<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

First off, thank you all so much to all of you for your determination and help and inspiration. I've been lurking on this subreddit for a while and it's really helped me adjust my diet, keep going, etc. A bunch of things have been victories over the past few days so this post may be long, I'm sorry!

I'm a 6'1" female, 22 years old. SW: 210 CW: 179 GW: 170. I'd been steadily gaining weight in college, kind of ignoring it because I was so busy with getting my engineering degree. I hit my top weight of 210 last year and realized how much I hated how I looked. I had been really fit in high school and I got really depressed with how I had let this happen and I truly did not think I would ever be thin again.

Last summer I tried losing weight for a vacation. I got down to around 195 by adding exercise and trying to eat less. I went back up to 205 over this past winter though. I had a sort of break down around the time of my birthday in the winter and I decided to be in better shape by my next birthday.

I started eating cleaner and went paleo for the first few months of this year and managed to make it down to 195 again. Then in May, I started counting calories and walking a mile most days after work. I've been eating around 1200 calories a day and keeping my carbs under 50g. I also cut back on dairy and started drinking 80 oz of water a day. I stepped on the scale today and saw a number in the 170s for the first time since mid-high school!

I also dug up my measurement sheet from last February a few days ago when I was frustrated with being on a plateau. I have dropped 3 inches off my waist, 2 off my hips, 2 off each thigh, and 1 off each arm. My smallest pants are now loose and need a belt. I'm in better shape than I ever was in college and once I hit my goal weight I plan on upping my calories and adding weight lifting :) 

Thank you again for all of your inspiration and helpful posts and just for everything this sub is about. You are all awesome!!!
<bot>: I'm smaller now than I ever was in college and I never thought it would be possible and I love you all so much!
