im in the process of trying the exact same thing. i started at 228 im down to 210. 185 is my target and im also 6'0.
any diet or training advise? how much cardio were u doing? what type of lifting program? what type of foods?
any advise you can give me would help alot.
Let me break down what I did during different stages
In actuality, I started weighing 236 and 28.5% bodyfat. I made sure that I had my bodyfat checked with calipers before I got started. pretty funny huh? almost 29% bodyfat.
That was really shirry \ /.

236-225 Cut out soda, elliptical 4 times a week at least 45 mins high intensity
At this weight I remember sweating like a PIG!!!!
I would sweat so much that it would get all in my eyes and drip all over the floor.
225-212 Prior to this stage I didn't really lift any weights, I figured I was FAT and I needed to focus in on that first. This is where I started to train with weights. So this stage was weights with cardio after training about 4 days a week. At this point the diet was cleaned up a smidge but not by much and I was just more aware of what I was eating.
212-203 Continuing to train hard with the weights (All muscle groups throughout the week) and cardio but I started to eat sandwiches all the time. These were my typical eating schedules...
ALWAYS 1/2 cup of oats for breakfast with Sh**loads of Splenda.
During the day I ate every 2 hours and it was usually one of these meals listed below
Sandwich(Aunt Hatties sugar free bread, Boars head cajun turkey breast, mustard, dill pickles)
or
Sandwich(Aunt Hatties sugar free bread, tuna, mustard, tiny bit of mustard)
or
Whole wheat pasta, ground beef, any plain pasta sauce with about 50-60 calories per serving.
or
Protein blend (I used HDT Problend 55)
DINNER:
I would only agree to eat out at certain places, China Lite, Mongolian grill. Still watching my portion size very carefully.
Most nights I wouldn't have any carbs.
Once I got down to 203, that was my really sticky point.
I actually ended up gaining like 7 pounds back before I got serious again.
--->185 Volume training on weights, cardio twice a day(30), Low intensity on treadmill and stairmill.
Started taking Lipo 6 twice a day until it was gone,
then switched to VENOM, Which totally rocks and got through half a bottle. Notice that I didn't use any thermo's until the last stages. Venom is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
