She actually meant it. I truly hope her life has kept improving.
Keep the good job Tammy! You are not alone! You have your son!
I am proud of her and her son.
Big respect to that lady !!
It’s shocking that she’s surprised her partner (or husband??) moved out. What a hellish life.
I think her new confidence scared the little roach so he scurried away from the light.
Tammy is indeed an inspiration!
Tammy you are amazing!
Really makes you think if the bf was a feeder, or is one of those that can’t stand to see someone gain confidence, independence, and autonomy.
And just wants someone to be unquestioning, and obedient.
You nailed it. He gives creepy porn addict vibes, he probably has some sort of gross fetish and wanted her to become immobile.
Absolutely this! He's a nasty little creep, she deserves so much better than him. He seems like the porn addict type.
I am proud of you, ma'am. Love yourself and keep going
So happy for her that she could do so much on her own!! Good luck Tammy!!! ❤
Sooooooo proud of her! Gooooo girl!
I can’t imagine the pain. Sad
Team Tamy whole frig!
I’m so happy for Tammy!😊
The thumbnails they put on these videos are insane.
What happened next ? Having that skin loss would have changed her life , would love to follow her story !
The separation and divorce will have gr8 impact on children
Why are your thumbnails always them saying I need more, bro they need more salads that's what they need.
That's the "Plot Twist"....🤗
What..
E She is a very very beautiful girl 😊❤
Good job Tammy
So sad. And so difficult to overcome. Looking at Tammie and other dr. Now's patients one of the things that strikes me: it seems that they hardly chew the food. I wonder why.
Why do they always eat SO DAMN FAST
B4 the grease congeals i think?
Truly, what difference does it make.
No overlays or distorted voices! YAY!
They sometimes have to
My first marriage was doomed. Only 2 years in before divorce, but I gained 60 pounds. I see. I have so much empathy.😢
I need a stomach surgery to my flappy arms and my stomach to please ..

@@jennifervaughn1541some also look for the help they need, more rare, but not self destructive.
@@jennifervaughn1541 👍👍👍
Theme for most of the obese persons. Sad let food win
It's easy in America there's a lot of bad food available.
10:48 he is sick of her, its got to be a depressing life

@@clareshaughnessy2745 she shouldn’t have to wait for him to leave her, its her choice
@@donnyreiss1180 oh, absolutely, it would have been much better if she had kicked his arse to the kerb. But failing that, he should have left long ago
James is abusive and Tammy has low self-esteem and thinks James is the best she can do.
Tammy, you did well, keep it up. You can do this.
Im so proud of her ❤
James is a horrible guy!
TAMY LYN?!....U! GO! GYRL!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wat a strong woman all the best momy 😊😊wow I'm so proud of you ♥️
Ppl dont realize that their skelital shap and size are the same as everyone elses.. it can only hold so much
You go girl!
james afraid she's gonna find his mistress.......when she can get around.
It was awful of James to leave when he did. They are clearly better off without him, but to leave when she needed help recovering was so wrong. He could have stuck it out just a few more weeks after cheating on her and leaving her when she needed him most. Rotten. I guess now his overwhelming anger will be the other woman’s problem.
This girls a trooper! Great job Tamy 😊 now im inspired to lose too
How can ppl afford to eat so much? It is amazing...a lot of times many of them are eating out constantly. I guess I am too cheap to spend all my money on food. LOL

What happened to his new “love”🤣
Well done ❤
That abdominal bulge looks like a gigantic hernia. That's not what it is, but, oh my, I've never seen anything like that.
She has a nice voice. I suspect she's ND. But she doesn't weigh 980 lbs. It just looks that way bc she's short
It's funny how they never binge eat vegetables 😂
James deserves a life. Also I would never stick around with someone like that. I find it very repulsive and gross.
Good job....❤
Wait...did she put butter on her son's fried chicken? Say it isn't so...😮
I love it!!! 😻💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

So hold up...Tammy's husband gets upset when she starts to stick to her diet? Why does he want to move out since she has lost 42lbs?
Food helps her forget the problems of her life ??? Food is the only problem in her life. Abd the problems the food causes She's worried her husband thinks she fat and ugly but keeps shoveling the massive amounts of food in her mouth ??? How does that make any sense ???
Food matters
OMG!!
How do you ever get a stomach like that?!?!?!
That's SO gross!
Do we know any more about her story?
Try Google.
@@glorysmummy I found out a little.
Finally..hope for the world 🌎
some food for the rest of us!
I feel sorry for the boy what a horrible place for him it's so unfair for him
At the end, Tammy is the winner, and James is the loser. Perhaps he is a weak man and intimidated by someone like Tammy who can set a goal and actually exceed it through sheer willpower.
I like this lady . ❤.
I dont see why if she can lose weight before surgery, why have it. Just keep eating the right things
Get rid of that feral partner. He's vile!
She looks like stuttering John in that clip she is being weighed
I use to day to My dog, you are what you eat 🎉😂
Its prob because they are afraid that is their last meal? For whatever reason👎
My goodness....cover yourself!!
It’s so funny how they ALWAYS end up nuddies at some point in the programme
I can’t wait til she reintroduces herself to her husband!
I really like her!
