Cardio is good for weight loss if you are eating healthy as well. Find out how many calories you need to mantain your weight and create a deficit through exercise and/or calorie counting. Sites like livestrong.com can help you track calorie intake as well as what calories you are burning and all tailored to your height, weight and age. If you are just beginning, not having a weighted rope should not matter. I would try to jump for as long as you can, maybe 15-20 minutes to start, and look up jump rope tricks to try to make it more fun. Hope this helps :) Jumping rope is a great cardio workout.

No don't put duct tape on it. It shouldn't be too heavy . Just start jumping and try to use two feet when you do it. Jump up with two feet and down. Start with ten times and keep it up. You will feel your heart rate rise quickly. Keep it up for about one hundred jumps. Then rest and either jog or speed walk to maximize your muscles that are now warmed up . The jogging will help to elongate the muscles in your legs and torso and arms. Doing both will have an excellent workout for your body. It is a fantastic way to lose weight.
