Yes please!
I challenge myself to lose a stone (14lbs) during Lent.

Good luck and thanks for starting this.

Well, here goes. I will give up desserts/sweets: pie, cookies, ice cream, doughnuts etc. I have been wanting to do this for a long time because sweets use up so many ww pts. Thanks for the challenge.

chocolate. 40 days chocolate-free, here i come

I am going to give up pop... Only because I am an addict.

I am also going to give up coke. No more sodas for me

My religion does not require me to give up anything for lent, but I had decided that I would vow to go to every Lenten service for the next 7 weeks. That would be 7 Wednesday services, 7 Sunday services, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. (16 Church services in 7 weeks) As far as giving things up, heck, in the last year I have given up junk food, cigarettes and alcohol, so really giving up a vice is not really an option, since I have none left But since Christmas I have gone over my daily calories 5 different times and my progress has really reflected that. Gosh, for this challenge could a person vow to stay on plan 100% during lent instead of giving up one thing?

I honestly can't thing of any "items" to give up. I already gave up regular coke and plenty of sweets.

I do challenge myself to lose 10 lbs for lent though.

I think I will give up NOT exercising. There are sometimes I simply don't feel like exercising and I don't think that's an excuse. I challenge myself to stay OP with exercising for lent.

lori--congrats on your progress! i'm with you. instead of giving something up i am committing to staying on plan. for me this means the gym. every. single. day. no excuses!

so, i guess you could say i'm giving up laziness and excuse making for lent!

good luck everyone--we can do it!

thanks for the idea jasonslea!

How's it going?
I'm 60% through Lent Day One and sticking to plan so far!

Ok, normally, I give up something that is rather easy for me, like chocolate or cookies. However, this year, I will give up alcohol. I drink all the time with colleagues and friends. In Japan, it is the thing to do. However, I am giving it up. I love the lord and my body and can give it up. I AM ALL IN!!!
