I did gain a pound. How much of it was fat or water retention I don't know. I did feel bad, but then I realized I hadn't had a cheeseburger and fries in TWO years. So it was worth it for me.
Thanks for asking about my son. He is doing better, he still has fever, but not as high.
I did start the food journal. I posted under Daily/Monthly plan log. I am on the green, that just means in am short a fruit and vegetable serving.
You can still have the burger and fries, use the Carb Craver menu option if you don't want to gain the possible pound like me. When I was on gold I did do the occassional "Not on Plan" meal with the family. The difference was that instead of making the meal like I used to before LAWL I used the healthier versions of the ingredients. Low-fat cheese, fat free sour cream, lean ground beef etc. If you decide to, drink the hot lemon water to help eliminate retained water.
