5-10% of the weight needed to be lost is what most folks lose after the two-week Induction period. If you lose more than that, lucky you. 
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. 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!"

And it isn't any kind of limit, the percentage of your weight that you lose during a good induction tells you something about your individual body system. The larger a percentage you lose, the less metabolically resistant your body is. If you can lose 10 percent you are doing well and not metabolically resistant, if you lose less, you are somewhat more MR. You evidently don't have a MR problem! Yay you! lol

About the water weight.....Unless you get your % body fat measured before you start and again on Day 14, there's really no way to tell how much of your loss is water or fat. Dr. Atkins, however, wrote that after the first 3 or 4 days, the weight you are losing is fat weight, not water weight.
