Default Need Help with Toilet Was Seal

My wife (and I love her) is on the heavy side, and so over a short
period of time her continued use of the johns in my house cause the

Weight should have nothing to do with it,
unless the floor is flexing excessively.

Now, if the toilet is "rocking" because it
is poorly anchored, that is another matter.
A rocking bowl will quickly break the seal.

Here's one of several that is not wax:
