His older brother nursed until he was 16 months and I just cant wait that long! I was so excited about doing this and now I am depressed again...

There are other things you can do while your breastfeeding though. I may even be wrong, they may have a modified version for breatsfeeding mothers. I just don't know. You would just have to call them and ask if they have a modified version for you. You can always increase your activity, increase your water, get off sugar and caffeine, quit fast food and fried food, cut out snacks, these are all things you would have to do anyway if you were to do MRC. Shoot for well balanced meals. Protein/starch/veggie/fruit. Choose leaner meats such as turkey, chicken, lean beef, white fish (may want to limit fish while breastfeeding though not sure), choose whole grains such as whole grain wheat breads, brown rice, old fashioned oatmeal. Use olive oil to cook with when at all possible, season your food with low salt seasonings rather than butter, sour cream, dressings. Limit your sodium intake as much as possible and switch to sea salt. See, look at all you can do right now.
