    First of all, ignore that “in five weeks” thing. I wish they’d remove that. It gives people false expectations, dashes hopes, and imho cause people to give up as a result.

    I can’t say anything better and more to the point than what @L1zardQueen already posted above.

    My guess would be that you’re eating more than you think. Are you weighing your food, are you doing it in grams and not cups, and are you logging every single bite?

    Also, are you new to exercising, and have you been stiff or sore? That will cause your body to retain water, which it directs to the sore places for healing.

    I can very easily put on two or three pounds the day following a tough workout.

    The 5 week prediction only works if all the various estimates involved in your calorie balance work out.

    Best guess - you aren't actually eating as little as you think you are.
    Making your diary open instead of private would help people help you.
