    -to gain or loose a pound you HAVE to eat or burn 3500 calories!!! This is hard science, and logically you have to keep this in mind!!

    Good post, especially for the newbies, but this section should be corrected to say "to gain or loose a pound of fat you HAVE to eat or burn 3500 calories".

    As you point out in your post, it is quite easy to gain/lose a lb or more of weight without eating 3500.

    As long as you keep in mind that the fluctuations are normal, I don't think it's bad to weigh everyday. I usually weigh everyday, and sometimes several times a day.
