'1000-lb Sisters' star Amy Slaton has revealed her 200lb weight loss in stunning bikini pics.
The 38-year-old, who once weighed more than 400lbs, gave fans a glimpse of her slimmer figure in an Instagram teaser for her forthcoming AI-generated country track 'Pounds Hollow'.
Slaton's debut song is set to be released on August 26, and the process behind the track will be featured in the upcoming season of the TLC reality show.
In a teaser shared on her Instagram, Slaton could be seen standing beside a picturesque river donning a bralette top and cover-up.
She held out her arms as text reading, "but i did tho..." appeared on the video.
The clip came after her brother Chris Combs was shown questioning the creative process behind the song in a video from the new season, which premieres September 1.
"If you use AI to do anything, you didn't do it," he said, per the Daily Mail.
Another section of the teaser showed Slaton walking toward the camera along a quiet road surrounded by green trees.
For that scene, she sported a patterned dress that ended just above her knees, paired with a black-studded jacket and black boots.
Slaton told her followers that the video represented much more than simply releasing her first song.
"Y'all are getting a little sneak peek, but this is only part of the journey!" she wrote. "From an idea in my head, to the music, filming, editing, and finally watching everything come to life - this one means a whole lot to me."
Slaton said viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at how 'Pounds Hollow' came together during the new season.
"Y'all are gonna get to see the process, the work, the laughs, the nerves, and everything that went into making this dream a reality," she said.
She described the experience as "something I'll never forget" and said it involved "stepping outside my comfort zone".
She concluded: "This isn't just about dropping a music video. It's about watching something that started as an idea grow into something REAL."
Slaton has also explained that pursuing something new is partly about setting an example for her sons, Gage, five, and Glenn, four, whom she shares with ex-husband Michael Halterman.
"I'm learning as I go, trying new things, stepping outside my comfort zone, and showing my boys that you're never too old to chase a dream or try something you've never done before."
Her eldest son even landed a role behind the scenes: "But we can't forget his handsome little co-director, Gage Halterman," Slaton wrote. "Gage was right there helping out and making sure the grown-ups knew what they were doing! He might be little, but that co-director title is OFFICIAL in this mama's book!"
The reality TV star's latest music venture comes as she continues to show the results of a weight-loss journey documented on the show.
Slaton once weighed more than 400lbs before undergoing bariatric surgery in 2019. PEOPLE reported in 2023 that her weight had fallen to around 230lbs following the procedure.
Her sister Tammy underwent the same surgery in 2022 and has since lost 500lbs after previously weighing more than 700lbs.
Amy previously explained that the sisters' relationship with food stretched back to childhood.
"Mom was always at work, so we had to learn how to cook and stuff for ourselves," she told the outlet. "And at 10 and 11 you really couldn't prepare healthy food and stuff."
Tammy added: "The microwave was our best friend. Ramen noodles, bowls of soup, things that were quick and easy - stuff that adds on carbs."
Amy also said the sisters were bullied at school and that she "started eating my feelings".
