Since it sounds to me like you are lifting more for health, weight loss and over-all well being then for mass, go with more reps per set with less weight. This will do more for your cardio system and general muscle tone and should avoid "bulking" up. If you want some more mass, do fewer reps with more weight until you get where you want to go and then switch to the first strategy I talked about.

No offense Sailor but I disagree with your statement. Cardio is get for lossing weight, yes, however weightlifting is also wonderful for it. Weightlifting builds muscle and more muscle will contribute to a higher matabolism which will burn fat faster. There are number of weight lose programs out there that work great and are composed almost completely of a weight lifting routine and some form of diet control.

That is not say that Cardio should be ignored, just that weight training can be a very effective method of weight loss as well.
