Any tips for losing weight in the next 2 months?

Hi!
So im going away at the end of October to celebrate my birthday. I want to lose some weight so I look nice and feel good about myself. Also, where I am going I might have the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend of mine from high school. I've gained a little bit of weight since I graduated, so I at least want to get back down to where I was.

My ultimate goal is 30lbs, but even 20 lbs would be nice too. I'm looking for some diets that have quick results and that are easy. I know people have their opinion on crash diets but TRIST ME, I can afford to lose the weight. Seriously guys, I'm very very overweight. Also I know I said I wanted easy and this probably won't be easy but I go to school and have two part time jobs so I'm fairly busy. I LOVE food, so are there any that I can eat a lot of without suffering much damage?
As far as exercise goes, I have a gym membership so I'm going to try to go more often and work harder when I go.

thanks for all your tips and advice!

Depends on your weight. A quick way is cut out carbs, only eat about 56 carbs a day. Make sure to eat though, eat protein and vegetables that are healthy. Some vegetables have carbs but it's healthy so it's okay. I personally prefer pickles, they're zero carbs and calories and make a great inbetween snack. Make sure to work out for one hour 4-5 days a week but don't push to much. Start at 30 minuets and then work your way up. I generally do 15 crunches, 15 squats, and 50 jumping jacks every morning. It helps to start your day, make sure to be eating good food though and remember to eat. If you skips meals you might get light headed from the loss of carbs.

Crash diets do not help, since they result in a yoyo effect. Just cut carbs below your daily need (but not too low or your body will compensate). And for the rest, a lot of vegetables and fruit. And enough proteins in small portions so you don't loose muscle mass. If you don't like animal proteins, go for vegetable ones. Regarding sport: low intensity cardio for a minimum of 30 min (better is 1 hour) to start the fat burning cycle. High intensity workouts will help too.
