    There is a condition called hyperhydrosis meaning excess sweat. Anxiety can play a factor as well. I was certain both caused my excessive sweating for years and years. I used to carry a hankie everywhere I went mopping my face.

    60 pounds lighter I am amazed how much better it is! Almost "normal" I would say.

    Lucky!

    I'm almost 40 pounds lighter and my hyperhidrosis has remained about the same. My dermatologist has suggested Botox injections if the prescription antiperspirant doesn't work, but I don't want to deal with several needles. :#

    Heavy sweater here also. It's normal to sweat when you workout. It's genetic how much you sweat. After you workout make sure to be replacing those electrolites. Make sure you're getting a decent amount of potassium (banannas) and with the amount of processed food most people won't have an issue getting enough sodium back. Wash/soak your workout clothes soon afterwards too. Sweat can be rather caustic to most things and you can end up wearing through clothing quickly if you let them sit in your hamper damp.
