    Izoard- I'll give up sticking my head into the goodie-press and stealing the kids treats
    T runner - Sugar (added sugar to tea, coffee, cereals etc.)

    RubyK - I think I'll give up buying magazines for Lent.redface.gif
    meathcountysec - I'll give up sticking my head into the goodie-press i.e. no more crisps, biccies, choccie etc. tongue.gif
    pgibbo - Sweets, chocolate bars and crisps are what I give up for lent.
    TFBubendorfer - Sugar it is. No chocolate, sweets, sugar in coffee and so on. Gels for long runs are the exception
    shotgunmcos - Biscuits (my biggest vice) and the snooze button. Considering a just dunked an entire pack of dark choc hob nobs into a cup of tea and hit the snooze button at least 6 times each morning (5min snoozes) - its going to be a loonng 40 days frown.gif
    tisnotover - sweets, choc bars and crisps
    Littlebug- crisps (the devils food)
    luvlylady - chocolate, white bread & pasta (except wholemeal).
    MitreSize5 - chocolate, I need to break the bar a night routine thats been going on all my life. recently got my cholesterol tested and it 5.8!! Doctor reckons its all down to the Galaxy's
    ULstudent - limit coffee to 2 cups a day, stay off the peanut butter: i go through, on average, a 1kg tub of meridian natural peanut butter a week! Not one flapjack either will pass my lips.
    BrokenMan - Chocolate Bars and Crisps
    RacoonQueen - Chocolate(creme eggs :( ) and fizzy drinks except the day of/after the Barcelona marathon if I deserve the treat. :
    menoscemo Crisps, I go through about 15 packets a week and I doubt they give me anything good back
    another world Chocolate. It´s going to be tough, I eat at least a bar a day
    Blueskye Chocolate. Although I don't know if I'll even survive 24 hours as I have a serious addiction!! But I'll give it a try.

    On refection, I realise my choice of giving up mags, was a bit lame! So I've changed it to salt. I use way to much of the stuff. I'll also cut out my beloved cheese & onion crisps! Jebas, I'm going to be miserable for lent!

    THE RULES

    Good to see lots of people giving this a go and clear that we all more or less think alike. Its simple, you have to have your pledge up by tomorrow night. NO ADDITIONS on Wednesday or thereafter!! The list remains as is, simple.. no colours or numbers or tables etc... Everything stays up as pledged.

    Rule 1. You break -it even once- or 'kinda' or -'I was held down and forced to eat the chocolate by crazy monks'-you are out! You must highlight your pledge in red and strikthrough. You cannot delete it! Be honest now.... :)


    Feic it... there is only one rule that matters!


    I don't know how I'm going to go a whole month without touching the snooze button, or drink my tea alone in the evening.... but then the light at the end of the tunnel... weight loss, better energy, training pbs, money saved, better sleep... not seeing my name in strikethrough red for the next 6 weeks!!! Just so everyone know, I'm not ashamed to admit that I've tried and failed every single year so far :o

    Oh... forgot to add... if you break it.. a detailed valid excuse would be nice!

    I'm opposed to rule 2. I want the option to take the piss out of anyone who fails, and equally if I fail I deserve to be treated mercilessly by everybody else.
