This is a me overhaul

Hi there, yesterday I completed week 1 session 2 and I am really loving it. I thought I would come and say hi to you all. It took me ages to work up the courage to do this app, it had been on my phone for a loooong time. However I am now loving it, I have been swimming for 3/4 weeks now and was starting to need something else. I gave up smoking 36 days ago and found replacing it with exercise is just amazing :)) I need like minded friends to help me along the way :)
