I swam competitively for years and then became a lifeguard. If done right, you'll get a killer workout. It's really easy to not push yourself though if you don't have a coach yelling at you to go faster. There are lots of benefits to it though! Whole body workout with zero impact on your joints being the major one.

Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer Cardio routine kicks my butt every time no matter what shape I'm in.

I was never much concerned with the scale until my doctor told me I was obese according to my BMI. Didn't weigh myself for 3 months after I changed my diet and routine. Now I weigh myself once a month to keep track of my progress. It's definitely a psychological thing since daily fluctuations can be a real downer.

My best tip is to keep your routine well-rounded. Do your cardio AND your strength training because they are both beneficial. Most importantly, don't step on the scale every day. When I first started, I didn't step on the scale until after 3 months. Give your routine time for your body to catch up with it.
