But, almost everyone looks and feels better when they've lost a few pounds, and unless the result is a really gaunt appearance, taking off a bit of weight usually im proves the appearance. Once you've set a goal for yourself, however, you might not know the right calorie count for achiev ing that goal. Here's a good formula that helps: Choose what weight you would like to be. Use weight tables from in surance companies to give you a reasonable idea of what a person of your height and frame size should be. If you like to look very fashionable, you might want to aim for a weight slightly below the standards. I f it is a matter of main taining the weight you are right now, the formula also works for staying at the same weight. If you weigh 130 and you like the way you feel and look, just multiply 130 by 15 to get 1950. That's the number of daily calories you should sustain to keep your weight as it is, if you are moderately ac tive. If you are very ac tive, you can add on 10 percent of this number to maintain your weight, or 1145 calories each day. If you are inactive, however, you must subtract 10 per cent of 130 pounds, 1755 calories per day. If 130 pounds is your goal, you simply subtract 500 calories per day from the daily maintenance figure, which in this case makes the number of dai ly calories 1450. At this rate, you will lose one pound a week, a sensible rate for permanent weight loss. If you want to speed up the weight loss rate a bit, you can subtract 1000 calories a day from the maintenance figure of 1950, to give you 950 calories a day for a weight loss . of two pounds a week. Of course, you should consult your doc tor to find out if that rapid weight loss plan is suitable and healthy for you. Activity makes a dif ference in your calorie count when you want to lose, of course,, so don’t forget to add 10 percent to the daily count if you're active, and sub tract 10 percent if you’re inactive. For anyone who likes to eat, stepping up your exercise program helps you diet by allowing you more daily calories without adding pounds. © 1981 McNaught Synd.

There's more to the term “flying off the handle" than you might think. The phrase implies the kind of trouble that would result, if an ax- head flew off its handle. One of the most popular window coverings today is mini-blinds. Similar to old-fashioned Venetians in the way they work, they are easy to clean because the slats don’t overlap much and they don’t have the wide tapes to accumulate grime. They come in a large selection of colors as well as aluminum and wood. Many a clever decorator has used these blinds in conjunction with curtains or draperies for the most marvelous effects. Window shades are stilj popular, but we said good bye to plain, boring white shades years ago in favor of bamboo, pleated fabric, balloon shades, string shades and lots of new solar shades to control the sun. Shutters are expensive, but they’re permanent and look stunning in the right setting. They can be lacquered or stained natural and the light can be controlled by the louvers. If you’re determined to use draperies, look into thermal drapes. They keep out the sun in sum mer and hold the heat in during cold months. If you have attractive windows and a lovely view, don’t bother with window treatments at all. © 1981 McNaught Synd. 434 2227 LADD W. HAMRICK FUEL SERVICE. INC.
