Great that you are getting the kids involved in preparing!
Dont worry about your gain, your body might have been in shock from the first great loss and slowed your metabolism (survival mode!) I watch the biggest loser (inspires me!) and in the first week they always lose stupidly high amounts lile 20lbs! But the second week they usually STS and often GAIN! Even after a week of 5hrs a day exercise! It is the body's way of coping with the loss the first week, it freaks out as it thinks it must be starving and tries to prevent further loss.
I would stick at EE for now as you did so well the first week so clearly it works for you. It is hearbreaking to gain so early in a plan but let your body adjust to it. What time of day do you WI? Could it be that you had a big meal or lots of fluids before? I find going to the loo can reduce a pound on the scales easily- lol!
Original is quite tricky to start with but can help boost losses later.
Start a food diary here and people can suggest if you are doing something wrong (like I was eating standard packs of choc buttons thinking they were mini- they were so small! 8 syns instead of 4 :| and I was having a packet nearly every day for a week!) x
