Busy Breastfeeding mom of a 5 month old

Hi! I'm Christina. I'm 23 and gave birth to my beautiful daughter back in August. I only gained 28 lbs during the pregnancy and lost 21lbs in the first week but have since plateaued. However I had room to lose before I became pregnant, so pre-pregnancy is a short-term goal but not my long-term goal.
Since giving birth I exclusively breastfeed my daughter, which I believed would help with my weight but either it hasn't or I was countering it with terrible eating habits and not much activity--which I'm changing NOW! However I'm very nervous about all of this because I don't want to endanger my breastfeeding.
I'm mainly looking for motivation and support and any advice or guidance people are willing to share. Please add me!

    I'm breastfeeding a 9 day old bubba & live is Sydney, Australia

    I've lost 9kgs (19lb 13.466oz) from breastfeeding alone (oh & pushing bubba out hahaha)
