I haven't considered removing the cardio portion of the exercising, no. The 3 times a week full body workout is what I was doing for my weight training, though with cardio on the non lifting days for 30 minutes. With that exercise regiment and eating ~1500 calories per day, I stayed at 275ish pounds for 3 weeks.
Prior to that (around a year ago) I started going to the gym and counting my calories via myfitnesspal, keeping them around 2000 / day. Same workout routine except there were 20 min cardio sessions after weight lifting + 45 minutes to an hour on off days. I did that religiously for 6 months only missing days when the Y was closed for a holiday. I managed in that time frame to go from 300 to 315 pounds.
I don't care how much someone says, "but your turning fat in to muscle" the fact of the matter is I was getting bigger, which is the exact opposite of what I'm trying to accomplish. So when the same trend started happening the 2nd time, I decided it was best for me to focus on the weight loss until I got to a weight I was happy with, at which time I can get back in to the gym regularly and work on finishing my transition.

The problem is your only eating 1500 calories at 275 pds. You're wrecking your metabolism .
