Despite promising a weight loss update in a TikTok video in February, Slaton revealed in the season 4 premiere that she re-entered rehab after reaching 717 pounds. In a confessional, she shared that she does not feel good and cried as she stepped on the scale.
Though Slaton cannot discuss all aspects of her life due to her TLC contract, she recently appeared in photos shared by her sister on social media. These photos marked the first time Slaton was seen standing on her own since beginning her weight loss journey.
Slaton’s journey has been documented through several seasons of 1000-Lb. Sisters, and fans continue to root for her as she works towards a healthier lifestyle.
