It sounds as though you might have a specific weight loss goal to be accomplished within a specfic time.
Eating healthy and working out is the way to do it, but I'd be surprised if you could lose 15-20 pounds in a single month, unless you REALLY pushed hard in your workouts and significantly reduced your caloric intake.
There are diets such as Atkins that can't be maintained and are bad for you long-term, but you will pretty easily lose 20 or more in a month if you stick to it.
To be successful, you have to find a plan that works for you. You want to able to maintain the diet without craving foods or feeling deprived. Sooner or later that will lead to a binge.
It can also be a collection of simple things that add up to weight loss. If you like ice cream (who doesn't!?) have non-fat yogurt or Lite / Fat Free instead of regular. They have some great flavors.
Instead of a burger, have ground turkey, a chicken breast or tuna instead. Things like this go a long way toward helping you re-define your body.
Best of luck!
