Don't go by calories and numbers...go by what you see in the mirror or you will become a slave to a tool that doesn't work very well.
Did you know that muscle is a natural calorie burner and that the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn just doing nothing but sitting instead of painstakingly running on a treadmill?
By the time you burn 360 calories on a treadmill you really haven't burned anything and this is what the manufacturers neglect to tell you. Just because it says that you have burned 360 calories on the readout doesn't mean you really burned that many...it just means that you have done 360 calories worth of work. Your body can acclimate at an amazing rate and will make any change it needs to to make stress put upon it easier. This is why weightlifters always strive to go heavier all the time...because their body has acclimated to a particular workload where it once was beneficial but now does nothing.
If you are spending anymore than 15 minutes on a cardiovascular machine then you are wasting your time because your body acclimates to that workload very fast.
What you can do to counterract this is to employ what is called "Intensity Priniciples" and this includes Interval training. This is when you train at the maximum for 30 seconds, then go at a regular pace for 1 minute and then repeat to see how many intervals you can do. This forces your body to acclimate to different workloads so that it continues to burn calories instead of just doing the same thing for a set time where you really do nothing despite what the treadmill says.

3500 calories is one pound (of body mass, which is what you want to loose, not water).

well yo burn off calories to lose weight. exactly how many calories yo have to lose to be equivalent to a pound, i really dont know. i doubt anyone knows. because it all depends on your metabolism. some people have a fairly easy time losing weight, and others a rough time. its all in your genes sweetheart, so keep workin at it.
