approximately every 3500 calories you consume OVER your daily resting rate, will cause you to GAIN 1 pound. And, every 3500 UNDER that you consume, you will LOSE 1 pound.
To figure your daily resting rate, multiply your weight by your corresponding lifestyle #:
Sedentary (office job, sitting, no exercise) --12
Moderate (housewife, cleaning, chasing babies, daily walking)--14
Athletic (heavy work,daily weight training, etc.)--16
Example: I weigh 225
multiplied by 12
my rate is 2700

Well first off you have to understand the difference between a calorie and weight. A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy whereas weight is a force that results from the action of gravity. To convert the two will require some dimensional analysis. To make it easier for you, to lose just ONE pound, you'll have to burn off about 3500 calories (which is not taking in consideration anything you eat or drink). Hope that helps.

The simple answer is: 3500 kilocalories is equal to one pound. The longer answer is: you should concentrate less on the numbers on the machine and just make sure you are raising your heart rate for at least 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week.

one pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. However, you usually eat more if you exercise, so that will take away from that

Weigh yourself. Calories don't equal pounds.
