*heavysigh* I really wish I had something smart ass-ed to say right now, but I am having a tough time with my dietary schematics all around right now... so, I'll just say, more power to you 
Have just a bite instead of the whole thing. I'm trying to lose a few pounds and, unfortunately, we eat out a lot. So Larry (my husband) will have the steak and I'll have the fish and steamed veggies, then I'll just take a bite of his to satisfy my craving.johnson0424 said:

Speaking of dieting... My sister in law started taking this pill called Fastin (sp?) a month ago. I just saw her the other day and OMG!
She has lost over 30 lbs already. I'd say she only needed to lose maybe 15 and is skinny as a rail.
I think I'll get me some.

But wait, there's more...

Isn't that a form of Phentermine? Make sure she doesn't keel over.
Side effects include diarrhea, dry mouth, constipation, an unpleasant taste, hives, impotence, palpitations, high blood pressure, and fast heart rates. Central nervous system side effects include overstimulation, insomnia, restlessness, tremor, and dizziness.
I have a question. "Overstimulation" of what?

Central nervous system maybe, so I guess that means racing thoughts? :shrug:

meangirl said:Oh. So Fastin is Fen-Phen? Dayum, I just found a place online to order it too.
Not fen-phen ... just phentermine.

Well, I could deal with those side effects for a month. :shrug: Crabcake has me scared to order it now though.

Appetite suppression isn't my problem. My problem is that we have too many social occasions where food and beer are part of the deal. My grandmother always taught me, "You diet at home" and that's so ingrained that I would never dream of insulting my hostess by nibbling carrot sticks instead of whatever she slaved on over a hot stove.
Plus I like to cook - my happy childhood memories are of houses that smelled like homemade bread and chicken gravy, and I love it when my kids come home and go, "YUM! What IS that???"
So now I just have a bite and eat a Lean Cuisine for my real meal. And my SIL, who is a fabulous cook, accommodates me with turkey in addition to the ham or steaks she's feeding everyone else.
9 effortless pounds gone so far.

I'm taking another drug as you well know from another thread in another forum. In a matter of 3 days I've lost 7 lbs. The thing is, the side effects never mentioned acid reflux, nor was the goal of the medication losing weight, but
I called the doctor today and felt like a total dork. He said are you having headaches? NO Racing heart beat? NO Dizzy? No more than normal and a few other questions. He said a “few” of his patients have experienced this and it may or may not go away.
In a round about way he basically said if I was under weight there would be a concern but since I’m not, we’ve got a way to go before it becomes a concern.
Side effects very from one person to another so.... I wouldn't base taking a drug or not on the fact that maybe 2% of all users of the drug experienced those side effects.
Vrai WTG on the weight loss.

Yes, WTG Vrai on the weight loss. I am just not that strong of a person...especially not at home.
I see what you mean Pandora. I am going to go ahead and order it. I just told my husband...at least if I have a heart attack or whatever and die...I'll look good in my coffin. I told him to take my dead body to the tanning bed then bury me in a bikini!
