Anyone else feeling a little "puffy" after week 1?

I'm not worried that I'm getting fatter or anything, and I know that the weight gain I've had is probably a combo of TOM and water retention after starting Insanity. But is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they look a little "puffy" or bloated after week 1?

Like I said, I'm sure it'll go away in no time, I'm just wondering if it's all in my head or if others are experiencing something similar.

    I am glad I am not the only one! I don't really feel more bloated or puffy but I did gain a pound which I found strange because I was good with my diet and worked out daily. I am just guessing it is water retention and hopefully it will go away soon.

    I've been feeling this way too! I've read that when you work out your muscles, they retain extra water as they repair and get stronger :) Hope it's true!!

    I do have some good news though. Now that I am almost done with week 2, I have lost 3 pounds since I weighed myself last week (when I gained 1) So I think the water weight is starting to come off...Yay!
