No weight training won't make you look like Arnold (theres only a handful of men on the planet who have the genetics to look like that!)
As exaktley has said light weights and high reps will give you a toned rather than musuclar look.
With a decent ammount of cardio and a good workout routine you can achieve a very sculpted but not overly muscular frame and burn off that excess BF.
My brother has started training with me and although hes not a woman he to wants to achieve a toned and athletic look rather than a BB look.
He to was under the impression that if he started training he with weights he would end up looking like me when all he wanted to do was lose some BF and get toned.
As I told him without the diet, the supplements and the heavy lifting hes not going to get big and neither will you.
I know a few women at my gym who train regularly with weights doing high rep low weight workouts combined with cardio and they have curves in all the right places as well as a toned and tight physique.
You can to so don't panic lifting a weight doesn't mean your going to wake up the next morning with 20inch arms!
