Well, I have a 7 month old baby boy.... I was 155lbs pre-preg and went up to 198lbs during and am now down to 164lbs.  I lost weight fast after having him but seem to have hit a slow spot for the past 2-3 months.  For other reasons I am slowly starting to supplement and wean him off of the boob.  I found that while breastfeeding, as long as you get enough rest, and relaxation your milk supply shouldn't be affected unless you carry very small amounts of fat.  A great book for info is " Eat Well, Loose Weight, While Breastfeeding" by Eileen Behan.  But as noted from others, it's going to be way harder not to count calories.  And excercise is essential.

And about the vegitarian diet....you can't loose weight without proper nutrition.  Protein and fibre will help a lot.  If your not already try drinking a protein shake in the morning.  It will help with hunger and engery throughout the day.  It's made a huge difference for my energy levels.  And now I've started loosing weight again.
