Newbie (previously baron100)

Good Morning All! (or afternoon for most of you...)

I signed up with CC last week with the name baron100.  I have just changed my login name to seashel.  I didn't realize when I started my account that there were forums and that people would be seeing my name, so I wanted it to be something meaningful and current.  SeaShel is my boat's name (named after me - Shelley - our current project - see pic)---Baron, btw is my dearly departed german shepherd's name (never thought I could love a dog like I did my Baron) ---and as you can see when you scroll over my name, Captain Duke is my current baby (i.e. mini schnauzer).  I can't have kids (physically unable) so please bear (or bare?) with me if I talk about Duke as if he were my child...

Anyway, just wanted to formally introduce myself, say HI and Thanks for having me!  I will be 40 in 10 days and I am trying to drop 80 lbs over the next year.  I will be quitting smoking at 40 years + 1 day.  I am happy to say that I am down 2.5 so far (last week) to 187.5.  I love the site, the tools, and the community.  Feel free to check out my profile/journal.  Best of luck to all of you!

Hey there, welcome :) I just lost my German Shepherd too, recently :s  They are very good dogs :)  We'll eventually get another one someday. I love it here too and it's helped me to lose over 30 lbs since I joined.  So far I've lost 52 pounds :) 

I hope you reach your goal.  Taking it nice and slow is a good way to go.

I am glad to hear that you are quitting smoking, I hope it goes well, it is extremely hard to do, that's why I never started in the first place :p

As for screen names, mine's kind of silly, it's from a cartoon character that I like :p  Oh, well.

Hi Seashel, Welcome to CC.

I'm sorry about your loss, I love my dog and dread the day that happens.

I need to quit smoking too.

Hi Seashel! Happy to welcome you onto CC.

Good luck on your goals!!

Welcome to CC Seashel!

That boat needs some love

as your name suggests...you are a funny man...lol

that's when we pulled her in april...she actually looks much nicer now on the outside, now concentrating on the inside.  I will try to get a more current pic up soon.
