Probably a mix of jealousy and frustration. Let it sink in a little, perhaps not mention it for a few days and see if she "gets" it. The motivation has to come from inside, no chance to for you to effectively motivate her. Congratulations on your weight loss girl, you keep going and get fit and hot! :-)

I am thinking that your mom is probably disappointed with herself and being critical of herself, so she heard an implied criticism of her in your question that you did not intend and that wasn't really there. Give it a few days, let her work through this. And then invite her to do something healthy with you, like take a walk or prepare a new healthy recipe or something like that. If she continues to be standoffish about working on this with you, I think you have to have a frank talk with her. Something like, "Mom, I want to be supportive of you. What is the best way for me to do that?" might be a good way to approach it. In other words, focus on getting her to tell you how you can best help her, and leave the rest of it alone.

I agree w Lomoc n Beesley, n 2nd what they said.

Check w your Dr 1st.

Body lust for protein

Think of a lion. it does what hunts n eats protein. lion only rest to slightly digest the meat n water, then it's on the move again.Lion also requires sleep.
Lion does what ? moves. My form of exercise is walking) N he eat's protein throughout the dy., drinks water, sleeps.

We need:

Protein ( in pharmacy @ wal mart "Whey protein" )
fiber ( Wmart Original "Fiber One" cereal )
water ( suggest 80 oz..I drink a gal )
move ( exercise/move )
sleep ( scheduled 8 hrs )

regarding 8 oz of water. the body uses 5 oz during dy.. while we're alseep, body/brain uses just about all of 3 oz of 8 oz., so think how much healthier the brain n body is when it gets lots of water.

I also suggest:
scale n measureing tape.
only weigh in the 1st thing in morning.

No grease white flour
limit starch carbs salt

I use dark but not to dark olive oil.

Cal's in Cal's out ratio

when/after workout,don't replace cal's out w cal's in while keeping to set dyly cal intake,to maintain current.

Lets say my set dyly cal intake is 1.500. what ever I eat my body uses/used nuti, so 1 or more hrs after I eat, I can go ahead workout to burn up, lets say 15 cal's durning a workout w/o replaceing the 15 that I used up.

Sorry for rambleing but I hope that you will be able to do as lion.

we r no diffrent than lion w exception that we need fiber.

Makes me remember myself as a teenager. I was overweight and so was my mother. I would diet and hoped she would diet with me, but she would just say no! It would have been a great help to me if she had set an example of good eating and self-discipline. But no, I had to do it alone, at 14 and 15 years old!

I really admire and commend you for your positive attitude. You are taking responsibility for your own body image and health. If your mother doesn't want to take responsibility for herself, there isn't much you can do. My advice is, don't say anything more. Just keep doing right for yourself.

We are all on our own journey. What works for one person does not work for another. Awesome job on your weight loss!!! In short, ask her what she thinks will help raise the bar in the weight loss for both of you. She is not wanting to be led after a minor set-back so maybe changing the dynamic and putting her in charge will make her more strict on both yall and only assist the weight loss goals....
