  • Sounds pretty dire! Very sensible to have a blood test if you're unusually and persistently run down. But I wouldn't take a supplement if don't know what's causing the fatigue. My own Vitamin D is fine -- check it out with a doc first!

They gave me a 1200 calorie intake as well and I'm getting there in no time, even with pretty healthy eating!! You can see the nutritional percentages by clicking on home and weekly summary (that's on the…
