Well, I was wondering if the workout I am doing is enough to lose weight effectively, while building muscle:

50 hopping push-ups (bounce up into the air on only your arms)
50 twisting sit ups
10 minutes curling 5 and ten lbs switch off at half way point
squats 10 minutes while holding weights in outstretched arms for resistance

Well, that besides running, is my workout. If anyone could help me refine it, that would be nice.

Don't have time for detailed response
But the answer is No.

Read Stickies in weight training section.

Pushups and squats are good, but you need a more rounded program. Drop the curls, they are next to useless.

Like Phate said, read the stickies. They will show you some starting points of what should be included in a program.
 
it all depends on how much condition you have. If you have full condition your program can not help you with anything. If you are a beginner then you can find more information on nutrition-exercise.com
Good Luck
 
You need to have some more cardio in your program. You didn't say how far you run, whether it is intervals etc. Why don't you add some weight training?
 
There's no point in refining your program until you put it to work and get some real feedback. For all you know, your program doesn't need any tweeking.
 
Your program definitely needs refined. As a general rule if you really want to add muscle you need to do compound movements; Squats, Deadlifts, Benchpress. I don't know what equipment you have access to, but do yourself a favor get a barbell and some weights and some dumbbells. A good bench, preferably that inclines and a pull-up bar. If your budget will allow for it get a power rack, if not there are benches with adjustable uprights that will allow for doing squats. Dips are also a great strength builder. Stick to the major 3 exercises I talked about as the core of your weight lifting routine, and definitely do pull-ups and dips. Cut back on the curls as they only work you biceps, and don't plan a routine on number of minutes you do an exercise, but rather sets and reps. I don't have time to give you a whole routine, but these are some basic guidelines. Do some homework and come up with a routine. Check out my site and see what I have, you may need some things.
