If you have any friends who are medical at all, it might help to have them reassure her that men lose faster and easier then women. She may be a little jelous tha tyou seem to be losing so fast and easily while she struggles more.
If she is a sever carb addict who has to deal with insulin unbalance, she may blame herself for having cravings and giving in at times. Has she read any LC books? CAD could be a good book for her to read if she is a carb addict.
Keep going for your goal, but instead of focusing on the scale, why not focus on overall health and make it a family activity. Take walks together, join a gym and spot each other, play frisbee in the park and so on. If you have kids include them too. This way everyone gets in shape together and it's a fun bonding experience.
If she's already lost 10 pounds congradulate her on her success. Offer to cook for a while and show her LC doesn't have to be just another deprivation diet that's hard to stick to. She may be scared to give LC a full try because of fear of what happens if she fails another diet where you are succeeding so well.
You should probably be upping carbs and moving through OWL anyway since you are getting closer to goal. Why not pick up Atkins for Life when you get about 15 poudns within goal and go to premaintanance. Yes weight loss will slow a bit, but it will better foster good eating habits that will make it easier for you to keep the weight off. It will also open up alot more variety in meals and make family meals more to everyoens tastes.
