Its very unlikely, but i'm not saying its not possible. Usually, the first couple pounds are easiest to lose because alot of it is water weight. So cut out sodium as well, and drink A LOT of water (no kidding, it actually makes you lose water).

I'd keep working out the way you are, and stick to a healthy diet.

I agree with the other posts, you will lose fat, but you may gain muscle which will make it look like you barely lost any weight. The only difference is, when you look in the mirror, you will look 5 pounds lighter even if the scale doesn't show it

I know what you mean, but it's hard to tell from the scales because muscle weighs more than fat. Like the previous advicenator said below me, the fat loss pound will sooner or later be replaced by muscle pound gain. Judge your body by what you see in the mirror instead. Don't weigh yourself. Everything depends on your metabolism, how hard you are working when you are working out, maybe genetics, etc. I'm sorry to say that it's not realistic to loose that much pounds within two weeks. Maybe a month or two, healthily. You can lose water weight, though.

i dont think you could lose 5 pounds but you would lose fat
the fat tissue stuff would get replaced by the muscle and you might actully gain a little weight. But you would lose some of your body size due to the fat being gone and you would be more toned
