losing weight? how fast?

I'd like to know if trying to lose 40 lbs in 3 months is a realistic goal. I have never had to lose this much in my life (damn office job) and now that I am prepping for a career change I need to get in major shape as fast as possible.

I know that working out and changing my diet is important, but how fast can a person lose this kind of weight without resorting to some kind of drug or medication??
