    You only have 2 pounds to lose? Logging needs to be tight!

    How long are you working out? I know you said 2x a day, but that seems excessive even for preparing for a comp. There is a lot of potential that you are holding a good amount of water weight since you work out often. Cutting back might help with that and might help let your muscles repair themselves.

    with that little to lose fat is going to come off a lot slower…

    what is your weight loss goal right now ..1 pound or .5 pound per week?

    oh and you mentioned that you are training two times a day = HIIT and lifting is that correct?

    If yes, you may have some water retention going on ….It may be beneficial to back HIIT off to only three days a week and keep lifting intensity as it is….
