Lent lasts for forty days and unlike similar fasts last through the nights as well. Sundays are not counted in the forty days as each Sunday is seen as a celebration of the resurrection (like mini-Easters) anyway. Lent ends the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Good Friday is a fasting day anyway. Eastern churches start Lent on the Monday of the 7th week before Easter and end it on the Friday 9 days before Easter. Eastern churches call this period the 'Great Lent'.
