1,000 Pound Sisters star Tammy Slaton brags about the benefits of losing 300 pounds after finally being able to walk unaided again.

She was seen getting out of a gas station completely unaided – without the help of her usual stroller.
The star wore a long-sleeved gray knit dress, paired with black yoga pants and carried a black shoulder bag.
