Has anyone who started with a BMI over 50 benefited from weight training?

I am almost 5.5 months post operative, and I have lost almost 100 LBS. I still have approximately 100 to go. I would like to know if anyone has had good results from weight training? I have recently started going to our local club and I was put on a circuit of both upper and lower body machines. I can certainly feel my muscles standing up and taking notice! I also do cardiovascular for at least 15-20 minutes, somestimes twice a day. However, I wanted to if any of you other posters have found this helpful in both weight loss and toning. Before I get flamed over this last remark, I know at 43 years of age, and being obese all my life, I will need surgery of some kind; however, I want to know if all this work is going to help me keep my metabolism up and continue losing and possibly toning. Thanks for your feedback. :)
