In a TikTok video posted on August 17th, Tammy synced her emotions with Andra Day’s song “Rise Up,” showcasing her transformation alongside six other “weight loss warriors.” Together, the group has lost a total of 2,078 pounds. Tammy expressed her pride in the caption, writing, “I’m incredibly proud of all of you. You have stunning external features in addition to your inner beauty.”
