A member asked:

I sweat a lot but still i don't lose weight!!! is sweating a lot risky being fat??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No...but: may indicate deconditioning or underlying medical issues: see a physician and consult a personal trainer before undertaking further exertion. Perspiration is one of the ways the body will cool down during and after exercise; however, may be related to other issues.

I sweat a lot at nights in winter weather. The colder it is, the most I sweat. I have to wake up several times because I'm completely drenched, even if I'm just wearing underwear. I am very cold and I'm still sweating (no fever).
