How do I get rid of this?

19 years ago

I call it the dreaded "cheese roll" because it seems more prominate in the Midwest. It's the fat roll that is above your waist and below your breasts. I marvel at women that don't have it! It seems thin women can have it as well has heavier women. I think heredity has something to do with it but has anyone ever been successful of getting rid of it?

My whole abdominal region is my worst area. I've tried many different exercise tapes and the one that I am finding is the most effective is called Great Abs Guaranteed. You can find it on www.beachbody.com It's a very short tape but if you do it consistently, you will see the difference!

And of course everyone needs regular aerobic activity. Although it doesn't target specific areas, it's the best at getting rid of excess fat overall.

I have ants on the plants in my garden...how do I get rid of them
Q

There are many ways to get rid of fire ants. You can use a mixture of sugar and borax. Pour the mixture around the ant hills, and the ants will carry it inside the colony, killing it off. Another solution is the sugar substitute, Equal or Nutri-Sweet. These have been known to be poisonous to ants. Just pour it around the hill and you will see little any bodies laying around in a couple days. Like the others have said, if it's garden ants let them be - unless it's a huge infestation.

What kind of beetle? And how do I get rid of them?
Q
Comments (12)
I saw one in my Perle D’or and according to the insect app it’s the oriental beetle (not the Japanese beetle) ...I usually let beetles be in the garden but this time I didn’t want to risk to have another pest on roses. I found another today on the Havana Blues geranium...same fate, cup of soapy water ah well. See if yours it’s a match to the pdf description, google images too. http://cues.cfans.umn.edu/old/Web/247OrientalBeetle.pdf

What are these bugs and how do I get rid of them?
Q

I would recommend doing the bucket trick, as mentioned above. It should drown the bugs or cause them to get out of the pot. Leave the pot in for at least 1/2 hr or longer to make sure you drown the bugs. Then, remove all the media from the plant. Wash the plant down, repot in new clean media. You should repot every spring but could do so now without damaging any live roots. Take care of healthy roots, try to repot without damage. You didn't mention the type of orchid. But, since this plant has to be inside, best to treat it now, repot it, leave it outdoors in a shady spot. When fall starts, you can move the plant back indoors. Jane

my mom's got it in spades- in her case, I think it's from years of training that wasp-waist of hers and getting fat over that framework...

I never had her waist line (but then mom's 5'2, I'm 5'7, she was 105 in her prime and 140 now- I was 140 at puberty, 160 in my prime, and a good 40 pounds over that now) but even now, I have a belly, but not that roll.

part of it is that so many women wear clothes that pinch right at the waise, and make what should be a small nuisance into a nasty-looking mess-

I have a friend who's half my weight and size... she's a ten who squeezes herself into 8's, I'm a 16 who wears my bottoms loose enough that that there's no pinch at my waist.

but I've found that hours at a desk, or in a car, tend to be a common thread with women with this roll...and it's something that I try and avoid, to the extent that I bike- commute 3 days a week, and keep pilates rubber bands at my desk to help me stretch...

pilates has the best exercises for working on the muscles underneath, though. by far. second... and I hate to admit owning one, is that 'twist' thing- the lazy susan you stand on and do the twist.

because I don't have room int he house for a hoola hoop- and I might do staff work in the back yard- but I'm not going to treat the neighbors to me playing with the hoola hoop !

they already thing I'm zany ;)

I am finally getting rid of it through portion-control (Weight Watchers) and exercise - EVERY day for at least 30 minutes. I never had this problem before...but I swear when I turned 40, it just appeared! And then kept growing! I am back down to a size 6 and plan to stay that way, but I know I need to always be aware of how much I eat and that exercise happens daily.
