Weight Loss before Birthday

So, I am back again and trying to lose weight. I want to lose at least 12-18 lbs. before my b-day in 60+ days.
Things are hard at work and my love life is non-existent (I'm getting turned by guys left and right). I'm feeling blue about my bday as a doc recently said "you're getting to that age...". Sigh.
So I am hoping that if I can get to 260lbs. by my bday, that would be amazing! That was also my usual weight in college (obese since I was in elementary school). But I think that being that much lighter may help with energy and fatigue and pains in my back, knees, and feet. I think it will also help me to feel better about myself and hopefully slow down that aging clock.
I got sick a few years back and noticed that while I lost weight in my hips (I was very pear shaped), I lost so much that my waist now is like only a 3 inch difference from my hips.
My cycle stopped during my illness, so I am wondering if the change in shape is due to my hormones? They seem okay now, though.
Any thoughts?
