The great thing about lifting is the lean body mass changes one undergoes. Where most people fail is that cardio tends to me you hungrier than lifting, so you have a tendency to overeat a bit more. If you have self control, though, that's not a problem.

Yup. I do circuits, with only rest between sets, and tends to keep the heart rate between 100 and 145, with an average of 117. So essentially right in that fat burning range.
