    I do too, and I have rosacea so sometimes end up beet-red into the bargain. But I figure there is absolutely no point in caring. As long as I don't smell :) that's where I draw the line.

    If you aren't sweating then you're either daintily lady-like (not me!!) or you're not working hard enough!

    ditto :( and totally agree!

    Was in the gym the other night. Two young girls beautifully made up then proceeded to go for a swim, not getting their heads underwater once. Then they went for a sauna (I think).

    In the changing rooms afterwards the fatter one was talking about getting a Mars Bars from the fridge in reception.

    Nice to look at. Thick as two short planks.

    I met up with a friend to go running yesterday then drove home and had to stop for petrol on the way. When I got home and went for a shower I had to giggle at the sight of myself in the bathroom mirror, hair like a scarecrow, bright red face etc. I just hope the person who served me in the petrol station noticed I had running tights and trainers on!!!

    You go for it and just think how much good its doing you.

    Hello,
    I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and work hard, however this also means i sweat...ALOT! I have never been overly concious of this, but of late have noticed a few funny looks.

    Is it off putting to other gym users to see this?

    I must add I am scrupulous about cleaning the machines before and after use and head straight for the showers post workout ;-)

    Certainly wouldn't bother me, although I did use a machine next to a man the other day who shook his head like a dog and put sweat all over me yuck!

    I would probably be a bit envious, I don't really sweat at all and can't help but make the connection that those who are really sweating are working much harder than me eve nthough its probably (:o) not true.

    Good for you, if they aren't sweaty they are wasting their time.

    I go beetroot red at the slightest exertion, always have done even as a fit and skinny little kid, I get stared at a lot! I just ignore it now.

    I get that too, I was told it was some kind of skin allergy, I get it when I drink alcohol sometimes as well.

    I have to say though to all those slagging off people who DONT sweat, you need to consider that not everyone is a great sweater, I work really hard in the gym and rarely get more than a glow on my face! I don't even use deodorant in the winter unless I'm in the gym, just don't need it.

    I used to go swimming quite a bit and my own pet hate is when women go in the pool without showering first so the pool is full of their perfume :mad:
