I'm trying to get into shape and loose that extra 10 pounds I can't seem to shake. I lift weights three or four days a week. A friend told me that I can't loose weight lifting weights. Should I abandon my weights?

No. If done correctly, resistance training using weights can lower body fat while increasing muscle size, improving bone health, and raising the body's overall ability to burn calories. If weight lifting is new for you, work with a competent trainer. If you eat sensibly, you'll eventually get the results you're looking for.
