Here you Manda...have a read through this:
14 ways to speed up your weightloss

For example - If you can't lose weight walking at 3 mph then try walking faster at 3.5 mph or try walking up a hill to increase intensity and even though you may have lost weight in the beginning doing simple weight loss activities like walking...
You may HAVE TOO exercise with more intensity to lose weight by switching over to more advanced weight loss activities like Intervals or other weight loss workouts to lose your last 10, 20, or maybe even 30 pounds and...
If you don't want to Exercise with more intensity to break out of your weight loss plateau - You can...
2. Do a different exercise at least every 3 weeks...
If you've been doing the same exercise everyday - then over time... YOU & YOUR body will get used to the same exercise you're doing and you'll burn less calories making you lose less weight so...
You need to trick your body into losing weight again by doing a different weight loss exercise or a new weight loss workout at least every 3 weeks (or every week or even everyday) and here's a real world example of how this works...
I knew a lady who lost 25 lbs. walking on a treadmill everyday but after about 2 months she stopped losing weight so I told her to start doing something different like the Elliptical machine and she lost 7 pounds in her first 2 weeks after switching over to the Elliptical machine and...
You may lose weight even faster if you do a different weight loss exercise each time you workout (instead of waiting at least 3 weeks) and if you don't want to do a different exercise to break out of your weight loss plateau - You can...
Basically - If you're not losing weight anymore by walking for 30 minutes... Then you need to start walking for 45 minutes and...
Once you get to a point where you're not losing weight doing the same exercise for 60-to-90 minutes - You'll then need to Exercise harder and/or Do a Different exercise (See #1 & #2 above) and...
If you don't want to exercise longer to break out of your weight loss plateau - You can...
4. Do your exercises more often
Basically - If you're walking 2 times a week and not losing weight... Then you need to start walking 3-to-5 times a week or walk everyday and another way you can break out of your weight loss plateau is to...
5. Workout twice a day
If you have time... You can workout twice a day to increase your metabolism by working out in the morning on an empty stomach to burn more fat and then working out again in the evening and...
You don't have to workout in the morning & the evening only - You can workout at lunch and after dinner or.... Look at fast weight loss tip #1 and See How to lose weight at home and just so you'll know...

If you lost 10 pounds eating 1800 calories a day then you may need to eat 1700 calories or lower to break out of your weight loss plateau and lose weight faster because...

This is why the 50 pound weight loss plan here has you eating less calories every time you lose 10 pounds but...
You don't want to go extremely low and eat below 1000-to-1200 calories (see #9 & See why VLCD don't always work) and...

Read through it and it's helpful... I've been increasing my incline and speed on the treadmill. The thing is that I don't want to stop doing the treadmill, as at my gym, the treadmills have personal TV's to watch and it makes me exercise for so much longer. I need to find some exercises for my lower back fat as well, since my stomach is starting to flatten out, but I have that muffin top look that's so gross!
