Hi Amanda! Great to hear that it's nothing serious, and good luck with your efforts to get your iron back up.

I'm just going to echo what others have already said here but PLEASE don't go down the diet pills route... it's just bad news all round. Again, I won't just repeat what Dalia and Bev and everyone has said - they've given great advice. I'd just add that the BEST way to rev up your metabolism to help you lose weight is to add in some WEIGHT TRAINING to your routine - adding just a bit of muscle mass to your body speeds up your metabolism like nothing else. Continue with cardio and eat right (not too few calories though! Make sure you're getting enough or your body will think it's starving, etc etc etc you know the deal). Those pills, like slimstyles and hydroxycut and such ("fat burners" they call them now) are just full of such nasty stuff. Plus even the companies don't advertise them as weight loss miracles any more - they sell them as "part of a complete and vigorous exercise and diet regime", kind of like the extra push (it's a clever scheme really, but they'e still totally unnecessary and just plain scary).

Anyway, didn't mean to jump down your throat or anything Just trying to help! {{{hugs}}} and good luck with your weight loss!
