1000-Lb Sisters: Will Chris Combs Steal Tammy's Spotlight Due To Weight Loss Update & Health Journey? (He Could Be The Show's Brightest Star)

1000-Lb Sisters co-star Chris Combs has become a fan favorite, and he may even steal the spotlight from his famous sisters. The show is supposed to be about the weight-loss journeys of 37-year-old Amy Slaton and 38-year-old Tammy Slaton, but their other siblings participate in the show, including 44-year-old Chris. Like the rest of his siblings, Chris has gone on an incredible weight-loss journey since the show premiered in 2020.

There are many reasons Chris became such a fan favorite on the show. The fact that his journey has been nothing short of extraordinary is a big part of it. His positive attitude is also a big part of the draw. The 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star has a fun-loving approach to losing weight, which many fans are inspired by. He's also a deeply committed family man who's always there for the other Slatons. He's funny and entertaining, which has made Chris a fan favorite who threatens to overshadow his siblings.

Chris' Weight Loss Is Also Impressive

He Once Weighed 450 Pounds

Chris weighed over 450 pounds when he made his 1000-lb Sisters season 1 debut. He had bariatric surgery in 2022, and lost 150 pounds. He weighed 300 pounds, which was less than he'd weighed in many years. In March, his doctor, Dr. Eric Smith, posted a before and after of Chris on Instagram. On one side is a photo of Chris before he lost weight, and on the right is a recent photo of Chris finishing a 5k run. His incredible journey has kept fans interested in the fast food restaurant manager, and he deserves more screen time.

Chris's Family Life Is Interesting

Tammy's Single

While many of the Slaton siblings have struggled when it comes to romantic relationships, Chris has been happily married to 36-year-old Brittany Combs since 2016. The couple met while they were both working as McDonald's managers and have been together ever since. Chris had two children with his first wife, and has three grandchildren. His personal life is interesting to fans, and is a contrast to Tammy, who's still single and childless.

Chris Is Becoming His Best Self

More Surgery?

Chris has come so far since making his 1000-lb Sisters debut in 2020. Not only has Chris lost an incredible amount of weight, he has continued to build on his happy marriage while being there for his family. They say that nice guys finish last, but everything seems to be coming together for Chris. While Tammy is always entertaining, fans could decide they're more interested in Chris's story. 1000-lb Sisters season 6 ended with Chris going in for his first skin removal surgery, and his results will be a highly anticipated topic for season 7.
