As long as you have taken the active pills every day at approximately the same time you will be protected for the week of sugar pills. The reason they are there is to keep you in the habit of taking the pills every day and so you know when to start a new pack. It is OK not to take them as long as you start the new pack after 7 days although I don't think there is enough sugar in them to make you gain weight. I think most weight gain from being on the pill is due to water retention. Good Luck.
