Since then I've weight trained, eat six meals a day (and the right foods) and have gone up to 180 (with only a 2 to 3 percent body fat increase) and am cutting right now. I'd have never thought my metabolism was this fast since I've been consistently losing 1-2 lbs a week since the beginning of September now. Most people surprise themselves at how fast their metabolism really is if they merely reset it by increasing their food intake for a period of time.
