The World’s Heaviest Living Woman

Donna Simpson, 42, from New Jersey, weighs more 42 stone and aims to reach 1,000 pounds, or 71st. The mother of two children, 3 and 14, models on a website where admirers and the curious can pay to watch videos of her eating greasy foods or walking to the car. She has appeared in television interviews and said she welcomes media coverage. A Guinness World Records spokesman said Miss Simpson has submitted a claim the title of world's heaviest woman to give birth, a claim that is reviewed.

Among the heaviest women ever recorded was one who reportedly weighed 128st and who reportedly weighed 85st at the time of their deaths.

Miss Simpson said she has received a book offer and wants her reality show, partly to give plus-size women more confidence. She wears size XXXXXL clothing, she buys mostly online, and calls herself member of the "fat acceptance community."

"The bigger your butt is, the bigger belly you have, the sexier you are," she said.

Miss Simpson has found a man who says he appreciates her size, and they plan to marry in Hawaii this year. Her fiancée, 49-year-old Philippe Gouamba and the father of her three-year-old daughter, said he not finds her attractive, but is also one of her biggest supporters in her quest to expand her girth. "You look at her curves and see her full belly and generous hips," Mr Gouamba said. "It's very sexy."

Miss Simpson said she gets emails from women who think they will never fall in love or have children because their weight. "I just say that's not true," Simpson said. "I would love to be a voice, so people can see a woman of size having a regular family."

Miss Simpson spends as much £516 a week on groceries, suffers Type 2 diabetes and struggles with basic tasks as cooking and taking a shower. But she dismisses critics who warn that her weight can lead heart problems, aggravate her diabetes and cause pressure on her joints.

"I'm very healthy. I go to the doctor every three months," she said.
