I have been doing intervals on the treadmil (Walking for 3-5mins then Jogging/Running for 1min and so on for about 20-30mins) it has helped alot but i want to step it up and try something that might help move the weight along faster...Any advice on how to lose that last few lbs?

Like Baxie said: increase your exercise duration to an hr. Also you can increase the intensity of your exercise by jogging for 2 mins/run 1 min. Repeat for 30 mins. After 30 mins, jog or run at your own pace for the remainder of the hr. w/ minimal walk/rest periods.

Each time you sprint, it should be faster than the last time. If you are pushing yourself enough, you shouldn't be able to do more than 12-14 mins of these. Also, try cutting your carb grams down to 50-70g a day. I'm currently losing my last 5 pounds too and the carb restriction is providing great results on the scale! (I also do a bootcamp M-W-F) which doesn't hurt. good luck!

That could be why your weight loss is stalling. You are at huge deficits and I would not recommend adding more exercise. At this point you are only losing lean muscle with such a low intake. ============================================ 155: After regaining 16 pounds.
