Sisters Tammy Slaton and Amy Slaton struggled with being overweight all through their lives. Having decided to get in shape Tammy Slaton joined the weight loss rehab facility. However, the first day at the center didn’t go as planned. Tammy wasn’t breathing and was put on a ventilator and spent a few days in a medically induced coma. Now, the 36-year-old has come a long way in her weight loss journey as she had reduced several pounds to undergo bariatric surgery. After the procedure, she is even happier about her better condition. TAMMY SLATON IS THANKFUL FOR BEING ALIVE The 1000-lb Sisters star after the life-threatening event improved herself physically and is proud of her transformation. She was inserted with a tracheostomy tube for facilitating breathing after she woke up from the coma. And now after the surgery, she lost more weight and improved her lungs. In a recent post, she was seen posing without the oxygen tube. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/TS-2-3.jpg] “I’m feeling great! I’m thankful to be alive, and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am,” she told People [https://people.com/tammy-slaton-candid-weight-loss-exclusive-7509316]. The television series 1000-Lb Sisters documented Tammy’s journey unfiltered. Fans could clearly see her progress in the show. Though getting on to the scale was the most disliked thing to do for Tammy, the measurement on the scale once surprised her. In one episode of the show, the television star overdid her weight loss goal by dropping to 550 lbs when the target was 717 lbs. “When I got on the scale and I saw the scale was at 534.7, I kinda stopped breathing for a second,” she exclaimed in the episode that streamed on Feb. 7. There are many such inspiring weight loss transformations on the internet. A MAN ONCE LEFT HOME TO PURSUE WEIGHT LOSS GOALS Bryan O’Keeffe took a unique step to overcome the weight loss struggle. Having tried all weight loss fads, the 34-year-old almost gave up on his transformation journey. But the book David Goggins ‘Can’t Hurt Me’ motivated him to analyze his failures to march on the path of success.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.
