Let's say I take about 200 mg of these pills daily, does anyone know if this will have an affect on my appearance? I want something that will keep my butt's fat the same basically, and my butt is nice as is. I am losing weight though, and if I lose more weight my butt will decrease in size, which I really do not want (it's probably my favorite body part since it's kind of big even for a guy). So basically maintain that fat region...
Or it's just to weak to do anything, and I would have to consume upwards of 1000 mg, or more.

I don't believe that this supplement has ever been clinically shown to have any efficacy. In fact, the FDA has recently issued warning letters to several manufactures of the product because of their over inflated claims (see the first two links):

I would agree with the others that it's a waste of your money.

After reading those FDA letters all I can do is wonder about the imagination of the marketing departments of those companies. ;)
I will confess, though, that I'm taking soy isoflavones in the form of tablets marketed for menopausal women. It's something of a test, really, and not the main thing I'm using.
For some background, a couple of years ago I started with finasteride, initially for hair loss. Pretty soon I was happy to notice that I also got some of the listed 'side' effects, such as a little breast growth (to the extent that nowadays it generally feels better to wear a 36A bra than not) and a notable reduction of unwanted erections. Yay! I've since had my physician change the prescription to dutasteride, and for the most part am happy with the results.
At the moment I'm conducting a small and not all that rigorously designed test series of supplementing the DHT blockers with soy isoflavones (just the dosage suggested on the box, which isn't near the amounts mentioned in previous posts). I just resumed the pills after a break of about two weeks, and it does seem that with those I'm less irritable, sleep better and have a little more interest in sex. That's about as far as it goes, though, and a part of it may be because of the vitamins in those pills instead of the isoflavones. Still, it does point in the direction that my head might work better with the addition of oestrogen or its relatives, so perhaps it's getting time to see someone about the real thing...

Soya is a potent neuro-toxin and should be avoided at all times.
