Amy Slaton lost 124 pounds just to earn the operation — then got pregnant a few months later. That is the last six years in one sentence: every time Amy Slaton hits a milestone, life hands her a new one. Tonight, the supersized cut of the Season 9 finale airs with bonus scenes — the perfect night to lay out her timeline date by date, from 406 pounds to a song called “Pounds Hollow.”
January 2020: 406 Pounds and a Baby on Her Mind
When 1000-LB Sisters premiered in January 2020, Amy weighed 406 pounds and had one goal louder than all the others: she wanted to be a mom, and her weight stood in the way. By the end of Season 1 she had qualified for bariatric surgery, lost 124 pounds to get there, and had the gastric bypass. Three years after the operation, she had lost 176 pounds, according to reports — and the baby she had been chasing was already in her arms.
November 2020 – July 2022: Two Sons, Two Years Apart
Gage Deon Halterman arrived on November 10, 2020, only months after Amy’s surgery. Glenn Allen Halterman followed on July 5, 2022, delivered by C-section. In under two years, the woman who had started the show fighting for the chance to have children was a mom of two.
March 2023: The Marriage Ends
The marriage to Michael Halterman, her high-school sweetheart since 2019, ended in court. Michael filed for divorce on March 13, 2023; it was finalized that September, with a shared-custody agreement reached on September 6. Amy later told People her mental health after the split was “the worst it’s ever been.”
September 2024 – October 2025: A Camel, a Court Date, and a Halloween Wedding
On September 3, 2024, Amy was arrested at Tennessee Safari Park after a camel bit her; she and Brian Scott Lovvorn were both charged. She pleaded guilty that December — a $1,000 fine and two years of probation, with the child-endangerment charges dropped, according to reports. The man beside her that day became her husband: engaged that December in a haunted-house proposal, Amy married Brian on October 31, 2025, at Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, Kentucky. A year later, her Halloween wedding to Brian was still the date fans measured everything else against.
August 31 – November 10, 2026: A Fight Becomes a Song
On August 31, 2026, Amy wrote a poem in the middle of a fight with Tammy — “hoping that one day that everything would be all right” — and named it for Pounds Hollow, the family’s childhood getaway spot. That poem became the poem she wrote during the fight that turned into her first single. Announced August 18 as her first country-rap track, built with AI-generated music, it drew a rebuke from her brother Chris on camera: “If you use AI to do anything, you didn’t do it.” The 2:41 single dropped September 18. She recorded it for real in a Nashville studio, then sang it live at an open mic on October 27. On November 10, the finale’s watch party showed her beaming as the video played — then in tears as the room questioned whether she really sang. Gage, 5, got a “co-director” credit.

The supersized cut airs tonight, Sunday, November 15, with bonus scenes — and Amy’s next date is still unwritten. The finale left her with an update on her skin-removal surgery, and the checklist Dr. Katie handed her — 20 more pounds and quitting smoking — still stands between her and the operating room. Meanwhile, fan channels claim “Pounds Hollow” vanished from Spotify and Apple Music around finale night, with no official explanation so far. No Season 10 renewal has been announced, so tonight’s bonus scenes may be the last new footage of this family for a while.
So which date on Amy’s timeline changed her life most — November 10, 2020, the day Gage was born; October 31, 2025, the Halloween wedding; or September 18, 2026, the day “Pounds Hollow” dropped? Pick one — and tell us why the other two don’t come close.
