Viewers are eager for Amy and Tammy to return in 1000-lb Sisters season 3, but fans without cable might be nervous about keeping up with the Slaton sisters. Season 3 promises to be a pivotal one in Amy and Tammy's lives as their relationship issues reach a boiling point, and it would be a shame for any fan to miss out on the next chapter of the Slaton story. From where to catch up on earlier seasons to how to catch the season 3 premiere, here's everything there is to know about watching 1000-lb Sisters without cable.

Throughout 1000-lb Sisters seasons 1 and 2, Amy and Tammy were primarily focused on achieving their weight loss goals. Amy managed to qualify for bariatric surgery in season 1 and expand her family with the birth of her son Gage in season 2. Unfortunately, Tammy's journey on the reality show's past couple of seasons hasn't been as fruitful. In season 1, Tammy lost some weight, but never enough to be a candidate for surgery like her sister. Last season, Tammy made less progress and gained weight. 1000-lb Sisters season 3 appears to be a turning point in both Tammy and Amy's journeys. Tammy's running out of time to get her health on track, and Amy's losing patience when it comes to putting up with her sister's temper tantrums.

Currently, 1000-lb Sisters seasons 1 and 2 are available to watch on Discovery+, a burgeoning streaming service launched by the Discovery network. For $4.99 a month, Discovery+ subscribers can access every episode of 1000-lb Sisters ahead of the season 3 premiere. The first 1000-lb Sisters seasons are also available on Hulu, however, they're locked behind a Hulu + Live TV membership which costs $64.99 a month. Another way to catch up on the past events in the Slaton sisters' lives is by purchasing a subscription to the TLC app. On Reddit, fans discussed more ways to stay up to date with Amy and Tammy if the popular streaming services weren't a viable route. One Reddit user suggested, "You can get Philo. It's about $25 and has all the Discovery channels (Food Network, TLC, ID, etc). Plus...you can DVR shows for no extra cost."

This Reddit user and 1000-lb Sisters fan continued to share their enthusiasm for Philo, adding subscribers can "watch all seasons of any show... Plus get access to all apps like ID, TLC, Lifetime. It has Nick, TV Land, lifetime, IFC." According to Philo's website, subscribers also have live TV access, making it another way to watch 1000-lb Sisters season 3 without cable. While Philo sounds like a great alternative to cable and prominent streaming services, it's not the only option. Another fan explained that YouTube can be a nifty tool for catching up with the Slaton sisters' affairs. The Reddit user wrote, "Go to Amy's Youtube channel sort videos by old to new and start from the very beginning." While this isn't the best advice for a new fan hoping to watch 1000-lb Sisters season 1 and 2, Amy's YouTube channel is unsurprisingly bountiful in entertainment value.

After a pair of absorbing seasons, 1000-lb Sisters season 3 is expected to be the climax that no fan can afford to miss out on - even if they don't have cable access. From paying for a subscription to Discovery+, Hulu, or Philo to browsing Amy's YouTube channel for extra content, there are plenty of ways to keep up with the Slatons without a cable network. Whether fans watch online or on cable, 1000-lb Sisters season 3 will be a must-see.
