Hi :]
This is a very aggressive goal you've set yourself - why so much in such a short space of time? Slow and steady wins the race, I promise you that. I'd suggest breaking those 26 pounds in to smaller increments. Aim to lose around 5 or 6 pounds per month and you'll find yourself appreciating those mini targets you hit.
I have lost 30lbs in just under 4 months so it's certainly possible - but I was MISERABLE. I lost friendships and very almost lost my relationship because I refused to eat anything over 1200 calories per day in fear that it'll effect my weight loss goals. I didn't treat myself to anything in the entire 4 months. I was losing weight for a healthy life but essentially, I'd lost my life anyway. Slow it down and enjoy the process. You'll get there - but be realistic and gentle with yourself.
