After reviewing the results it was easiest and most fair to combine the improvements in the workout and changes in body composition. It turned out that the folks with the biggest improvements in body composition also had the best improvements in the workout which shouldn’t surprise anyone. Diego, Arlen, Wayne and Eric L. also deserve congrats for losing 15 or more pounds since they started at EmerFit even though it wasn’t all during the Zone Challenge.
The Halloween party was great and a big thanks to all of you that made it! I apologize for not having the Zone Challenges results tallied in time for the party. The timing just did not work and we will improve that next time. We are thinking about doing our next Zone challenge starting in the middle of January 2009.
Here is a Google spreadsheet with everyone’s times and performance improvements.

Chris,
sorry for the late post. Just want to congratulate all who participated, nutrition discipline is always harder than the physical discipline of showing up and completeing a WOD.
Since commiting to the program 3-5 days a week starting in mid-March, I have lost approximatly 25 pounds. My cholestral levels have dropped 55 points and my triglycerides have droped over 360 points. I have only started watching my blood numbers for the last 3 years. This is the first time in those three years that my levels are normal, or healthy. I attribute the improvement to the program and the coaching at Emerfit, and the atmosphere of support at the gym. The program kicks ass, and Emerfit rocks.
Eric
Eric,
Thanks for sharing your comments and for your feedback on EmerFit. Your story excites me because it took me 5 years to accomplish what you have done in just over 6 months. It took me so long because I did not have a coach or a community of fit people to inspire me so I was left figuring things out by trial and error.
Helping people accomplish their goals faster and easier that I did is one of my passions.
BTW, I think the caption for the post should be, “Real men of Genius.” Mr. Shirtless Crossfit workout guys (just like the lame beer commercials.)
