I have been doing Insanity for almost two weeks, eating really well, but today I feel and look more enormous than ever. What gives?

    I felt that way today too. It was 90-something degrees and I have been eating salty food and low on water.

    On these days I wear loose clothes!

    water retention as you start working those muscles.

    Don't panic, your awesome!

    water retention and bloating....hence you feel huge.

    I know my weight went up a few lbs from water retention last week but I felt like I looked fine. Today though I literally look bigger than I did last week. Ugh.

    How long does that water retention thing usually last?

    Body image issues? You're perfect the way you are. We all have days where we feel bigger than we really are.
    Or it could be the water retention. Happens ALL the time to me.

    It's probably water retention. Don't sweat it. :)

    Thanks for the reassurance guys. Hopefully I'm feeling a little better tomorrow.
