Original subtitles

[Tammy] Previously on the 1000-lb Sisters...

[Amy] The nurse could've kept Tammy on the right track

and given me time with my family.

I need this to work

How do you feel about Amy farting all the time?

[Amy] And Tammy burping all the time.

And maybe a little bit of diarrhea.

- Ew. - [laughing]

What do y'all fart out? Which one farting all the time?

Her.

[Michael] I'm kinda worried because I have a weigh-in

at the doctor's that's coming up.

So I either make back the target weight

or there's a damn good possibility

that he's not going to let me have my surgery.

Uh, it's time to find a chair.

Aww.

Well, I don't want your heart hurt again.

You say you got this, but then...

I am a little worried. Tammy does not have the best track record

when it comes to finding guys that would actually help her with her weight loss journey.

[music playing]

[Amy] Quack quack.

Oh, ew.

[Amy] Today is the nurse's first day on the job.

Thank God, we finally picked a person.

Tammy wants a friend.

And I need somebody to help her get more independent.

So, that was the whole...

and she was just fun to kick it with.

- [knocking at door] - Come in.

Hello.

- [child] Hi. - Hello, son.

[Tisa] How y'all doing?

- [Amy] How are you? Good. - I'm good, how are you doing today, Amy?

[Tisa] I'm a home helper for 30 years.

I'm from Henderson, Kentucky

I'm a pretty easy going person.

I like to help people.

I'm just who I am.

What you see is what you get.

Amy and Tammy, you can tell they're sisters, they look like they're pretty close.

They're kinda entertaining.

So, what we gonna do today?

Okay, hey, you like to cook?

Just to the mailbox and back or something.

God damn it, Amy, no.

[baby cooing]

You don't want to?

Tammy.

Keeping Tammy mobile and up, doing stuff is important

because if she losses her mobility, she will be bed-bound.

After that is death.

[Tisa] Okay, you go ahead and pee.

[Amy] I need Tisa to keep Tammy on track

and get Tammy exercising

and she's there to help clean, help cook.

Help is the key word there, not do it for her.

So, I want to pull Tisa away to the side, to let her know the run down.

Oh, really?

Does she act like that?

Really?

[Tisa] Aww, well, we'll be... I'm gonna do my best with her.

She's just got to do some trusting.

[Tammy] Yeah.

[Tisa] My first impression of Tammy, you gotta kinda have to push her.

I think she just got to have somebody there with her to help her

and keep her going 'cause we all have our days.

It might be some day, she might say "Bitch, get out of here." [laughing]

That's cool. 'Cause I ain't going nowhere today.

[Tisa] So, what we're going to have to eat?

Do you use a cook book?

Are you one of those person's with a little bit of this and a little bit of that?

- So, you're not giving out any recipes, are you? - [Tammy laughing]

I wouldn't say I'm excited to have a stranger in my house,

going through my things.

But it might be nice to have someone to talk to and kick it with.

-[Tisa] You want a salad? No salad. -[Tammy] No. Hell no.

[Tisa] But you could steam that broccoli and cauliflower.

[Tisa speaking]

[Tammy] I'm not making [bleep] hamburger patties.

Tammy and Tisa are having a discussion about the meal prep.

But Tammy of course has to give her an attitude.

The whole idea of getting a home health nurse

was to make life easier for Tammy and me.

But if Tammy and Tisa can't get along, there ain't no way for this to work.

[Tisa] Hey, let's get, let's get chopping.

I'mma put the meat in here and you get that fire going.

Well, you gonna help me, aren't you?

Uh, you gonna starve me to death.

[Tisa speaking]

[Tisa] Where'd you learn how to cook?

Uh, girl.

[Tammy] Tisa and I seem like a pretty good team.

Having Tisa around is a lot better than having Amy around.

She got this little stove going, I love it.

[Amy speaking]

Okay, everybody, this is good, nice and healthy, high in protein.

[Amy speaking]

This is good.

[Tisa] Mm. Mm!

[music playing]

[Amy speaking]

[Tammy speaking]

and we can go back to just having fun and being sisters.

Go get in the van, come on.

Move, a little. Ooh!

[music playing]

[dog barking]

[Tammy] Today, I'm channeling myself off the oxygen,

Somedays I need my oxygen little more than the others, but...

- [dog barking] - You remember her?

She hears the other dogs.

Okay, so what do you want to do with her today?

- The works. - All right, hey, baby.

We've had her for 13 years.

Michael found her, he got her off somebody.

[Amy speaking]

And they're both my bitch.

All right, sweetheart.

Sometimes, these dogs, they'll get like a fishy smell or something like that

or they're scooting their butt or they'll be biting above their tail.

That's their anal glands filling up

and they need to express every now and then.

That's a serious question. [laughing]

[dog barking]

[Amy] What've you been up to?

[Amy speaking]

Of course.

We've always had rocky times with our mom

and she hasn't always believed in Tammy and me losing weight.

We're doing the bariatric surgery.

I don't think you'll make it. I think you'll chicken out.

[Amy speaking]

I'm kinda touched Tammy brought up Mother's Day

because we never really did much as a family growing up for Mother's Day.

But this is my first Mother's Day as a mom.

Man, we do that all the time though.

- [Amy] Yeah. - We could do that anytime.

Yeah.

[laughing]

[Tammy] She likes drinking tea a lot

and we never been to like a high tea brew.

What high tea, you have to, you have to drink it high?

[laughing]

[Amy speaking]

[laughing]

[bleep]

No, it doesn't.

No.

[Amy speaking]

[Amy speaking]

[woman] She did great. Thanks for bringing her in.

- [Amy] Okay, thank you. - Thank you guys.

- Thank you guys. - [Amy] Thank you.

[woman] Thank you.

[music playing]

[Tammy] Ew, I just like... little update,

been living life.

No.

Phillip and I are together.

That's my man. I'm his woman.

He told me he likes big girls.

He's just a supporter.

[Tammy speaking]

He's all for me losing weight and getting healthier.

Thank you guys for watching.

Bye.

- Hello. - Hi.

Welcome to the Miller House.

Today is my very first Mother's Day.

So we're going to have tea.

[Amy speaking]

One of my great grandma,

was the Queen of England.

[Amy and Tammy burping]

[both] Excuse me.

Tammy's secretly dating this dude.

He's got a fetish.

Because Tammy's big.

Answer me this. Are you engaged?

[lively music playing]

[Amy speaking]

It took me 33 years to be a mother.

32. Whatever.

[Amy] Today is my very first Mother's Day.

So we're going to high tea.

High tea is,

something snooty bitches do.

With their pinkies out.

No.

After Amy had the baby,

she become a different person.

[Tammy speaking]

[Amy speaking]

Oh, there's a lift.

Yeah, I forgot there was an elevator type dealio.

Yeah, right there it is.

[Michael speaking]

[door slams]

[Amy] Hi, Mom.

- Hello. - How you doing?

- Hi. - [Amy and Tammy] Hello.

Good to see you all. Welcome to the Miller House.

I am Valarie Roberts.

I am Kentucky's Etiquette Lady.

[all laughing]

This Mary Poppins looking bitch.

[chuckling]

Oh, she's in for it.

We're gonna break this lady.

So, today we're gonna have an afternoon tea.

Have y'all ever had an afternoon tea?

Or formal tea?

Or a high tea?

[Tammy speaking]

Okay. Well, how special.

We're gonna get into this today.

So, there's usually three courses

that make up an afternoon tea.

The first course

is always going to be your tea sandwiches.

The second course is muffins or scones.

And then your last course is the dessert.

[Tammy speaking]

[Amy] There is a lot of sugar on this table.

These little crustless sandwiches

that look like a two-year-old made.

Muffins.

And this piece of cake called penny fours.

And on top of that,

there's cubes of sugar.

Are British people non-diabetics?

[Amy] Let's see what this taste like.

[Valarie] Pour the hot water in.

I mean, I don't do it.

[Valarie]

No?

You drink tea.

[Amy and Tammy] Oh.

Not really.

[Darlene speaking]

I don't drink coffee.

Tea.

Cocoa.

None of it.

[Amy speaking]

You will really like this. It's delicious.

[Amy speaking]

[Tammy] Just try it.

- [Tammy] We're gonna try it with you. - Yes.

[Amy] You want lemon or...

I don't like lemon in tea.

[Tammy burps] Excuse me.

- [Valarie] No. - [Tammy] You sip it.

[Tammy snickers]

[All] No.

[Tammy] Use a spoon.

[country music playing]

- No. - Jerry.

Well.

I did bring

a couple of hats.

I think this will look good with your green that you have on.

[Tammy] God.

I love it. I think you all look good.

It's very Kentucky.

[Tammy speaking]

[Tammy laughing]

[Darlene laughing]

The hats were ridiculous.

[burps] Excuse me.

My grandma's brother has this family tree.

Going back generations and generations.

And apparently,

one of my greats

I don't know how far... a great,

grandma was the Queen of England.

[Tammy speaking]

Oh.

[Tammy] You're so ghetto.

My god.

- [Tammy] She took it all. - Good God.

Why did you... You could have put it on...

Amy, I taught you better than that.

I think Amy's in denial.

She can't continue eating this way

if she wants to lose weight.

I'm just taking a bite, one bite of everything.

Bitch you put that whole of petit four in your mouth.

[Tammy mimicking] Oh it's too much icing.

[Tammy snickers]

[gibberish]

Stop.

[bleeping] bee.

No.

[Tammy laughing]

Get out.

Get, get off me you sons of bitches.

[Darlene] Tammy.

Since you been outta the uh, rehab place,

is it easier or harder

to stay on your weight loss?

So far, so good.

I just wanna eat fruit

and lunch meat.

- Just not the... - Yeah, lunch meat's bad for you.

Well, I mean...

I just want something quick and easy.

And how's it going doing the exercises?

I don't have the equipment.

But walking across the street

or down the driveway.

That's exercise.

Any physical movement is exercise.

I know.

Ready to get the hell outta here.

[breathing heavily]

Oh [bleep].

[melancholy music playing]

[Amy] Seeing Tammy struggle to get from the restaurant to the van

is very hard to watch.

I wanna talk to Tisa,

about is Tammy really doing

what she's supposed to do.

Because if you're having that much trouble,

you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing.

[breathing heavily]

Here you go.

Have you seen Tammy's Instagram?

- No. - You might wanna check it out.

He's got a fetish.

Because Tammy's big

He wants her to stay

morbidly obese.

What the hell has she got into?

[captivating instrumental music playing]

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Tammy and Tisa have been working together for two weeks now.

And, sometimes when I go over there,

I am seeing Tisa working.

And Tammy's sitting in her chair.

But,

I am hiring you to help her.

Not do it for her.

Now, this is... you can do yourself.

It's those

uh, Kegel exercises, you know just sit in your chair and do it.

If you can shake your thing I know you...

[Tisa laughing]

[Tisa laughing]

[Tammy]

[Tisa] What is it?

Tighten up your butt muscles.

And you can sit there and do that all day long.

- [Tammy] I can't. - [Tisa] Huh?

[Tammy] I can't.

[Tisa]

[both laughing]

Come on. [bleep]

[Amy] Tammy can try to charm you.

I think that

Tammy is trying to be a manipulator.

So,

me and Tisa need to talk.

I'm trying to make sure Tisa's pushing Tammy

to lose this weight.

[Tisa] Bye. [Tammy] Bye.

Hey Tisa.

What's going on?

Um, I just wanna see how's Tammy doing.

Well you know what it's getting better.

You know my first, first couple of days,

kinda getting used to me and stuff.

Each day I go, she seem like she's getting a little more happy.

You know, smiling more.

And, you know.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

So do you have any concerns about her?

My main concern is just trying to keep her mobility.

You know where she can stay mobile.

Just little things that she can do. I try to do to help her.

What type of exercises she can do?

She can exercise her arms.

She can exercise her fingers.

But you gotta make her do it.

What the [bleep]?

What... this is not working out.

Maybe your finger

I guess but,

the fingers are not the fat part.

You gotta work out the whole body, girl.

How's the walking going?

Well, you know that walk is gonna be a struggle.

And when I say something about that walk

and it's just like a,

a defense.

And like she said, I'm already doing stuff with my hands, I cook.

I say, yeah you're awesome with your hands.

Yeah, but most of the times she is like,

"No, I'm not walking today.

[stutters] I've done this and I already done that."

And I say, "Oh, okay." But everyday I'd go, I'mma see would she walk.

[Amy] Tammy did

like 30 to an hour worth of physical therapy while she was up in rehab

everyday.

But now she ain't doing [bleep].

I'm really pissed at this point.

Tammy had a fire in her ass

to lose this weight.

She came outta rehab balls blazing.

So...

I'mma try my hardest.

I'm praying.

I'm praying. Cause I don't want her to have a back.

I wanna her to keep going forward.

- [Amy] Yeah me too. - [Tisa] Yeah.

[Chris] Hey babe, where you at?

Right here.

Ever since I stepped on the scale at Tammy's house,

I've been walking

and really buckled down on what I've been eating.

And now I just hope and pray that I've done enough

to get back on track.

Have you seen Tammy's Instagram?

Lord help me, no.

Yeah. You might wanna check it out.

- Is it that bad? - Mm.

[groans]

What the hell has she got into?

[Brittany] Wow.

Read that.

Currently dating The BBW King.

He only associates

with women who

weigh 300 plus pounds.

BBW

stands for big beautiful women.

But, you can't love somebody for their size.

He's got a fetish.

Because Tammy's big.

This says if I married you at 450,

and you get down to 299,

just know,

[Brittany] Am out.

That's ridiculous.

That's just shallow as [bleep].

He just likes fat girls.

That's the problem we have at hand,

is Tammy will not stay on track

if she's up there doing this.

The worst part about it is, is she is going to have to be talked to about it.

'Cause we did tell her we weren't gonna take no bull[bleep].

And this is bull[bleep].

- We just don't want it turn into another Jerry thing. - It's not. He's not Jerry.

Step on that [bleep] scale and show...

I'm not doing it.

Thanks for picking me up, bubby.

Hey, no problem. It's what we good for.

Yeah.

I recently found out that Tammy is secretly dating this dude.

And his name is BBWKing online.

So, me and Misty are heading over to Tammy

and maybe talk some sense into her.

I haven't heard nothing from her in over a week.

Well, that's because she's talking to that new dude.

It might be some of it because we were so down on Jerry about enabling her.

When she come home from that facility,

Tammy had a fire to lose weight

and do it on her own, that I've never seen in Tammy.

Yeah, and the next thing you know, it's like somebody flipped the switch.

[Chris] I got to talk to Amy

and found out that Tammy's been slacking on her diet.

And it's really depressing

'cause she knows what's at risk.

And she just kinda seems like she don't care.

Amy done tell me she didn't want no part going in there

and talking to Tammy 'bout her boyfriends.

If Amy goes in there with this, it'll be a knock-down, drag-out fight.

So, Amy just don't want no part of it.

Sometimes, I really don't think Tammy cares.

As long as she's happy, and with somebody,

she's willing to sacrifice everything for five minutes of happiness.

I think the boyfriend is a hindrance.

On the internet, I was reading that he doesn't want her to get below 300 pounds

and he's the BBWKing.

So, yeah, it was... It's a big concern.

You start talking to a dude, four days later

it's true happiness, like, they done fell in love.

And yesterday, or day before that,

she started putting down, like, that engagement rings on.

- Post... - Oh, I know. I've seen that Tammy was engaged.

She is?

That's what I've seen on Facebook this morning.

First of all, how the hell you gonna go from meeting somebody one day

and seven days later, you got engaged to [bleep].

I don't know.

But we are going to have to figure out a game plan

because, we'd waited too long to say anything about Jerry.

Last time, we let it go on for...

Yeah, and she gained all that weight and just, it's...

You know, six or eight months, we let him go on and all of a sudden,

you know, she done gain 90 pounds.

We just, have to make sure we don't have an attitude when we...

and that's hard for us.

- [Misty laughing] - Ooh!

[Chris speaking]

[Chris exhales]

- [Misty] Okay. - [Chris speaking]

[Misty speaking]

[Chris] Knock, knock!

How's it going?

- [Chris] Good, I guess! - [Misty] We were all just wondering how it was going.

Are you doing your steps, watching what you eat?

Yes.

[Misty] So, what kinda food you've been eating?

[Chris] Everyday?

Chris and Misty are here being nosy, asking all kinds of questions.

Tammy...

I've been hearing some [bleep], girl.

-I'm all about this. We're not doing... -I'm very, very concerned.

[Chris] My biggest concern is, Tammy, when you come home from the facility,

- you had a fire to lose weight. - Yeah.

I still do.

Even though he said if you get under 300, he's outta here?

He never said that to me.

He never said that to you but he's put it on social media.

But why is he doing [bleep] like that and then being with you?

He's trying to show other big women

that they're beautiful too, like, supporting them.

- Does he support you for your diet? - [Tammy] Yes.

- [Misty] Yeah. - I guess I'll have to wait until we get there.

[Chris] In order for you to be around here 20 more years,

you have to stay on track with your diet.

We gotta get ready for this doctor's appointment that comes up shortly

for Dr. Smith.

And you know, when you step on that damn scale, it ain't gonna lie for us.

Do you think you'll be ready for your doctor's appointment?

You feel like you lost any weight?

It's been about ten days since I've seen Tammy.

And, you know, I think she's gained some weight.

I didn't say this.

Where all we wanna do is make sure you stay on track,

so you can be self-sufficient,

and go do whatever the hell you want when you want.

But you're gonna have to get off your ass and put the effort.

Because you done started pissing me off.

Because you're trying to shut down right now. So I'm--

No, [bleep] not. I'm saying [bleep] talking to y'all.

I am going to do it.

[Chris] Me and Misty are here at Tammy's today

to talk to her about what we've heard on, you know, social media.

The rumors about Tammy and this dude getting engaged,

and I hope to God it's really not true.

[Misty] Well, I assumed, I assumed you would.

-[stammering] The... the... then... -[Chris] But we wanna ask.

[Tammy] I would come to you [bleep] and tell you.

No, [bleep] no.

Well, that's what's on the [bleep] damn internet.

- [Misty] I didn't. Hey. - Wouldn't you think, I would come and [bleep] tell you?

Hold up now.

It would be nice for someone to take my side every now and then.

I didn't wanna do this [bleep] today.

That's the problem. You don't wanna do nothing any day.

Step on that [bleep] scale and show me.

Because you know you haven't. And that, is the bottom-line.

We're not trying to hurt your feelings or ours.

[bleep] whatever, man.

Why can't I [bleep] just be happy, for once?

[Tammy sobbing]

We were just worried because he has made it known

that he doesn't want you under 300.

What if I don't wanna get under 300?

Now, is that you or him?

Me!

Because he's influencing you.

No, he's not.

[Misty] Yeah, Tammy shocked me real bad when she said

maybe she didn't wanna get under 300 pounds.

I'm hoping she doesn't give up and go back to doing what she was doing.

But, I guess, the scales is gonna tell it all. I don't know.

Okay, Phillip don't do that.

But that's all we were worried about,

is, him influencing your choices.

Your track record says...

Let the track record go. Your track record ain't too clean, either.

But, I'm not the one in your position.

Doesn't matter.

It does matter if you wanna live wh... a while longer.

We do not wanna have to bury you.

But, you still need to do what the hell the doctor...

-wants you to do. -[scoffs] What am I not doing?

- The walking. - Walking [bleep], whatever.

I don't wanna walk outside because, one, it's either raining,

or, two, it's [bleep] hot. So, that's why I want the [bleep] damn nurse

to take me somewhere but I haven't went anywhere.

So, are you walking around more in the house?

No, we're not.

All right.

[Chris] Next time on 1000lb Sisters...

You look like you have a mullet.

[imitating] I'm Billy Ray Cyrus, bitch.

Wigs could do a lot for your looks.

[in an alien voice] I am from the planet Mars.

[smirks]

[Amy speaking]

[shrieking] It was! It was!

Me and Michael called a home organizer

because I want a nice, clean environment for Gage.

[sobbing] Having people come here

is so embarrassing.

[Chris] This is Tammy's first appointment since she's left rehab.

[doctor] Let's step up here on the scale.

[Chris] If Tammy's weight starts going back up,

it's kinda like game over for her.
