What is everyone giving up for lent?

It starts tomorrow on March 9.

Right now I considering giving up sugar or bread, but I haven't decided yet. I gave up pop over four years ago for lent and I haven't drank any since. I really hope that I can stick it out this year!

GOOD LUCK TO THE REST OF YOU!

    I have no clue of what to give up for Lent. I have given up my vices with this Lifestyle change. I did start going back to church though.

    I'm actually giving up stepping on the scale for Lent. I step on it every morning and am one of those people who gets discouraged when I dont see change, or worse, when the numbers go up. So I will continue to eat well and exercise, but I will not step on the scale until Lent is over, and then see what sort of progress I make!

    You should probably give up bread unless your diet is totally clean. Sugar is almost everything, including bread.

    I'm giving up desserts. And for the person who is "giving up religion", I'll send some extra prayers.

    I'm giving up my time Sunday mornings and getting myself back to church. i know - that should be a given, but, I've gotten away from it. It's going to be a from now on thing, not just Lent. But, it's easy to talk myself out of it. I wish everyone strength during this time - I'll need it for sure. :happy:

    I like THIS. A lot of people on and off MFP have been making that comment this year and even though I'm not super super religious, it definitely rubs me the wrong way.
