Low Impact High Calorie Burn Excercises?

Does anyone have any exercises that they do that are low impact but torch a ton of calories? I've found lately the only way to loose weight is by running a lot and hitting the stairmaster but I don't think my knees can take it! Once I get to mile 4 my left knee starts to feel like it's going to give out. I'm sure being heavy for so long has affected my knee joints but I don't want to stop running. Help! What would you suggest?

    Swimming is no impact and a great calorie burner.
