Bill,
What you typically see on here are usually younger animals or adults that aren't fed a lot. A lot of older females will look like that. I've got a picture on my hard drive (at home) of a 3-4 year old female that's about the circumfrence of a silver dollar. It's not my animal, so I don't want to post it, but email me and I'll send you the pic.
In the wild, they don't climb glass, so don't worry...it's not a requirement for a healthy gecko. 
Assuming she's got good calcium stores, it looks like she's ready to produce a lot more than 8 eggs this year if you do things right (keep her warm and well fed, etc.).
BTW, you should name her Bertha. 
>>I got this hefty girl this weekend from RetileFauna.COM. They said she is about 2 years old and produced about 8 eggs last year. She is friendly, alert, and seems healthy enough, but I wonder just HOW healthy. Is it just me or is she REALLY fat? I notice she cannot climb the glass, but her toepads look fine. Is she too fat to even stick to glass? Should I (I don't even know if you can) put her on a diet? How would I even begin? I just usually see slim, sticky-footed cresties on here.
