    I sweat like a freaking pig when I workout... no matter what I do.

    When I run, I'm literally dripping buckets.. and when I lift weights it's even worse.

    My suggestion is to find some really good moisture wicking clothing.. it will make all the difference!

    I was talking to my mom about a similar problem- it seems like all of a sudden, I'm peeing all the time!! She said that initially, when you start to work out your muscles retain water, but that after a while, it releases that water. It could just be that you're at the point where your muscles are releasing that water and you're excreting it in the form of sweat. It could also be that you're just really really hot when you work out. Are you doing your workouts outside, or in an air conditioned space?

    I take a zumba class outdoors, but it's hot and humid and always have to use the bathroom at least twice during the class. That and I feel like I sweat all over my body!

    The other day I went to the doctor right after zumba class and sat on the the table with paper over it. I got up and there was a big wet mark all over it. I tore if off and threw it away, how embarrassing!

    I suppose I am very hot when I work out (do get hot fast, face gets super red), and must have tons of water in my body.

    sweat is the new black. i'm sweating just reading this post about you sweating. i'm sweaty mcsweatington.

    ^^^ THIS

    My headband only keeps my bangs from transporting the sweat directly into my eyes --- and (swear to God) after a heavy spin class, I can actually ring it out. I've stopped wearing shorts that show too much sweat, cuz that's just yukky - let's face facts. But I am seriously considering taking my shirt (a day I wear a gray one) and snapping a picture of it, front & back, just so I can show people. LMAO (or should I say LMSAO?)

    My face still turns red, though - and always will. People have finally stopped asking if I'm ok... apparently, I look like I may just DFO right there in the middle of the gym.

    OMG! You sound like me. I now wear black all the time as everything else shows the wet marks. It's as if I fell in a river while working out. My hair looks like I just took a shower and my face is super red. I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!

    When I first started working out I never sweat, my face just turned beat red. Now I don't turn that red anymore, but I sweat like a beast. It's unbelieveable how I changed. Now I call a good workout my "wet towel workouts"

    You are so fit! I'm 20 pounds overweight and I thought maybe it was because I had more too loose. I swear nobody else sweats as much as I do during zumba. There are heavier women in there too and they are as cool as a cucumber. :=(
