I read that in order for me personally to lose weight faster that I needed to burn at least 600 calories in an hour. What does that mean exactly? How many ounces or pounds of fat is that?

Calories is a measure of energy. 1 Calories (capital C) is equal to 1 kilocalorie or 1000 calories (little c). Calories is food come from carbohydrate and protien 4 Calories/gram and from fat 9 Calories per gram.
As far a burning 600 Calories in a hour, good luck. You would need to be in exceptional physical condition to burn that kind of energy.

Calories are energy units that your body either burns or stores as fat.

energy are a sort of power. There are around 4 energy in a joule of power. although, the energy that we consume (aka the energy we use on nutrition labels) are no longer technically "energy" in actuality, the energy you examine with are easily KILOcalories. In different words, there are a million,000 real energy in one calorie on your food label.
