You don't have much to lose, so it may take longer to come off. Two pounds is a great loss. It all adds up, and becareful about going too low on the calories because it can sometimes backfire and you end up gaining. Gotta fuel the metabolism to make it burn. Just be paticient. 

On BFL you're supposed to eat enough nutrients to support excercise. For example, since you weight train, you need to eat at least your weight in grams of protein every day (so if you weigh 80, you need to eat at least 80 grams of protein). As BFL is essentially based on body building, this comes to 1.5gr per kg at least. You shouldn't restrict caloric intake at all (just make sure you eat around 40/50/10 mix of calories from protein/carbs/fat). The excercise will take care of the fat burning. Check out the BFL book - the portions advised there are quite large. For example, 6 meals like the book's egg-white omelet (4 egg-whites, 1 yolk) add up to around 1000kcal, but this is *before carbs*. You need to eat more, otherwise whatever your body gains in muscle it immediately metabolises away. You're probably losing lean body mass, which isn't what BFL is about.
