1000 Lb Sisters S1:E4 —"A House Divided"

Amy and Michael sneak out for shrimp creole like two teenagers hiding from their mom — except the mom is Tammy, and she’s mad before the appetizers even hit the table. The duplex next door suddenly looks like the Garden of Eden.

At their one-month check-in, Amy shows up looking adorable and 11 pounds lighter. Tammy shows up with 8 pounds gone and 8 excuses ready to go. Dr. Procter is not buying what she’s selling. They head to therapy where Amy cries, Tammy deflects, and a professional tries to untangle 20+ years of “You ate my leftovers” energy.

Back home, the girls hit the YMCA pool, where Tammy becomes positively joyful (and honestly? kinda cute) floating around like a mermaid. Amy dreams of a real wedding and real progress, but Tammy insists that if they’re not losing weight at the exact same rate, it’s abandonment. Because of course.

Scales get bought, feelings get hurt, mobility scooters get parked, and the episode ends with both sisters claiming they’re motivated — but only one of them has actually put down the fried food.
