US model has grand ambitions, to say the least

An obese US model wants to be 115 stone.

Susanne Eman, who weighs 52 stone, is eating 20,000 calories a day in a bid to become the fattest woman on the planet, and she hopes to pass the halfway mark of 57 stone by the end of the year.

The 32-year-old woman aims to reach her ultimate goal by the time she is 41 or 42 years old.

She said: "I'd love to find out if it's humanly possible to reach a ton.

"A previous record holder was 115 stone, so I have to be at least that. My next goal is to be 57 stone by the end of the year.

"At my current rate of growth, I should be 115 stone by age 41 or 42."
