Most doctors agree that losing about 5 lbs a week is the limit (give or take). The best bet for losing a lot of weight in a short period of time is to do 2 main things:
1) Cut portion size. You shouldn't limit your carbs or protien or anything like that, it's just not ballanced, and thus not healthy. Also, if you eat every few hours (nothing major just snacking, like an apple or a grilled chicken breast or something) your body speeds up and metabolizes faster.
2) exercise! It's best to do a mix of cardio and weights. Cardio is good for drastic weight loss while the weights help build muscle which tones the body and helps burn fat also.
If you're still not sure, you can go to your doctor and he/she will help you pick out a better regime then what I gave you.
GOOD LUCK!

Eat Veggies, grilled skinless chicken breasts, and grilled fish.
Cross training is really a great way to go.
Sunday - Try running a mile then walking a mile. If you can't do the full mile running that is fine. Push as far as you can.
Monday - Run .10 mile sprints 5 times. Cool down between each. Jog/speed walk .5 mile.
Tuesday - Ride a stationary bike for 45 minutes. Then do 35 of each.
Sit ups
Crunches
Bicycle Sit ups
Wednesday - Take off and let your body heal.
Thursday - Run again. Same as Monday. Push as best you can.
Friday - Weight Training. Work on your upper boddy and lower body.
Saturday - Take off.

The only way to lose 70 pounds in 4 1/2 months is Gastric Bypass surgery, any other methods will harm your health. A healthy goal is to lose 8-12 pounds per month, so 54 at the most. You have to be careful not to hurt yourself!

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
