ever since i've been lifting, i've gone until i can do 4 sets of 15 reps, then increased by 5 lbs.

usually after increasing i can do about 4x12.

does this sound right? is 15 too many? im usually lifting till fail or intense burn so...you know.

im not partial to size or tone but i figure this routine makes sense since im doing minimum 30mins cardio a day...figured a toning-like lifting routine would be more conducive to losing weight...

15 is a bit high. Most 'experts' recommend 10-12 on the higher side. I would personally say add more weight and do 4x12, then drop to to sets of 10 when you go down.

But if what you're doing is working, keep it up.

No prob. I personally do 3x10 for all my exercises and don't do drop sets. Thats how I trained for football back in High School and it still works for me today. Sometimes I'll do 12-15 if the weight is light, but not often.

For fat loss, don't forget Cardio

i do something between 1 to 5 reps for 1 to 5 sets for the main move of the day (currently im doing 3 reps for 3 sets)
and 6 to 10 reps for 2 to 3 sets for other moves of the day (currently 3x10)
when i get the desired reps/sets (or 1 rep less (10, 10, 9 for 3x10)) i increase the weight
