You have to take a step back and focus on heathy habits and small steps instead of weight loss. You need to use the goal setting from Spark to help you re-establish new habits. You have do doubt read my comments about the need to eat 3 meals and a snack a day that is AT LEAST 1800 calories or more. If you are not able to do that then you will NOT lose weight so you need to start with forming good daily eating habits.
Use Spark to set up 1 basic goal that you will build on each week. Good eating is a marathon not a sprint and trying to make it happen quickly is not going to lead to long term success.
So, for this week, go in change you goals so you have just one which is to eat 3 meals every day. Make sure you go in and keep track and celebrate your success each day when you go to bed that you have eaten 3 meals (a meal is some combination of an entree with protein, fruit/veggie, grain and dairy). That is your only focus for this week - to eat 3 meals. Next Monday when you have mastered that goal, then you add the next goal of have 1 snack a day. After you master those two goals then you add a third which is to make sure (you don't need to track until the 3rd week) that those 3 meals and 1 snack add up to more then 1800 calories. That will take you to the end of March. Once you have mastered those at the end of the month get back with me and we can set up your goals for April.

So its about every Monday that I tell myself that Monday well be different, I wont be weak, & I will stick to healthy eating. & every Monday afternoon I find myself feeling weak & then by Tuesday I'm off again. I feel pathetic. I need to lose weight, but I'm on my own on this & I don't think I can do this on my own. My mom is over weight, too. I think if we both set our minds on this goal maybe we could accomplish something. ANy advice, please?!
