lol Hi everyone!
Just wanted to see If anyone was participating in lent. I am not a practicing catholic but I love participating in this time period. Always feel like it's a healthy way to challenge yourself and maybe hopefully get rid of a bad habit.
This year I've decided on sugar and fast food. My wife is getting rid of carbs. ( by day three we should both be lovely to be around

Hiya! I am a practicing Catholic who looks forward to Lent! I would love to have a buddy going through similar goals as mine. Last year, I started juicing (used the fat, sick & nearly dead guys juice) & was working out at the gym more days than not. It worked great! I lost about 50 or more pounds! I had to stop going shortly after Lent & have been unable to get back & put most of my weight back on after having shingles during the summer . So, this year, I got a Vivosmart & have been walking almost nonstop. Hopefully my message isn't too long & boring. Just needing to chat with someone going through the daily grind like me0

I am a practicing catholic as well. I considered setting an exercise goal, but I think that would be to my benefit more than anything and probably wouldn't be enough of a "sacrifice." I'm debating on not eating out or no shopping beyond basic necessities.0

I am Methodist and we also Celebrate Lent. I am struggling with what exactly to give up. I know I need to give up complaining and excuses. So..., I guess that is it.0

Part of let is about adding something. Instead of letting something go, maybe add something that is a bit of a sacrifice.0

Me, I do it every year0

Congratulations on the loss! The sugar for me is hard because I am a soda addict...the occasional candy bar doesn't help. Lol0 -
I am a Baptist Christian, and I have observed Lent for probably 7 years. The food part is really not my focus. But, this year I'm giving up fast food, designer coffees and soda. I am participating in meatless and sugarless Ash Wednesday and meatless Fridays. My prayer focus is the sexualization of female youth.0

Hi. This year I am trying to observe the orthodox rules on fasting. I would really appreciate a buddy to keep me right on this!0

Hi everone, bit late joining in but I'm doing a fast during Lent (started Ash Wed in Feb)
I'm a Methodist and progressive Christian. This year I'm doing a Ramadan-style fast between sunrise & sunset (checking those times daily!). But I am allowing myself other sensible drinks during the day. I then have a sensible evening meal and don't fast on Sundays.
It's giving me a different perspective on food - breaking the grazing habit! I'm also losing a little weight, but that's not my primary concern.0 -
Participating and i am a Christian. Gave up block cheese with my wine...0
