Women Chasing World Records—One Thigh at a Time
While many women strive to slim down, others are going in the opposite direction—pursuing record-breaking body sizes. Michele Rufinelli, a 40-year-old mom of four from the U.S., holds the Guinness World Record for the largest thighs, proudly embracing her unique figure with her family’s full support.
Despite daily challenges like transportation and clothing, Michele lives life on her terms—even driving her own truck and modeling as a successful plus-size figure.
Meanwhile, Bobbie-Jo Westley, who weighs 540 pounds, is determined to break Michele’s record. Earning up to $2,000 an hour via webcam, Bobbie-Jo remains focused on fame, despite growing health risks.
Their stories highlight just how far some are willing to go to defy beauty norms—and make their mark.
