I'm in my first Max week of 2nd month. Was down 5 lbs and just GAINED 3 this week!! I'm so pissed. Was trying harder to hit my recommended/allotted 2100 calories/day this week since I was only able to eat like 1500 cals previously. Maybe that's why? Did anyone's weight go up temporarily before it came down?

    I am just finishing up my Recovery /Core week. Will start the max stuff in a couple of days. I did not lose anything the first month. This week, I have dropped a bit. I suddenly feel like my legs are much thinner..... So I haven't lost much weight yet - maybe 2 lbs. But, I don't have much to lose either so I know it comes off harder and more slowly for me. Sorry - that wasn't much help! I have heard that people see the most results in month 2.

    For me it was towards the end of the 5th week, that it really seemed to start coming off in regular intervals. Plus I know whenever I start to up my calories it usually take my body a few weeks to adjust before I start losing again....HTH!

    That's water weight you gained. The Max workouts are really hard, and stressing your muscles makes them swell to repair the damage. This is really common in the first week or 2 of a new workout routine. For me, it usually lasts 1.5- 2 weeks before my muscles adjust, and then I see some sudden weight loss. As long as you eat at a calorie deficit, you should lose actual weight.

    Alright. I guess in the meanwhile i really need to bulk up my water intake as well then. Ugh. Trying so hard to be patient but it gets discouraging! :cry:
