high rep/low weight resistance training might be a good way to burn off extra calories without going near the achilles. 30 minutes (or more) 3x a week with resistance bands, dumbells, barbells or machines will keep your heart rate up and help to burn off some fat. Diet will really be key, though. I don't know what your diet looks like now, but removing junk food (obviously) is an excellent start. Best foods are whole grains, lean meats, low fat dairy, fresh veggies... that kind of thing. But most important is how much you eat. Be aware of about how many calories you're taking in and keep it around 200-500 less than you burn each day. I'd be willing to bet removing junk food (sodas, fast food, all that) will make a big difference, though.
