You can user table variables also:

DECLARE @startdt DATETIME, @enddt DATETIME
SELECT @startdt =  '2012-09-01', @enddt =  '2014-01-01'

DECLARE @Months TABLE (Months INT)

INSERT INTO @Months VALUES (MONTH(@startdt))
WHILE @startdt < @enddt
BEGIN
 SET  @startdt = DATEADD(MONTH,1,@startdt)
 INSERT INTO @Months VALUES (MONTH(@startdt))
END

SELECT * FROM @Months
