I like what bigandy said about challenging yourself with mock competitions. I think it's a good idea to either compete or to do that. I'm entering my first contest next Sat. (good lord, 1 week left...) and I don't think I ever would have gotten around to losing the fat if not for this contest. It took me long enough to lose, and I'm still not in good competition condition (still a little lower ab fat and little bit in love handle area), but I've hit my personal best and will be better prepared next time. I just keep thinking, Wow! I need to keep this fat off, it looks great to be lean!
I'm also 6'1" (1.75" but why split hairs) but will be coming in at a measly 205 or so. I've got a light bone structure and broad clavicles, so I've got a pleasing shape. I want to take the next year off from comp. after this and get up to 235 and fairly lean then compete at 225 in the same competition in 2008. We'll see, but that's my plan.
