Tweetsenkizer,
IMHO, excelent job. Let's see you gained 16 lbs you didn't have before, sounds like you did good research and had a safe plan you followed, smart move using low dose, now you have a baseline and results for the future, and you're smart enough to know diet plays a huge role and are honest enough with yourself to evaluate that issue properly.
Great part doesn't sound like you got any sides, that's huge.
Overall, excellent. Job well done.
Hoped That Helped
Good Luck
