TLC's 1000-Lb Sisters focuses on siblings Amy and Tammy Slaton. And, as the title of the show suggests, the sisters have a combined weight that exceeds 1,000 pounds. But there's a lot viewers don't know about the show and its stars. Here's the untold truth about 1000-Lb Sisters. In 2011, Amy Slaton launched her own YouTube channel, posting lighthearted videos featuring herself and sister Tammy. It wasn't until 2014, however, that they skyrocketed to online fame by taking on the silly and dangerous "Chubby Bunny Challenge." In their video, the sisters crammed marshmallow after marshmallow into their mouths, cracking each other up as they did so. The video quickly went viral, racking up more than 1.8 million views. The video's unexpected success made the sisters YouTube sensations, and more videos followed, with some gaining big view totals. In April 2016, Amy Slaton had her most popular video yet, with "The Power of Makeup," in which she puts makeup on half her face and leaves the other half untouched. That video received an astounding 7.3 million views, proving the Slatons were no one-hit wonders on the video platform.
