If you're looking to tone arms and legs, this will probably work. But to lose some pounds, you'll want to run if you want to see faster results. Lifting weights while doing so may only add to your weight - but in muscle, so you may not notice a weight loss.
Better yet, try this: power walk for an hour 4 days of the week, and run/jog for as long as you can for 3 days of the week. Rest or walk lightly on the 7th day to give your body time to catch up with your workouts.
