First I must say that I lose and gain weight super quick, almost effortlessly at time. Its a blessing and a curse.
The way I got down to 185 was simply by changing what I ate on daily basis and sticking to it. I used to go to the gym the same amount that I do now, but I did not watch what I would eat at all. I could eat few slices of pizza for breakfast, some pasta for lunch and go out for steak later on. This of course be combine with my normal workout ingestion of whey, or back then weight gainer.. I had abundance of calories going on.
One day I just didn't want to look like I did anymore. I didn't have a gut hanging over my belt but I new I had some extra weight on. So I decided to lose it.
Took me about a semester of eating clean, and lifting just as much as I was before, plus incorporating the "holy **** cardio day" that I talked about earlier. I got down to 190 by December, and later on to 180.
I hated being 180 pounds, didn't seem like a good number. Plus I was a lot weaker than I was at 220. So this semester I'm slowly gaining weight, but in good clean fashion. I got myself to be almost as strong as I was before, with the exception of leg strength. I miss that the most. Squats used to be my favorite exercise because I could put up 405 pounds on the bar and go to town with it. Now I struggle when I approach 300, its mentally disturbing... But I'll get there.
I did it for cosmetic reasons reason, I didn't like the look of uncut 220 lbs.. 185 is much, much better. My gf agrees
