I was at the gym last night and some guy walks up to the trainer and asked if it is a bad thing to have your arm go completely numb after doing curls and if it would be ok for him to continue.
switch diet / cardio / add some weights. i used hydroxycut with my workouts for almost a yr and iv lost 34 lbs. 198 now 
now im into progressive resistance training to bulk up on the muscle. added in soime protein and lots of B vitamins.

I don't get it. Building muscle will help you burn fat and keep your metabolism high. Working out is very easy if you do it right (most people don't, even those who "know what they're doing"). If you are losing weight, you're losing muscle. You have to at least keep up with this.
1) Drink lots of water.
2) Space out your meals and eat lots of protein.
3) As before cardio to burn calories, increase metabolism during the day, for heart health.
4) Weight training is good. If you do more than 15 reps, you're not building muscle. You're burning calories, but that's it. If you don't stress yourself to the max every time you work out, you won't build muscle. I recommend doing 3-5 reps of each exercise, max you can do. Work out one muscle group. Then lots of rest for that muscle group. Next time you work out, do the same but with a different muscle group. If you aren't sore the next day, you didn't use enough intensity. If you can't lift more weight the next time you work out, then you didn't give yourself enough rest. Make sure every exercies you do you are going for intensity not duration, except for cardio. Cardio will help you lose weight and burn calories, but it won't build any muscle.

Great advice all. Had my 2nd meeting with the trainer last night and we have developed a carido/strength/cardio routine. Also working out the diet phase. I know more than anything this will be a long term commitment and have mentally prepared myself for it to be a lifestyle change. I will not be dieting just developing healthier eating habits. Thanks again for the support.
This is true, however for someone who is obese the objective is to build stamina first and get the fat off then once that is accomplished through cardio and diet then you start with gradual weight training which helps to maintain the weight loss and keep your metabolism up. Unless you are looking to become a body builder then you would get into the weights hot and heavy. But for most people that is not the case. So light weights are recommended for toning. Weight lifting does nothing for your heart muscle.
