Welcome to the club! Congrats on being unoffically engaged lol! One thing I have learned about exercising with other people is walking is a good place to start. You could go on an evening walk just the two of you...good time to talk too. You could also go to the gym together. But remember everyone exercises at their own pace so this might not be the thing for you. You could also maybe take up a class together. By doing this you get to spend time together while learning something new and meeting new people.

30lb in 9 months is totally possible. Giving yourself 8 months to lose 30lbs is great too. You have a lot of time to get the weight off plus some. So losing only 4-5 lbs a month is totally in reach. Tipically you can loss that in about 2-3 weeks but there is no rush. Don't work yourself to death. If you have time then use. The longer it take to get the weight off the longer it will stay off. It takes time to make a life style change. You can't change the way you have been living for the past few years in only a few weeks or a month. It takes trial and error. With the support of all of us here on the forum and your boyfriend will keep you going.

Good luck!

Great job!!
