I can't think of anything I'd voluntarily give up.

I ain't giving up shit!
I was a JW for 30+ years! I've given up enough shit to cover a lifetime of Lents!

My wife started a tradition of "secular lent" where we all give up something with the goal of improving our lives in some way (so it's completely NON-religious). So the fact it's Lent is just convenience, as we could have done this any time...
Anyway, my wife is giving up sugar (reasonably speaking) and I'm giving up beer. Both are quite difficult (I like beer), but not impossible, but that's the point. Both are empty calories, and when combined with our workout routines it will mean better health, and we will feel better.
I gave up beer for about 2 months last year with an improved workout, and lost 20 pounds in 2 months (and I'm not even overweight) so I hope I can do the same this time. Wish me luck!

I'm working on giving up sodas. I only drink diet but lately I've been working on giving up those too. I slip every once in a while but I don't drink as much of them as I used to.
