Hi! Looking for keto friends

Hi all, I'm new here and would love friends also doing keto!
I'm generally very focused on nutrition and fitness, but in the fall/winter last year I had some really stressful stuff going on and was sick, and I was still usually low-carb but I found myself eating crap more and more often, and I've gotten sort of flabby.
In January I decided to bar sugar and processed foods from my diet (along with things like dates that trigger my tendency to binge eat sugary things), and about 3 weeks ago I decided to dive into keto. I've done it a few times before, and love it mainly for the mental benefits, but also because it minimizes digestive issues I have.
I'm around 145 lbs now, and I think I'm shooting for 120 - 125, but I'll just see how it goes. I'm headed to Hawaii in June; I'll wear a bikini now, but I'm a bit self-conscious of all the wiggly bits, I want to just enjoy the trip and not have anything holding me down mentally. I'm also into Taekwondo, lifting weights, running/cycling/yoga pretty much whatever. Finally, I'm a scientist and I love digging into the research on keto; I've got a pretty extensive library of full-text studies which I'm fortunate to have access to through my university. I'm always up for discussing research.
My diary's open, I cook all the time and love getting new meal ideas from people.
