Question for Weight Training Experts

Recently I read that it's best to lift weight before cardio because cardio will deplete your glycogen stores and if there's none left during weight lifting then your body will burn muscle - so it's self defeating.

True? What is your experience?

I am new to committed weight training, but an avid exerciser - I spin 3-4x per week, plus pilates, yoga and some light cardio (treadmill). I have 50 pounds to lose and I'm stuck on a plateau, so trying to increase the weights to help get me unstuck (while working on the body I want underneath the extra weight!)
