Last year, Claire announced that she had stopped weighing herself after saying that scales could “break our heads”.

Claire wrote: “Okay this is mental!!! Lost 6 pounds in just two days.
“As it turns out, don’t rely on the scale. It could be the time of day you weigh yourself, how you position yourself, the time of the month. Water retention, everything makes the difference.”
She concluded: “I’m going to use my favorite pair of jeans as a benchmark from now on. No wonder dandruff can rack our brains. From now on favorite jeans and photo diary.”
