Here are all of the "illegal" foods I've had since Saturday...(The subway and the chicken fingers were dinner substitutes.)
3 Chicken Fingers and a small portion of steak fries (Saturday)
Subway Club (Sunday)
Jimmy Johns BLT (Tuesday)
2 cupcakes (Tuesday/Wednesday)
1 small square of cake (Wednesday)
6 sour cream and onion chips (Wednesday)
1/4 cup of ranch dressing
1 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed
Snack bag of Frito's
.......I have managed to get 4 workouts in so far this week (6.5 miles), and at least 60 oz of water each day (M-Th so far) and at least 32 every other day. UGH....I don't see a 2lb loss in my near future (Friday), but I don't want to see a 2lb gain either...what do you think? How much will I gain this week?

Full Version: Am I going to gain this week
That's really difficult to say, considering:
a. we don't know what else you ate this week
b. we don't know when you ate them, i.e. did you eat breakfast at all?
c. we don't know whether the things you listed are supplemental to or instead of other JC items you were supposed to eat
d. we don't know what calorie plan you're on.
e. we don't know what you did for exercise

Sorry...I guess I should have added that...
Everything else I ate this week as Jenny food...Breakfasts, lunch and dinner with the exception of saturday and sunday. Saturday I had the Chicken Fingers for dinner, and Sunday I had subway for lunch. The other foods were in between Jenny meals. I'm a 1500 calorie plan and as mentioned earlier, I have managed to get 4 workouts in so far this week (6.5 miles), and at least 60 oz of water each day (M-Th so far) and at least 32 every other day.
There are a lot more factors that lead to weight "gain" than just what you did or didn't eat and drink, exersize, etc. There are also monthly hormonal shifts to consider, water retention due to salty foods, water retention due to some kinds of exersize, water retention due to changes in the weather, etc. etc. etc. Sometimes you might even gain for no particular reason... I once gained 4.4 pounds in one week even being on-plan! The next week I was down 5.4, to my immense relief.
You probably did not eat enough to gain FAT, which is what your aim is, isn't it? You may have even lost a tiny amount of fat since I doubt you ate enough to completely overcome the calorie deficit for the entire week, though it isn't likely to show up on the scale this week due to the above mentioned water retention factors.
Instead of focusing on ONE WEEK's weigh-in, just work on changing the bahaviors that contribute to weight gain and dont worry so much about what the scale is telling you (like letting one or two off-plan meals snowball into a lot of off plan eating, all-or-nothing perfectionist attitudes, etc.). If you are doing the things you need to do, the scale will eventually follow.
Go to you weigh-in this week, fess up to eating off plan (trust me, the JCC's have heard it all before), and work together on a plan to go forward from here. And remember that no one is perfect. Mistakes will be made, and hopefully you will learn something from each one.
Take care,
Angela

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANGELA! You have made me feel so much better! I guess I got caught up in the things I didn't do well this week and not the things I did well, like water intake and working out. Thanks again!
-1.6 lost this week....I guess all the working out and water helped! I've gotta work out just as much this coming week and drink as much or more water to make sure all of those sweets don't show up next week!

What may work better for next time is to figure out why you've been so easily persuaded to eat foods that are not supportive for you. Even if you keep your splurge down to 1x/week, instead of eating random foods throughout the week. I'm sure you haven't considered this yet, but if you try to think about why you needed all of these items, you would have realized you didn't which would have cut down your consumption on such high sugar items. Consider a walk, or a healthy alternative in place next time. You may have gotten away with things this time, but I wouldn't want to see this as your new behavior...isn't that what makes maintaining so difficult?!

Thanks for the feedback. I totally dodged a bullet this time. I think it was connected to PMS because I'm not a huge sweets eater...either way. I've learned my lesson and will kill next months cravings with Jenny cake or a smore's bar!
