As long as your metabolism has increased you'll be less likely to put on that weight.
I got lazy and stopped following my low carb diet, didnt gain back much weight, even after not going to the gym for a while.

Josh, ever heard of the Colorado Experiment?

I'm sure you could probably eat more than you do. I have a friend whos an ectomorph that's pretty big now and he had to eat a very strict diet before he could gain the vaguest muscle memory to retain mass over 170 pounds.

Until you start eating carbs again - then you'll gain all the weight back in half the time you lost it.
If you're serious about losing weight (and it's more than just 10 pounds), I suggest meeting with a nutritionist, or starting a program (ie. Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers - those 2 are the only one's approved with a great success rate).

If you don't want to do any of the above then I'd suggest smaller portions, more vegetables, and exercise (gradually build up your level of exercise - if you do nothing for exercise in a typical day, start by taking a 10-30 minute walk 4 days a week, then move up to 5, etc). Also take vitamins regardless of what you do.

low-carb diets are pretty stupid. They're good if you're a bodybuilder trying to prepare for a competition, but beyond that, they're not good for jack shit. Slow carb is actually more effective. You still consume carbohydrates, just the right ones as opposed to junk and a lot of whole grain like some people seem to do.

So a slice of cheese on ham, topped with peanut butter is good for you? xD

Yeah, it is, actually, if you portion it correctly.

In some cases, you need to eat more food to lose weight.

oh ok, it must not work then

It did work. That's what it's suppose to do, it's like a temporary adrenaline rush. Makes you stronger more then bigger.

I wish I could help out, but I've gotten to where I don't even know how to exercise right. I'm also wanting to lose some fat and tone the muscles on my legs. And when I was trying to lose weight NOTHING on my chest ever went. >.< But good luck in your endeavors ma'am. It can be very difficult.
