Okay, been there done that.
Do NOT do the no carb thing. Yes, those fad diets work to drop pounds fast, but you're also losing energy, not to mention the fact that those diets don't knock the weight off permanently. You NEED carbs to burn. You don't have to eat, like, a loaf of bread and eighteen different types of berries with every meal - you can cut carbs DOWN, but DO NOT cut them out.
It messes with your emotions, your sleep cycle, and you really can't do any substantial exercise without carbs. Carbs are to your body what gasoline is to a car. You need your fuel to function correctly.
If you cut carbs out long enough your body can forget how to digest/burn them at all, and if you eat them, you're gonna gain weight back.
If you want to lose the ten pounds you gained in a permanent way, put carbs back into your diet, and start a cardio routine. Eat something small every three hours - kick your metabolism up a few notches. Keep your calorie count at 1200 AT LEAST. Check your Basal Metabolic Rate on line to see how many calories you should be eating to maintain, and how much you might want to cut down to lose. Make sure you sleep enough, too.
I don't want you to think I'm attacking you or anything. I'm just recognizing some frighteningly familiar things, like a weight obsession, being known as "the skinny girl" (my friends used to throw me around (some still do)) that led me to anorexia a year ago.
Watch your obsession, try to keep yourself in check. Measure your SIZE, not your weight. You could have more muscle than you think, and your weight could come from there. (I personally weigh about ten pounds more than everyone thinks I do - I'm skinny as hell because I work out a lot, but because I work out, I have a lot of lean muscle, which weighs more than fat.)
Anyway, if you want a more specified workout plan, drop one in my inbox or contact me on AIM (SirenCytherea).
Good luck!

First of all, stop being obsessed with your weight so what you gained a few pounds it was probably good for you. Do not do the no carb diet because while you are losing weight you could also be losing energy and being that it means you can really only eat dairy products, you could e be throwing you cholesterol down the drain. Instead of trying to loose weight quickly you should focus on loosing it gradually so that you can develop better eating and exercise habits. Eat all of your food groups, and check the food pyramid website for more information(at the bottom of this reply). You should probably start with aerobics: running, jumpng, skating, stepping, get your heart rate up and start excersising about 30 min every other day or three to five days a week. With a good plan you can lose weight and not sacrifice your health.
