I think low repetition, heavy weight lifting is more effective.

I prefer long walks on the beach, holding hands, watching Grey's Anatomy, reading chick lit, and picking out wedding dresses. Are you the man for me?

Not until you paint your living room.

Low rep heavy weight is for building large muscle mass and bulking up.

True, but most women aren't going to bulk up all that much, although personally I'd be thrilled to have a body like Serena Williams, LOL.
And DA, I'm hoping RC will be my knight in shining armor who does all the home improvement work while I sip wine like a delicate flower and read Cosmo.

ZTAngel advice:
I hear women say all the time, "I don't work out my chest because I don't want to lose my boobies!!!!!!"
Guess what breast tissue is made out of? Fat. Guess what you lose when you do cardio? Fat. If you're working out regularly, you will lose fat and, yes, you may lose your breasts as well. The good thing about working out your chest is that it builds up your pectoral muscles which is what your breasts sit on. Working out your chest muscles will make your breasts perkier and will make them appear bigger.
I had to make this post because I just overheard two of my female co-workers discussing how they don't work out their chest muscles because they don't want to lose a cup size.

I'm a big fan of fitday. Tracking what you eat and your exercise is key.

This is generally true, but both contribute to overall increase in metabolism and advancement in lean muscle tissue over fat - so really, unless you're in great shape already, both will help.
I guess the way to look at it is, "if you're trying to lose weight, just f-ing go, don't worry about the semantics or specifics so much as being in the gym 5 days a week"

Yeah, I agree, I'm just saying that if you are overweight, I wouldn't start out with heavy lifting....unless you want to look like Nate Newton.
