Since I started my vitamin regimen, my hair is growing more and so it the rest of me. Is there anyone out there who has had this problem? The only thing I can attribute it to is the vitamins. I've gained 10lbs. since I started taking vitamins back in March. This is very unusual for me. I've been a stick all my life and at first I didn't worry about it but now it seems every time I get on the scale I've put on more weight. I work out but my clothing just keep getting tighter.

Does anyone think the vitamins are playing a role in this? Anyone had a similar experience? I love the vitamin effect on my hair

vitamin B, especially the complex helps your body cells to optimally utilise energy so you eat more and gain more weight as a result. some ladies here have reported increased appetite with vitamin b complex. if you take a multivitamin that may be the case as they contain b complex
 
Yep; I've definitely noticed an increase in appetite since I've started with the Biotin and B5. I hate that. I would like to lose 5 lbs. and I'm finding it impossible to do, even with my workouts 3-4 times a week. I'm thinking about discontinuing the vits for a while...
 
I've gained 10 lbs also. I haven't been going to the gym like I should though. Diamondlady are we twins(LOL)? All my life I've been skinny, they used to call me anorexic annie. Since I've been taking vitamins, I have to watch what I eat, and work out.
 
Same here. I even made a post about weight gain some months ago.

I think I'm going to ditch the biotin & B vits once I reach my goal. I'll just continue with the One-A-Day Weight Smart and pray I don't gain another pound.
 
Crysdon,
How is the One-A-Day Weight Smart? Isn't that supposed to speed up your metabolism? Maybe I should try that.
 
Hey Lindy,

So far, so good. I just started it about 2 weeks ago. It gives me a lot more energy, but the b vits make me have a larger appetite, so they could be cancelling each other out. I dunno. I'll have to give you an update later because it's too soon to tell.
 
I have gained 2 lbs in 2 months, which is a plus for me. I'm 5'6 and weigh 128 lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed (short of being pregnant) and I am lovin it!!!

I just wonder if I will be able to stop gaining weight when I want to, I am a little concerned about that (cus I will be 40 in Jan, and I heard metabolism slows down then) Anyways my mom is 62, 5"11 and weighs 140 and so does my dad, so we'll see. But for now I'm lovin it!!!

yes, several of us have posted about it. I have actually gotten on the scale and weighed 10 lbs more. I take the vitamins now, sporadically, because I am lazy and I hope this stops the weight gain. I, however, do exercise as well.
 
I don't think I take B12. I think other ingredients in the Hair Vitamins may slow down the process.
