    Gave up alcohol because it was really the only regular indulgence I had left lol. I wasn't eating enough chocolate or noodles or other luxury foods that giving them up would have been much of a sacrifice, but I do enjoy my evening glass of wine.

    I've given up pop ("soda") for Lent. My mom had success (lost 6lbs!) by just not drinking pop. Ive done this before, but haven't had such luck, hopefully it motivates me though....

    Im on the straight and narrow as it is. If I give up something, its for more than 40 days. If I give it up for 40 days, then why not more? Well, the things I gave up already are bad.

    Soda. I'm addicted and it's a waste of calories.

    I'm doing the traditional Orthodox Lent - give up all animal products. Orthodox Lent started on Monday, so I've been vegan since then. I was a bit dizzy on Friday, so I got some Edemame for protein. Now I feel great!
