I'm doing a couch to 5k as well! I start Week 3 tomorrow. I never thought I would be a person who likes running (well, in my case jogging) but it is growing on me! Which app do you use? I am doing Zombies Run! The story is entertaining!
(Funny aside: I told my mom about the app and she just didn't understand the concept. She says zombies aren't real so what am I running from? Then she asked why didn't the developers make the app called Dogs Run! She stated that she is more likely to run from a dog than a zombie lol. I get my pragmatism from her.)3 -

Okay, that made me laugh a little....your mom wants to be really terrified for her life if she is going to run, apparently!!!1 -

Weigh in week: March Week 2
Weigh in day: Monday
Previous Weight: 223
Current Weight: 221
The walking and eating at a deficit is definitely working....another two pounds!! Fantastic!!
No doubt the stress of the ‘big day’ is a contributing factor, but hopefully this is something I can maintain.
I have a goal to wear a particular dress this Christmas Day. I last wore it in 2012 (before my last kid) and brang it with me to Australia when we moved. I’ve decided either I wear it this Christmas or I get rid of it...and I really want to keep it
I like your goal dress idea. I have one of my own. I bought a dress at an outlet store in September that was probably two sizes too small. My goal was to wear it at Easter, and if I had continued with my weight loss since December, instead of reversing the trend, I would have, probably, been able to. I am just now thinking about when I could wear it next...if I lose the weight. My son is best man for his buddy who is getting married in early September. We won't be invited to the wedding (there is a lot of family on both sides), but I would love to go to the ceremony. I could wear it there. So, just over 5 months to lose, I don't know, 20 pounds? There. I have put it in writing!!!2 -

Not the "fun" kind of exercise, but the kind that leaves you with a clean house, so the "win/win" kind of exercise!!1 -

Last year when I started to try to get back into shape I never joined the gym so I was doing most of my cardio outside, which lead to me injuring my knee, then my ankle, and aggravating my back so the doctor told me no more running.
This time around I only get on the treadmill once or sometimes twice a week, but have the flexibility of the elliptical, stationary bike, or even rows for cardio. The different options have helped my body recover between each running session but still maintain and gain stamina in the process.
Taking my time to get back into everything is working great, have to keep the mindset and understanding that I did not gain all this weight in a month so therefore I am not going to lose it in a month either. It stops me from getting frustrated or discouraged.

I am glad you didn't listen to your doctor about the running. In my experience, it is just too easy for them to say, "stop running" rather than suggest you do all the right things that can help you get back into running. There is strength training, stretching, modifying frequency of runs, duration of runs, running surface, changing your running shoes, etc. Sometimes it is a long process, and not worth it to the would be runner, but very few people should not run because of injury. I am not saying don't let the injury heal, of course, just that it shouldn't stop you forever if you don't want it to.3 -
It is amazing what good shoes and a more forgiving surface than concrete does but the stretching and strength training my legs this last year have helped tremendously... But I'll just keep eating into it and steady increase to prevent any injury like before. 4
