What are some exercises (cardio) that got you in shape without running, without getting frustrated, that you have stuck to and worked?

I used to run like a maniac and it's all I have ever done to lose weight. I just can't do it anymore even though it drops the pounds fast for me. I hate it. I lift weights and enjoy that. Looking for successful cardio exercises other than running. I know how to eat and all that. I'm looking for a cardio activity I can do that doesn't make me want to end my life as I am doing it, even if the results are gradual, as long as the results are significant.

@SW-User HOw old are you? I'm 40 and find its harder to drop weight. Or maybe it's just getting easier to gain it. I'm not obese at all, but I'm getting puffy and clothes are getting tighter and its NOT the dryer LOL>

@NiftyWhite I'm 42 ... I've lost a lot of weight within the past four years ...it was slow but it was ongoing ...plus I changed my diet ...both go hand in hand ...you can't eat crap then excersize after ...it doesn't work ...

@SW-User I know. I used to train for fitness shows. But it was hardcore kick-your-ass cardio and workouts that got me into shape within a few months. I just don't have that kind of stamina to kill it. I have never "lost weight gradually"....How often do you do your workouts?
