While dumbbells can build strength, they do not raise the metabolic rate enough to burn sufficient calories to loose the weight. Need to incorporate cardio-vascular exercises along with weights for toning.

Hell no. Muscle weighs more than fat and dumbells will only work on muscle which will make you get more..you need cardio to lose weight.

If you do dumbbells and nothing else, you'll gain muscle but you won't lose fat or weight. If you want to lose weight, cardiovascular exercises would be best; like running, bike-riding or swimming. It would also be good to diet.

It can certainly help! But you have to remember that it's 80% diet and 20% exercise. I lost 54 lbs, you can see my before and after pic here http://www.healthandstrength.net and I do incorporate plenty of weight training to my lifestyle, but I focus mainly on diet. That is the most important!

Yes, but weights do not burn as many calories as cardio (running) in the same time frame.
