  1. What was the totaly number of Achievements you earned?

    You and your sister seem to have come up with an effective solution. What would you do to drop weight if you did it again? And what is the unit of weight when you say it weighed "75"?

    See what you can do to get your sketches to display up and down (they're sideways right now).

    Thanks!
