I gave up red meat, which is my favorite. I realize now that might help me lose weight. What did you (Catholics) give up? Anything fitness or food related?

    it'll only help you lose weight if you aren't replacing it with another protein source, or replacing it with a lower calorie option thereby reducing your calories.

    We were just talking about this at work. I am doing soda. Even though I don't drink that much, when I do want it I WANT it.

    What is funny though is, anyone observing lent I talked to, the things they are giving up they have been OVERLOADING with this whole week leading up! lol. Have a friend who is giving up sweets and every day I saw her with candy, cakes, etc.

    I've always considered that, loose-ing weight, it would just fall off eventually anyway.
