    This should be a sticky, and all the new folks should be directed here (and anyone needing reminders). So many people just have no idea where to start and everything is very confusing - these are great straighforward tips - and cover most of the areas people fall down on.

    Congratulations on your success for far - its epic.

    No one else noticed there are two no. 3? Making 8 in total?

    Great tips though for someone coming fresh into this :)

    Thank you so much for this. It is SO much more helpful to hear sane advice and encouragement rather than shaming and belittlement. I am so glad I found this place.

    I really need to start weighing things. I've never done that before, so i feels a little daunting, but I know that is the one thing I really need to start doing to be able to continue succeeding. Thanks for the reminder! :)
