CLAIRE’S BODY JOURNEY

Like many women, Claire’s weight has fluctuated over the years. Mum to Jaxon, six, she once admitted to trying ‘every diet going’. She’s worked with both WW – with whom she released the 2005 DVD, Claire Sweeney: The Perfect Fit with WeightWatchers – and SlimFast.

Following the latter from 2017, she had lost 4st by 2019, after a friend told her that she was ‘looking fat’ – though she thanked him for his honesty! Determined to get her ‘pre-baby body back’, the Liverpudlian star hit the gym hard, taking up yoga and following her SlimFast regime – dropping from a size 14 to a svelte size 10. But as Claire has admitted, she loves her food: ‘I’d love to pig out in a nice restaurant, drink loads of wine and have a big curry or Chinese meal. I’ve just got to try to resist that temptation.’ She added, ‘You name a diet and I’ve probably done it and got the T-shirt… I suppose deep down I was missing the self-belief and focus I needed to get back to where I wanted to be.’ Well, Claire has got that focus back – she became seriously disciplined with her workouts during the pandemic and that old figure was returning. It was those last, stubborn pounds that she needed help with – enter Lesley and her treatment. Now Claire is the proud owner of a figure Jessica Rabbit would be proud of! So, we ask, what did she think of the treatment? ‘It was great,’ says Claire. ‘There wasn’t a lot of downtime, as it’s not as invasive as lipo, and it was great being able to get into clothes that I couldn’t fit into before. It was just weight that I couldn’t shift after my baby. It just got rid of the last little bit – and I’m now trying to maintain it with diet.’
