Sally, I know how you feel about your wt. and other things happening with your body.I am 22 & overweight(210 lbs) I was diagnosed w/ diabetes 6 months ago and I had a rash that would not go away.I tried all kinds of creams,but finally my dr. prescribed Difflucan.I immediately saw a difference in a couple of days and in about 5 days the rash was completely gone and hasn't returned since. Don't let what one insensitive person says get you down,you should be delighted over the 10 pounds you lost.That is an accomplishment and I want to say CONGRATULATIONS,I know how hard it is to do.If you ever want to talk e-mail me @ flgatorfan1996@yahoo.com Good Luck.
