    Maybe she is just trying to be supportive and remind you that you don't have far to go.

    I don't know her but from what I read maybe it was just to keep the conversation going? Didn't sound like a jab, maybe just her own way of encouraging. Generally speaking you wouldn't have extra skin from a ten pound loss but like you mentioned she hasn't been over weight so she wouldn't really know. Don't stress give her the benefit of the doubt =].
    Great work by the way!

    She's just jealous!! --Just kidding.

    Would you have rather said it looks like you have a lot of fat on your stomach left to lose? She is interested in your progress and is being supportive. Sounds like a good friend.

    I think that you can rest easy that she's not jealous or getting a dig in. I am pretty sure she was just being complimentary.

    She might also be hurt that you would think otherwise, so I would just put it behind me if I were you.

    that's kinda what my boyfriend was saying when I told him. I don't take "you might have extra skin" as a supportive comment :-/, to me it means, well, there's no hope in the world of your belly ever being flat without plastic surgery! See what I mean?

    Uh...no. I think you are reading way too much into it.

    Honestly, you know her better than anyone, and the decision is yours.... I have had a few toxic friends in my lifetime... and two of them had alot of bearing/ jealousy or gloating with weight.. and in turn that lead to me competing with them and leading to unhealthy descisions......
