-Clear reason and question for the post

Ok this is quite simple really, at the moment even though it seems quite structured it isn't. I haven't really had a set routine to stick to, I'm coming back from a stress fracture in my metatarsal (About 3 1/2 weeks ago)

Before I went to university I went from a 44" waist to a 36", two years later on (I'm now on a working year) I am back to a 40" waist and extremely depressed over it.

I have a holiday coming up on the 11th October hopefully to Florida with a friend and want to be able to feel better about going swimming and not worry about people looking at my unsightly figure. Also the week before I have a trip to visit my university for the week and want to look good for seeing an ex who was pretty horrible to me due to my weight gain.

I know when I put my mind to it I can do it however I really need a set routine to stick too, I am exceedingly good at sticking to a routine, so if anyone can give me even a basic food and exercise routine I will stick to it rigidly.

I have a lot of 36" jeans I bought when I lost my weight which I would love to get back into. My aim is to get to a 34" this time and keep it now I'm a member of a nice gym in a nice place.

-If you have any medical problems or injuries we should be aware of

Just recovering from a stress fracture of the 2nd metatarsal.

Cheers in advance guys, I am willing to burn the hell out of it for the next 6 weeks, I know you wont advise this long term but short term it would be great to give me a boost before my hols.

Hey Richard,

Sorry for delay to your post, getting right on it...

Here the deal I very rarely recommend this in fact you can look at all my posts and I doubt you will find it.

The goal you have is very specific, if this goal is what it will take to start you on the right track then hey go ahead and knock yourself out. That being said you have a previous injury and therefore certain limitations. You also have a very aggressive goal. I think if you really want to achieve this goal by the time want to achieve it you are going to have to work with a professional.

If you want to just get a start on things on your own then you are going to have to crash course educate yourself like yesterday. A great place to start is the basics of figuring out your caloric and nutrition needs here is the quickest way to that...
