Fat burning pills work on the idea is that doing cardio at an increased body temperature shall make you burn more white fat.
Supplements claim to statically increase your metabolism... This is usually rubbish
Well the pill that does work is ephedrine ..which is a thermogenic... but its illegal in the US, because people who didn't know better were abusing it. Its legal in Canada (if under 8mg/pill) and you can buy it online. It's normally "stacked" ; taken in conjunction with caffeine.
Theres lots of claims about heart attacks etc.. but it can be used safely and effectively.. if you're already at a normal weight and are just hoping to get more cut. This is NOT for overweight people and should not be used over long periods.
Other kinds of fat burning supplements are legal thermogenics can be effective as well .. and contain octopamine or synephrine labelled as bitter orange.. In effect these are the same as ephedrine but not illegal yet .. but the same precautions apply.
Most supplements don't work at all.. so theres no point. Green tea extract contains catechins and does work to an extent provided you diet is good and you do regular cardio..
Another product which does work "statically" is Conjugated linoleic acid called CLA, but this is particularly unsafe .. (more so than ephedrine in my opinion) because of the trans-10, cis-12 (t10c12)
isomer which manufacturers include in their formulations.
Acetyl-L-carnitine also has some positive effects... is generally very safe but not particularly effective

First make sure your diet is in check. If you have been following the same diet/training for a while it may be time to either up the cardio, switch the wo's, and/or drop a few calories.
ErgoGenix ErgoBurn is a great addition to a weight loss regiment. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ergogenix/ergo-burn.html It is an amazing appetite suppressant which not only does help to burn fat, but also gives great energy with NO crash!!!
Good luck :)

I've been working out too and healthy eating as well. But I've added razzbites as my fat burning supplement to help burn more fat. razzbites.com
