I was looking over your profile and it seems we could be a match:
I'm 5'9.5", and started at 173, and I'm 21 (I'm figuring that you're younger b/c you mentioned your dad, but I could be well off). Well, we have quite a few similarities...I would love to help if I can. I looked into the Stillman's thing and that's where you eat only meats (well basically only meats) right? I'm on atkins, with not complaints. Let me know and we can talk
