well don't get so excited yet, that sounds like just fluctuation. to lose a pound of fat we have to burn 3,500 calories. at your small size, doing HiiT meant only to be performed short periods- 30min max, burning 3500 calories in one workout sounds really unlikely.
wow that reads really negatively, but most likely you just sweated a lot, then tomorrow it would be right back and you would feel all disappointed, but now you know it's just water, so you didn't 'mess up' and have to wonder how you 'gained' a pound again.
i'm happy you found a workout you like.
there's also plyo both HiiTand plyo work your fast twitch fibers. make sure you let your body rest at least one of those days. or possibly some yoga or pilates? you don't want to do the same thing for too long. you'll be bored and your body will adapt to it. def. you want to limit doing HiiT 1 or 2 times a week. or you could do HiiT once and plyo another day during the week.
try watching cathe friedrich's HiiT workouts, for ideas of moves. and STS plyo. clips of both workouts are available on youtube or on the cathe website. she also has many different rotations/routines set up. you can look through those and get some ideas of how to arrange your workouts through the week or month.
i don't want you to feel sucked in to feel you have to buy the dvds. i'm just suggesting you watch the clips, try to educate yourself. i simply take notes on what they are doing, make a routine for myself. then throw on some music to do it for FREE!
