About the water weight. It depends on the amount of glycogen you had stored and there is no way to tell how much is water and how much is fat. In any case, it's 9 lbs gone forever, so woo hoo for you! 
After the water is gone, your rate of weight loss depends on things like degree of metabolic resistance, amount of weight you have to lose, exercise routine, caloric intake, amount of water drank and so on.
So... my point here... As nice as it would be to know this, no one can tell how fast you'll keep losing weight or how much of the weight you've lost is water.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
