Losing water weight is good stuff. Insulin binds water to it. As your insulin levels drop the bloat bound to it is lost. Since insulin stores fat, you want it to drop so you won't be storing fat, and it will drop more as you continue lowcarbing and you'll start burning fat for fuel.
I don't think you realize how driven your eating is by your blood sugar going up and down by eating carbs. You eat carbs, if you don't burn them off in a short period of time - insulin sweep the rest into your cells and stores it as fat. As that happens your body is sending out the message that you need energy. Your body burns sugar first, not fat. If your not in fat burning mode only sugar will provide you with energy. So you naturally eat more sugar.
Some people have a high enough tolerance for sugar that they can maintain their weight eating carbs. Since you're overweight you're probably not one of them. The carb level to lose and maintain is a very individual thing, so you might not have to stay at induction levels long and could still lose weight.
I know people who lost weight and have kept it off by lowering calories. 10 years later their still eating 1200 calories a day to maintain.
