Gemma Violet June 24, 2023 Share June 24, 2023 According to Reddit, Amy, Tammy, and family are filming in Pensacola. According to one of the three photos there, Amy is still smoking. It shows her with a cigarette in one hand and what looks like a vape pen in the other. 3 1 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama June 24, 2023 Share June 24, 2023 Where I live a lot of the local vape shops have been raided, they were selling not just tobacco substitutes, if you know what I mean. The extra flavorings are psychologically addictive, even if not tobacco products. I wonder if Amy and Tammy use vaping or tobacco as an appetite suppressant, especially vaping which is often different flavors with a sweet taste? 5 Link to comment

SunnyBeBe June 30, 2023 Share June 30, 2023 (edited) I’m wondering how long before Tammy qualifies for skin surgery. There should be a lot of it, though her arms look pretty good, considering. Edited June 30, 2023 by SunnyBeBe 1 Link to comment

My condolences to Caleb’s friends and family. Even though they were split this has to be rough on Tammy, 1. I believe she had genuine feelings for him- she looked so happy when they were together, 2. A cautionary tale, obesity can kill and he didn’t get another chance like she did. I’m glad she’s taken her chance to lose weight seriously and is making progress. 4 2 Link to comment

ForumLou July 3, 2023 Share July 3, 2023 I did see where it said 'estranged' husband. I wonder if that's because Tammy was doing so good and he wasn't. I'm glad she stuck to her guns and didn't let anything make her back slide to bad behaviors. Rip Caleb. 1 Link to comment

What is her entitlement to his assets, pensions, SSI, not to mention obligations for the debts owing by his estate? I'm a bit of a cynic and I was thinking about stuff like that when I saw the tik-tok video of Tammy, tears streaming down her face, as she said, "I loved that man." I'd like to think she was sincere, but knowing about past alleged scams by the sisters before they were on TV, I'm wondering if this was a way of proclaiming that it was a real loving true-blue marriage. I'm also wondering if Caleb's family is well off and if Tammy would make a claim on anything. Of course, the family may be dirt poor and Tammy's tears may have been real and I'm just talking out of my butt. 3 Link to comment

Gemma Violet July 19, 2023 Share July 19, 2023 I'm thinking maybe it's a fight between Tammy and Amanda, with Chris and Amy trying to break it up. Tammy and Amanda can both be pretty aggressive and now that Tammy's mobile, she may not have any hesitation about acting on her anger. And Amanda doesn't take any guff from anyone, so it's a perfect storm. 1 Link to comment
Snarkastikate July 20, 2023 Share July 20, 2023 Don't know about you, but I wouldn't be wanting to meet up with a pissed off Amanda in a dark alley....... 2 4 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama July 20, 2023 Share July 20, 2023 (edited) I bet they stopped filming because they want to show the family as dysfunctional, but non-violent. A brawl doesn't fit the storyline. Also, with the writer's strike, they might have run out of scripts. Edited July 22, 2023 by CrazyInAlabama 1 Link to comment
Snarkastikate July 21, 2023 Share July 21, 2023 There was always a side of lightheartedness to this show, along with the dysfunction. Amy & Michael were cute together, we watched them realize their dream of a family & a home of their own. Chris & Britney - solid good people. Tammy being Tammy. Amanda - large & in charge. So Amanda gets divorced. Then out of the blue (& immediately after the birth of their youngest) Amy wants a divorce. And boom after a quickie marriage, Tammy wants a divorce. The fame & money from the TV show came at a very high price, especially for those little kids. There was a rumor that Michael wanted his boys' on camera time to be limited but of course Amy did not agree. 2 Link to comment
RedDelicious July 22, 2023 Share July 22, 2023 My assumption when I read the headline above is that Tammy got in a fight with Amanda and went for her, and Amanda defended herself. Amanda suffers no fools but I couldn’t see her raising a hand to a sibling. 1 Link to comment

RIP Not that it’s any of our business but I could see there being two memorial services for Caleb, likely for Tammy/family and another for his family/childhood friends in Indiana. I feel for Tammy I do, she was so happy to marry him, and the entire “this could’ve been me” has to be in the forefront of her mind. That’s hard. Losing someone you love is always hard, but in this situation, the “survivor’s guilt” is a lot as well. 3 Link to comment
BAForever August 6, 2023 Share August 6, 2023 Don't judge me- I follow Tammy on IG. Once again, she has posted multiple selfies (same pose, expression, filters).

I can critique Tammy on a lot, but milking her social media presence for all its worth right now is not one of them. It will end eventually, and from what I have seen she HAS done an amazing job losing weight. If one person out there relates to her and makes a change then that’s a positive. Also, Tammy has lead such an insular life for so long, that her perspective is off. A typical adult her age usually has a full time job, social engagements with friends, family responsibilities, chores etc- she’s used to having 100% free time. To her she probably is doing a lot. 2 2 Link to comment

Point taken Scarlett45. Hope you are right and we see Tammy become "more typically" behaving as an adult. I watch all the 600 pound life poundticipants, and my faves are those who end with jobs and relationships and productive lives. 5 Link to comment
