    OP, you may gain a bit of weight temporarily, since strength training works your muscles hard and they retain fluid to help them repair themselves. This will go away over time. More reps with lighter weights (vs. fewer reps with heavier weights) will help you tone. Don't worry about the scale so much.

    Just a FYI, the "high reps/low weight for toning" is not completely accurate

    You want to lift BOTH low reps/heavy weights and high reps/low weights as they work different muscle fibers (Type 1 and Type 2). It's important to do both methods for toning.

    And remember, tone = low body fat (not high reps)
