i have already lost 60 pounds since October and wondering if anyone had any suggestion to speed up the process to make 30 or more pounds by August 14, my birthday, (anything at all but purposely vomiting)

It's just about impossible to lose 30 pounds in a month (especially for a woman) and, even if you could, it would be VERY unhealthy! My suggestion is that you find a good, healthy diet, a type of exercise you can stick with, and an outfit that makes you look your best at around the weight you're at.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

Anything is possible but you would probably gain it all back. You should go on a safe diet try www.sparkpeople.com It's free and it shows you how to excerise good and what foods to eat. You could probably lose 15 pounds, give or take a few. Good Luck!!! and i wish you a happy birthday

I wouldn't suggest trying to lose that much weight in about a months worth of time, in fear of sagging skin. But if your desperate I would try Slim in 6, or consulting your doc.

it's possible...the only really safe way would be eating mainly fruits and vegetables...you'll lose a lot of weight that way but you'll need to take dietary supplements to make up for the protein and calcium you won't be getting from those other foods.
