NO!!!! That would be a horrible thing to try and do to your body.
If a BMI calculator says you are obese, then it would be safe for you to lose up to 3 pounds a week (on average). You could probably lose 20 pounds in 7 weeks, with a lot of effort.
After you enter into the "overweight" range, you should be striving for 2 pounds a week (average), because this is a weight loss pattern a body can maintain and stay healthy at.
I would recommend you find a good gym with a meal plan, or an online site, if that is better for you. I used sparkpeople.com - you may check it out as a jumping off point. It's free to use - lots of recipes, and if you want it can workout an entire meal plan for you, or you can customize your own. It's a really good place to get the basic info you need for losing weight... I lost about 30 pounds while I was using it.

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Why not see a doctor and get on a safe diet plan?
60 pounds sounds like a goal that may take around a year to accomplish. Generally you will lose more weight at first with diet & exercise, but it's good to pace yourself so that your heart is healthy too.
Good luck!

Doesn't really sound safe.
It took me a year and a half to lose that much weight and I was religiously working out 5 days a week and eating a 1200 calorie a day diet.

It would be good going to loose 2lb a week over any extended time. Over 7 weeks you would be doing very well to loose 14lbs.
You didn't put on that weight in a matter of weeks and you can't safely loose it quickly.
Exercise combined with the diet of your choice will slowly get you thinner. There's no other way.

that's too much weight in such a short period of time, but you can lose that much weight. eat a well balanced diet with proper portions, drink plenty of water, and get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. these sites will help you with your diet and exercise plan.
