Tammy Slaton from 1000-Lb. Sisters is proudly showing off her impressive weight loss as she hangs out with her friend Haley Michelle.

In a post on Instagram on April 24, 37-year-old Slaton posted a photo of herself and 30-year-old Michelle standing by a body of water, arms linked together.

Michelle captioned the original post, "Spiritual Sisters, our powerful connection means we don't have to explain anything to anyone. You are my best friend." The pair was dressed in all black, with Slaton's dress hanging off her shoulders to reveal a flowery tattoo.

Michelle made a comment about some of Slaton's followers and fans who have accused the self-proclaimed “Paranormal Princess” of using her friendship with Slaton to gain popularity.

One comment on the latest post questioned if their friendship would still exist if someone didn't want to post pictures with her. Another comment suggested that some people may be using her to become famous or just to get attention.

The comments section wasn't filled with hate, but there were some positive remarks as well.

"Why is everyone attacking this," read the top comment on the post. "It's easy to believe that this girl is Tammy's friend. If I lived nearby, I would want to be her friend too. She is genuine, kind, and hilarious."

Slaton and Michelle recently visited a local pool and shared their experience on Instagram. Michelle uploaded a photo of them both with their feet in the water, along with the caption: "Proud of you #tammyslatonweightloss."

Slaton, known for her role on TLC’s 1000-Lb. Sisters with her sister Amy, has shed over 400 pounds recently, mainly due to having gastric bypass surgery in September 2022.

The trip to the lake and pool seems to be a part of the vacation that Michelle teased earlier on Wednesday.

Michelle shared a picture of them at the grocery store getting supplies for their girls trip. She captioned the photo: "Getting some groceries before our girls trip."

Although it's unclear how Michelle and Slaton first met, Michelle has been regularly seen with Slaton since January. She often shares photos and videos of the two on social media.

Slaton mentioned that she decided to undergo gastric bypass surgery as a part of her weight loss journey. She shared with People in June 2023 that she worked on strengthening her lungs to the point where she no longer needed her tracheostomy tube for breathing. Recently, her doctor cleared her to only use her oxygen machine at night along with her BiPap machine. She also mentioned that she keeps a close eye on her oxygen levels throughout the day and has her machine on hand just in case.
