Where do the 1000-lb Sisters live?

Tammy and Amy live in Dixon, Kentucky, a three-hour drive from St. Louis, where they may be visiting for a vacation during the third season.

They film in the small city of Dixon in Webster County. However, the production crew have travelled to other parts of the United States.

Some filming happens in Atlanta, Georgia, where one of the best bariatric surgeons in the country, Dr. Charles Procter Jr, is based.

It takes Tammy and Amy five hours to drive to his office!

Have they always lived there?

Yes, Tammy, Amy and their brother Chris are originally from Dixon. However, they were both born in different places.

Tammy was born in Illinois, and claims younger sister Amy was brought into the world in Indiana. They were raised by single mother Darlene.

The sisters grew up in small city, which is 1.26 square miles in total. They both attended Union High School, when Tammy aspired to be a nurse.

This is where Amy met her long-term boyfriend and now-husband Michael Halterman, who she got married to in Nashville, Tennessee.
