Claire penned: “Ok so this is mental!!! 6lbs lost in just two days.

“Goes to show, don’t rely on the scales. It could be time of day you weigh yourself, how you position them, time of the month. Water retention, all make the difference."

She continued: "I’m gonna use my favourite Jeans as a gauge from now on. No wonder scales can wreck our heads. Favourite jeans and photo diary from now on!"

She added: "Love being curvy, but wanna feel fitter, stronger and shifting a little bit of timber won’t go amiss lol."
