new member introduction

Hi My name is Riki Te Whiu. Im 56 yrs old and live in Gisborne, New Zealand. i have a wife( Karen)and a son(Joel).
I have worked in the forest industry since i was 16 yrs old. i currently operate heavy machinery in a logging operation located 45min north of gisborne. i leave home at 5.00am every morning and home each night at 5.00pm. i am absolutely burned out by the time i get home so i pretty much just have tea, catch up with my wifes day at work and hit the sack ready for the next days work. i weighed myself the other day and was shocked with what i saw. so my goal is to lose weight this year. this will mean some serious thinking and plannig and overall commitment to what i have to achieve so thats why i am here "To lose weight" & change my life style. this will mean sacrificing fast foods for healthy foods, change sitting 8 hrs a day on my job, cut back on those overtime hours at work and exercise more starting off this week with some evening walks instead of sitting on the couch each night. for me this is a huge change so i hope i can make the change.
