New here! Baby weight issues....

Hi everyone!! I thought I'd try this fitnesspal thing! I had my first baby girl January 2015, gained 45 lbs from it and immediately the first month I lost about 30 lbs, not even trying but breastfeeding. My first summer was great, I still wore a bikini even though I still had 15 lbs remaining compared to pre pregnancy weight. I am 5'6 and was 130 when I started and then last summer was 145....NOW here's where the problem lies, my daughter is 17 months and I have dropped breastfeeding sessions significantly since she drinks whole milk. While I still nurse 2 times a day, it's a major drop from before and with that I have noticed a drastic weight gain! I do think part of it also is since my daughter now sleeps through the night I tend to enjoy 2 beers or 2 glass of wine a night which I am guessing is probably a factor of my weight gain on top of the drop in breastfeeding. Today I decided NO more drinks at night and see if that helps at all! Hopefully it will on top of lots of salads and what not. I am currently now 150 hoping to go back to 130 ASAP! I used to eat like a bird but since having my daughter I eat like a freakin elephant because I was always hungry while breastfeeding but now my stomach is equipped to eat a lot I'm hoping to shrink it down again like my bird style! Anyway, there's my information for you all and if you share anything similar let me know! Any advice this way is much appreciated!!

Hi Sarah, I'm a breastfeeding mummy to a 20 month old little boy. I've slowly been packing the weight on with all the chocolate that I "need" to keep up my energy levels.
I'd had enough last week and decided to get myself back in shape.
Good luck with your weight loss1
