Im at 6'1 male whos always been thin except the last 3-4 years ive put on about 35 pounds. I got up to about 215. Now the last month and a half ive lost 20 pounds and im down to 195. I did this by running about 5 days a week for about 30 minutes and cutting my caloric intake to around 2000 a day.
I was sick last week and i took off about 8 days from running. I then ran 2 days, hurt my foot (an old sports injury that i sort of hurt again) and now i havnt run for about 4 days. My question is, how long does it take to start putting the weight back on? Didnt really stick to my diet this weekend either. Just worried thats all. Thanks

You really kicked up your metabolism while losing those 20 pounds. If you continue to do a maintenance type regime, ie watch the sugar and fat intake and walk or run three times a week, you should be able to maintain or continue to lose a little more.
One way to maintain weight more easily is to develop your muscles by doing weight training. More muscles translates into easier maintenance. Okay? Do one day with weight training, then the next with walking/running. The third day rest. Then start over with the next day weight training, etc etc etc.
