Anyone go by measuring tape & not the scale for maintenance?
Seeing the scale numbers fluctuate gives me way too much anxiety so I think from now on I'm going to measure myself once a week at the same exact spots and go by that. Does anyone else do this? That way I won't be able to see actual water weight on the scale.

Is running/jogging w/ camelbacks ok?
I know camelbacks are used for hiking and runners use those fuel belts, but is it ok to use a small camelback for, let's say a 10k? Wasn't sure if its bad for your back and why people use fuel belts instead because they seem really uncomfortable and wobbly!

Has anyone used a nutritionist here?
Sooo...I've been on a strict nutrition plan for 1 month now and I love it! I like the fact that the plan is specifically for your body type based on a detailed personal evaluation.
