losing weight for a special date!! looking for friends to help stay on track

hi! my name's ira - i've been on mfp one or two times before, but it hasn't stuck. this time, though, i have special motivation!

i'm in a long-distance relationship with the woman of my dreams. we met online two or three years ago, started dating just recently, and in november (three months!!), she's going to fly up to spend a week with me! it'll be the first time we meet in person and i'm absolutely losing my mind with excitement. of course, she loves me just the way i am, but i want to look my absolute BEST for her when we finally meet, and that's what got me back on the wagon!

i know it's easier to stick with a diet and exercise plan when you have buddies keeping you accountable, so i'd love to make some friends on the forums! feel free to add me, and it's so nice to meet you all ✨
