Does anyone else sweat a TON?

I had people ask me at the gym how many miles I ran when I got off the treadmill. When I told them only 2 they looked at me like this: :noway:

My hair is dripping, my face is bright pink. The back of my shirt is completely drenched in sweat, so is the collar. My underarms are dry (must be the medical deodorant I used about 2 years ago, kinda killed my extreme underarm sweating), but I heard that the body always sweats the same and if you stop sweating on one body part another will sweat even more.

I shower when I'm done with my workout, so I just accepted the fact that I sweat more than others during my workout. I'm fine with it.

I just like to think of it as my fat crying! :laugh:

OMG! That's hilarious, and I'm totally going to use it tomorrow. I sweat like a pig. Some people do, and some people don't. Who cares??? If you don't want to sweat, then you won't be able to make the kinds of changes you're working toward. Get your sweat on!!!!

when i finish a run i take off my shirt and wring in out with my hands and create small pools that the local children will then come and play in. While i swear the Salt Lake in Utah was there long before i had ever visited, there are some among my friends who think it showed up after i spent a week in Utah and had gone for daily run's.

wringing out my socks is particularly impressive to some people.

i ride my bike to my gym 3 days a week (a block from my office, 24 miles from my house) and i drink a little less than 100 oz of water before i get there and shower to replace the fluids i have lost..

when i lived in DC there was a time when i had a half mile walk to the metro that then stopped at my office bldg, i had to change my shirt 4 out of 5 days during the summer upon arrival so i gave up on that and biked there since i was going to be sweaty anyway, just applied lots of deodorant.

men and women are very different in the sweat dept so i doubt we can help each other out much with info on this but my experience is that the amount of sweat has changed little if at all when i have been in good shape vs not so good shape.

the worst part is not the sweating for me but the post - sweat, it takes me forever to STOP sweating. if i workout at lunch time i need to budget a lot of cool down town which is a major hassle. cold showers, standing under the AC, ice pack on the neck, nothing seems to stop me from sweating once i have started.

If they had wet t-shirt contests at my gym... I'd win every time. I just accept it. I'm there to do work and if anybody has a problem with it, maybe they should work harder.

I am with this post ^^^^^

I used to be embarrassed by it but I have learned to embrace this burden! As for it getting better, I don't think it ever gets any better! My Zumba instructor has lost 80 pounds and is super tiny now and she still sweats a ton. By the end of the class her and I both are drenched head to toe!

I don't sweat as much while working out as I used to, after losing some weight and working out more often. I don't even need a towel for my short runs, although I do find it nice to have something to wipe the sweat off at the end. My clothes are usually pretty sweaty, but not nearly as much as they used to be. Also, I don't turn as bright red in the face so easily now either. However, if I run more than my usual mile warmup, then I'm a mess. But still better than it used to be.

I'm a pretty sweaty person (I change into jammies really early in the evening, mostly because I just can't stand my sweaty pits of the shirt anymore), thanks to a condition that makes my pores over-achievers. In addition, this condition also makes me break out in huge rashes and painfully deep cysts in reaction to most antiperspirants and all but a few detergents. Hurray. The new Secret one that's ph balanced works, which I'm so happy for, since before they developed that one I couldn't use anything.

Thank god it is not just me! I get it the worst between and under my boobs and on the small of my back. Attractive right?
I also turn bright red. Like really really red, in fact this happens not just working out but if I blush it isn't cute it looks like I am choking. What's weird is I rarely get too out of breath but my heart rate is insane. I think I am just abnormal.

i do

For sweat odor and for wetness, try this:

This stuff is amazing. You put it on only about once every few days. It's a miracle cure for underarms. Walgreen's carries it locally at many locations.

Yess! I always make sure i have a towel with me to wipe down the gym equiptment. My tops after a work out are drenched, but i try not to worry about it too much.

I've learned to accept it and not buy silk shirts.
Good part to all of it - I can easily threaten my roommate post work out with soggy hugs if he didn't do the dishes!

At the drop of a dime I sweat like when I'm nervous, after a workout,or cleaning. The other nite at football practice I thought to myself that it's nice out and oh lawd there I was sweating all behind my ears running down my neck I was so embrassed. This only started a couple of years ago. But the fun thing is when I workout my butt is the first thing that sweat so I be sure to wear cotton undies when I workout.

Oh yes... HELL yes! I sweat from places I didn't even know I could sweat from. I have to towel off my face, my chest, neck, shoulders, and hands between every set. I sweat so dang much that I could save a small African village from drought.

I think it's all weight related. I'm carrying about 120 lbs of extra weight, so it's like lifting and doing cardio in a sumo suit. Anyone would sweat under those circumstances. I'm not really self conscious about it, it just starts to get annoying when I'm not done with my workout and I'm just dying to crawl out of my disgusting, soaked clothes, already. I remember the first time I lost the weight (70 lbs that time, and got down to 168 lbs), my sweating got lighter and lighter. Unless you have any other underlying medical issues that cause you to sweat. I'm sure that as you lose weight it will lighten up.

I sweat a lot even if I don't workout- I have yet to find a deodorant that helps me... :indifferent:

Same here. And I always think I reek of B.O., but my husband can never smell it. So thankfully, I only gross myself out. (I think it's hormonal, I noticed it during my pregnancy with my son.) But yeah, I'm a sweater, especially my face. I'm very careful about wearing light colored shirts, because they always end up with pit stains, which is a bummer. Of course, dark colored shirts just show the big, wet, sweat spots, so there's no winning.

I feel your pain....i love clothes but am stuck wearing black 95% of the time b/c i sweat like crazy for absolutely no reason. If i could i would have gotten the botox thing years ago. To only sweat during exercise or because of hot weather like a normal person would be a dream come true.

TONS!!!! I always bring a towel with me to the gym. I even bring a change of clothes to go for a walk at lunch. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't matter how fit or thin I am. I just sweat a ton especially from my head. Luckily I don't have smelly sweat ....or so I have been told lol

I've noticed that as I lose weight, I don't sweat as easily when I'm not working out (I sweat less walking around, etc.) I'm guessing less fat means my average body temperature is regulated lower.

When I am working out though, I get pretty disgusting pretty fast. 30 mins cardio leaves me looking like I just took a shower in workout clothes. Even my hair is drenched.
