<human>: Freshman in college. Running around 230 at 5'11. Not setting an exact weight goal I just want to look in the mirror and not cringe at myself and stay there and have to buy some new jeans by the end of summer. My biggest problem areas are my thighs and gut. 

My biggest and only true success so far is that I've gotten my portion sizes down.
Usually for breakfast I'll have an apple, a glass of orange juice, and if I'm not in a rush I'll have yogurt as well. Then for lunch, I'll have something being served, unless nothing looks good in which case I usually have a bowl of Raisin Bran or Cheerios. Then for dinner, I'll have something being served or I'll make myself a Panini. 

I'm slowly cutting down the soda. I ran out of soda in my room that I bought the day I got back and just have been sticking to water. I still have soda at lunch and dinner. Sometimes only at dinner.  And I'm not finding it that hard so far. I'll probably cut it out entirely soon. 

My dorm has an exercise room with treadmills and the like. I was planning on slowly building up to incorporate a daily run into my schedule. My mom did this when I was younger and the pounds just poured off of her.

So: Am I forgetting something? Anything else would be helpful.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I want to lose weight. I've cut food portion sizes. Am removing soda from diet. And plan to start running. What else should I do?
