The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

I'm just waiting for people to start jogging each morning, not with ipods, but with civ3 and civ4 installed on laptop computers...Comment

Before I was married, playing Civ and losing weight wasn't a problem. I did the old "just one more turn" so much that I was skipping meals.

Interesting that I also have been playing civ longer than I have been married. :geeK:
Recently, my wife suggested that we purchase a workout machine. I told her that we should setup a PC near the machine to check "the news and stuff".
Haven't been here for ages....Comment

Just take it easy though...I have worked out for years and I can tell you that a little excercise goes a long way. Too many people get on the treadmill and try to bust it up, sweating profusely, etc. You probably already know this--that you don't have to run hard to do a lot of good--just a nice brisk walk does wonders for your health.Originally posted by Iron Giant
I keep a 32 oz. jug of water (with a small splash of juice added) next to the treadmill on a shelf as I work out. I go through 32 oz per hour. Without the water, I fall apart after 20 minutes.
Playing Civ while working out though...that's great. Why didn't I ever think of that? But then again, if you lift weights, it's a little more difficult to play Civ, 'cause you are using your hands to hold weights.Let Them Eat CakeComment

How to really make this work: have, instead of a treadmill, a bicycle machine, and use it as the power source for your computer. If you slack off, you lose your game

This indeed is not as crazy as it may look at the first glance. I, too, usually slowly lose weight if immersed in a game (not necessarily Civ all the time). Skipping meals and hardly ever "visiting" our fridge does marvels...Comment

It may cause you to lose weight, but it is very unhealthy to do it that way. You're much better off eating healthy (this does not necessarily mean eating a lot less) and exercising.Comment

This is truth indeed. But I manage to lost 13% of my weight doing this. But it´s like kind of a eating reeducation i think, now i´m much more satisfied with much more less.
Before: 84 Kg
now: 73 Kg
and losing more... way to 65!!!

Actually, I am best off eating only when hungry... which is exactly what happens when I am playing games...Originally posted by Sabre2th

I project being able to lose even more weight after Civ 4 is out.
