    I sweat loads! Hair dripping, streams running down my back, chest, legs, etc. Not everywhere all the time, but I definitely sweat a lot. I sweat so much with little physical activity that I hate having to walk anywhere where I am expected to look decent when I show up. Like when I used to walk to class in college I would walk really slow to avoid sweating so I didn't have to sit around in my own sweat and B.O. for the rest of the day, not to mention what it would do to those around me! The dry air (and its ability to dry up sweat) is part of the reason I love living in California! :-)

    I sweat like crazy, too! I love it! Makes me feel like I've accomplished something! Not to mention... really cools me down on my runs, and I really welcome it on those hot, humid days! FYI: Spent $15 on a sweatyband, and it really helps keep the sweat off my forehead and out of my eyes... Yeah, that burns a little.

    I, too, turn red as a lobster... Ugh! That's more embarrassing than any amount of sweat! I'm fine, really... Quit staring! Gah!

    Anybody else have salt recrystalize after cooling down? Am I just THAT weird?! Especially, on my face...

    My whole life I've had overactive sweat glands. My biggest problem area are my inner thighs. I remember being so embarrassed in school because if I would sit for too long on any of those plastic or metal chairs, when I'd get up there'd be an imprint of where I'd been sitting and you can be sure some who saw were cruel about it. I also used to chafe like crazy because of it, but must have built up a resistance :laugh: Heck, I even had a fellow intern several years back randomly and awkwardly ask, "You must sweat a lot down there huh?" So when I work out my sweat starts there and makes me feel like I've peed my pants or something even if I only work out for 5-10 minutes.

    My other problem areas are my hair line, chest (especially under boobage lol) and armpits. I guess those are pretty average areas though. But if I work out for more than 20 minutes, the sweat just starts pouring from EVERYWHERE. Back, face, shoulders, neck, legs, feet, you name it.

    I don't sweat at all. No matter what. Even when it's burning hot outside... nothing. It does kind of suck since that's the bodies way of cooling you down... but nothing. Never have :(

    I sweat so much that my friends are too embarrassed to go to the gym with me. i soak through all my clothes, including my crotch all the way over to my bum, i tried wearing a certain kind of underwear to help stop from soaking through, no luck i just sweat right through that as well. I'll never forget the day my friend looked down at my crotch and his eyes bulged out of his head and he whispered to me with shame and embarrassment and said "stephanie!! I TOLD YOU TO WEAR UNDERWEAR!!" i start laughing and say "I DID!" i walk around with two towels because one isn't enough. i always try to be as courteous to others as i possibly can but i do feel sorry when people walk up and start using the machines next to me, i need sign that says "caution! you may get wet" i wish i took a pic of me last night, i might of had two 2" dry spots on my shorts but thats it. everything was drenched. no matter what, i'm ALWAYS the sweatiest person in the gym. i wish i was exaggerating but i'm not. i've always had hyperactive sweat glands.

    grunt like a man
    swear like a man
    sweat like a man

    i cannot help it.

    .s.

    YES I WIPE DOWN EVERY MACHINE AFTER I USE THEM INCLUDING BENCHES AND WEIGHTS!

    I sweat so much that I have it dripping off my eyelashes and then down my chin. I have the clothes that wick away the sweat (which is a whole nother topic because I can't get the stink out of them). I can remember my dad sweating buckets when he would be out in the sun.

    My guess is someone found the original comment offensive and reported it, though I had no intention of it being offensive at all. The mod/admin who edited it instead of deleting it changed the meaning without my permission.

    I turn into a human rainstorm. It doesn't drip off so much as collects on my body, and then I leave puddles of it everywhere else. In fact, it's sort of how I tracked my weightloss, by watching size of my sweaty *kitten* prints decrease.

    I don't sweat, I glisten.

    Seriously though I can sweat pretty hard and be completely drenched.

    It's weird. I really don't sweat. Sometimes my forehead is damp after I run a mile.

    Not that much even for my longer walks, but more when doing resistance training. I take sage for memory/cognitive, though, and sage reduces perspiration.

    I've heard of glisten...but sparkle? *snorts*

    And I sweat..a lot. I'm okay with it because I'm busting my butt and proud that I'm drenched :D
