As usual it looks like it is not known for certain what the actual dangers are to rapid weight cycles.
The Doc I had for the 15 years in Louisiana got agitated one time when I put on 10lbs between annual physicals. I had lost 40lbs the year before on the WW program at work, and he was of the opinion that rapid weight cycles were bad. It never came up again as I haven't had a 10lb cycle since then.
