I finished with a total of 733 points. Hit some goals along the way - most importantly getting the new job. Didn't drop the fat like i would have hoped and so will move onto NROL Breakin then fat loss for this purpose.

This challenge was an excellent thing for me. My points overall don't reflect the great benefit this has been. I ended up with 453 points. The big downfall was in my personal goals area. I didn't meet the third one, so I am not taking any points in this area.
Exercise:
I could have got a few more resistance and interval workouts in. That said, I am happy with what I did accomplish. Much better progress in these areas than I've had in the past few months.
Nutrition:
I really worked at this one, and did "ok". It would have been nice to have better nutrition, but I believe I really did better because I was focused on the challenge.
Competitive Goal:
Did well here. Got in two events. A 5k race, and a sprint triathlon. Glad to have accomplished both.
Personal Goals:
Keep journal up to date - did well here. It was fun to do this.
Lose an inch in my waist -- I never actually measured at the start, but clothes are definitely looser on my, so I did well here.
Lose 10 pounds -- this is where I fell short. I ended up loosing 8.5 lbs, so because of this, I didn't take any points for the personal goals area.
This challenge was great in that it kept me inspired to keep at it, and it was a great way to share in others experiences through the whole challenge.
Congrats to everyone who competed in the challenge!

Actually, I can't imagine that reaching a final decision is an easy task. The questions were highly subjective and input may have spanned the entire spectrum.
I'm willing to wait until the powers that be are satisfied that they've done the best job they can.
The tension builds.........

just checking in, how's everyone been doing since the challenge? i got an email from Men's Health and they're having a deal right now with Men's Health Fit, there are a few exercises that supposedly determine just how fit you are by how many reps you can do, looks kinda fun, something to keep me from falling out of routine at least, plus, there's a chance to win an Ipod every day for 100 days

Per Newman's request here are the results of the JP Fitness 61 Day Challenge.
Thanks to everyone for participating. There have been ups and downs but hopefully the highs have exceeded the lows. He wants to offer everyone apologies for not getting this information out sooner. Winners and appropriate participants, please submit addresses, sizes, etc to jrnewman2@gmail.com. They will be sent out within the next month.
Overall: Ninja
Nutrition: Victoria
Fitness: Racer Bill
Most Improved: Space City Paula
Mahler Motivation Award: Egham.
Thank you all for being so patient. A new challenge should be started soon. Most people wanted a 1 month/ 4 week sort of deal. Another special thanks to JP for Hosting the forum, Roland for helping compile data and advising, Leigh and Jonathan for troubleshooting and advising, and again everyone who participated.
We'll be back in action soon.
