Claire Sweeney has shared an important insight on why you shouldn’t rely on scales to measure your health or fitness after she “lost 6lbs in two days”.The Brookside star, 51, has been on a health and fitness kick, telling her Instagram followers earlier this week: "Love being curvy, but wanna feel fitter, stronger and shifting a little bit of timber won’t go amiss lol." However, she shared an important insight when weighing herself two days apart and finding that the scales were telling her she’d lost almost half a stone - a figure that is unlikely to be true in such a short space of time.

Claire shared an image from a fitness app which showed a variety of body statistics. Numbers within the image said she weighed 12.06 stone on Monday, and 11.86 stone on Wednesday - meaning a loss of just over six lbs.
