What is a healthy way to lose 5 pounds in two and a half weeks i am currently 22 years old 5'6 and weigh 139 ?

Not over weight : First of all you are not overweight. However if you want to lose 2 lbs. eat healthy no more than 2000 cal predator and exercise at least 1 hour per day. Cardiovascular exercise is preferred. This would include bicycling or swimming
