People tend to lose a lot less during C2 than in C1.  Maybe you are at a plateau ?  Do you keep track of calories/day? It sounds like you are getting enough calories, but make sure it is at least 1200 calories/day to prevent starvation mode.

Agree with Melissa.  I just finished Cycle 3 and lost...zero!  Yes, nothing.  I guess I should be glad I didn't gain weight.  I know what my problem is...I hardly exercised!  And I was so gung-ho in the beginning of Cycle 3, saying that I was going to exercise 60 mins 5 times a day.  Well, out of the whole 17 days, I exercised twice.  So it's not exercising, PLUS a plateau, I think, because I only have 5 pounds to lose, it is much harder for the body to to want to shed these last pounds.

The good thing is I went down a bra size.  I just bought a new bra today and I am now a size 32...DD!  I didn't lose any boob weight, which was what I was hoping, because I have upper back problems...I need to lose it in the boobs!!!  (BTW, it's not all mine...when I was 25 I got a boob job because I was flat like a teenage boy!  I got a large B/small C...but with all the weight I've gained since then, they've become size D/DD!)

Your food and water intake seem great!  Exercise seems good, more than me!  Maybe take it up a notch with weight training.  It will boost your metabolism by building more muscle.  It's what I need to do, too!!!
