You can use a transform to stretch the model. For example, use non-uniform
scales to make the model wider and shorter without making it thicker. This will
affect the entire geometry of the person. If you want to be able to enlarge
just part of it, then break the model up into individualy resizable chunks, and
scale each of these. The entire body can then be grouped under a single
transform for global scaling and positioning. Alternatively, capture a
representative of each body form you want (pear to stick) and use morphing to
combine the best bits of each.
Good luck
