    When your muscles get worked more than normal they retain water weight to heal them selves. It does not mean this weight will stay its just till the muscles get used to this more intensive program. Don't fret about it :happy:

    When your working out muscle don't expect to see tons of weight lost. Are you following the insanity nutrition guide?
    Pay more attention to you measurements then the scale.
    Could be the food your eating has to much sodium and that making you weigh more. It will go away after your body recovers when you sleep most of the time.

    The scale will go down a bit, but you will lose inches if you stick with the program. A group of coworkers and I started Insanity in the beginning of July and are half way through Month 2. All of us are losing inches and not much weight due to building muscle. We've heard that the people who did a second round of Insanity started to see the scale drop, so that's what we are hoping will happen to us as well. I highly recommend having someone take your measurements so you don't get discouraged from not seeing the numbers on the scale go down. If you stick with the program, you wont be disappointed.
