The pre-recorded video presentation provided to participants within all conditions, will introduce participants to study information and basic concepts of weight loss including psycho-education.

The diameter, heartwood content and a* colour, basic density, and the weight loss with fungal decay testing, of the coast redwood samples obtained from Kinleith, Mangatu, and Rotoehu Forests were compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the SAS Proc GLM (Version 9.1, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, North Carolina) and the model: y ij = μ + f i + t j i + e ij (2).
The sources of variation for the diameter, heartwood content and a* colour, basic density, and heartwood weight loss with fungal decay testing were analysed using the Proc Mixed function of SAS software (Littell et al. [1996]) with the model in Equation 2.
