When I go to the gym I usually walk two miles on the treadmill (35-40 mins) 15 minutes on the rowing machine , and also ride the stationary bike for 25 min, with some weights mixed in fr the upper body. I don;t sweat very much. It is really weird . I am exerting myself, I am breathing heavily , tired out when I am done and definitely feeling the exercise in my muscles, but I don't seem to sweat like others in the gym. My body shape and tone is really improving and I have lost 84 pounds since July 4th 2013. Is this as weird as I think it is?

Maybe, maybe not ... when you are in the middle of your workout, what is your heart rate? You can count the number of beats over 10 seconds, then multiply by 6. What is the value and what range is it in?

I have a friend who's husband never sweats. It has something to with his sweat glands. He was active and never had a problem. I would just be sure you hydrate and don't overheat.

I know I am truly exerting myself when during cardio exercise I can not carry on a conversation. If I am unable to speak without a lot of huffing and puffing that usually is a level where I know I am working hard.

Scarlet.... I wanted to tell you that I've been mixing up my elliptical workouts ever since I read one of your posts about how you switch things up. .... Bringing that cardio to a whole new level!

Thanks HealthyNewMe. I am glad you are finding it challenging. I find going backwards harder on the elliptical than going forwards and try to do 4 minutues backward and 6 minutes forward for every 10 minutes. Of course changing intensity. I think when you keep changing and conquering something it uses different muscles and keeps your body guessing so its not just muscle memory.

I've been having the same thing happen lately... working out intensely and only feeling dewy. When I was heavier, I sweat like crazy. But I know I should be drinking more Water in general.

Are you drinking enough Water during the day?

Usually around 70-80 ounces. I wonder if it's my medication.

I don't sweat a lot either. I have a very low heart rate so I have to get it up very high before I break a sweat. You can get a heart rate monitor to make sure you are in your target fat burning zone. Drink plenty of fluids and you should be fine. You're losing weight so you must be doing something right. Keep up the good work!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
