Vitamin D deficiency

I just found out my vitamin D level is a 9.  I have also been trying unsuccessfully to lose weight since I stopped breast feeding. would this have impacted my ability to lose weight? I am now taking vitamin D supplements. Any other suggestions for good vitamin D foods?

You did not mention your Calcium levels and suggest getting it checked. Vitamin D is available through our foods - Fortified milk, breakfast cereals, egg yolks, fatty fish, fish oils, and the sun. Sit at a window with the sun shining in for about 1/2 hour (few times a week) and that will help you get enough Vitamin D. Research has indicated harmful and, possible toxic, effects from excess amounts of Vitamin D and it is recommended not to exceed supplement 2000 IU per day for adults over 25 years old. Hoped this helped you.
