Congrats! I'm also 6'2", and started this spring at 220. My excuse was that I was working and in school for years. 
Nice taking off some extra pounds, eh? Keep up the good work.

Very Cool. 6' 4" and quite a ways away from sub 200. For me it's been the new baby and the full on office job.

congrats
im 6'1" and started cycling in may when i graduated. I was right at 200 then and now im down to 165
i think most of that has to do with the fact that i have been working on a oil tank construction project since then as well, but cycling 100+ miles per weekend also helps.
I would not try to limit your self to losing only 5 more pounds. I told my self that if i got under 180 i would probably look too skinny, but as the weight came off it was just motivating me to get more and more lean
keep up the good work, i think you will be surprised how much you can lose and feel great/look great while doing it!

x2 Goals are there to be worked for, it sounds like you will have little or no trouble getting another 5.
To quote the Priceline commercials... "Go lower!"
FTR I'm 6' 2.5" and 165lbs.

That has to feel good. Keep cycling. And remember George Hincapie is 6'3", 175lbs. In cycling you can only be too fat, but often a fat cyclist looks thin compared to the civilian population. The only person in the sport who's too thin is M. Rasumussen, and we know what happened to him.

You can now leave the welcoming world of the clydesdale forum for the snobby, opinionated, judgemental world of the road bike forum

Progress stops upon satisfaction, fatty.
Seriously so often I see people go through these steps:
- Set a self improvement goal
- Work hard and achieve it
- Pat themselves on the back
- Stop working and revert to comfort state
- Backslide
- Repeat
