correction...the misconception about low carb diets and people regaining the weight is that they dont build any muscle to help keep the weight off. the bottom line is this, your making a life change not a band-aid fix. Your going to need to build some muscle to keep the weight off and the low-carb thing will work for you but you have to remember that along with that kind of diet you will need to work out also. So asking how much you can change in 2 months is really up to you.
For example I'm 26 in july I worked out 6 days a week with kettlebells and gave myself sundays off. I did cardio as well after my workouts and dieted cleanly with ketogenesis and lost 21lbs in a month. Going from 183lbs to 162lbs and dropping my bodyfat from about 18 back down to 10. Of course, I'm a personal trainer and I work in the industry for a living so that can definitely help but don't get discouraged at that and don't set lofty goals. Set smaller ones you can reach and once you reach them set another goal and so forth and so on.
If you want some help let me know and ill be glad to try and give you a weight-loss routine. Good luck and post about your progress in 2 mos.
