Good for you, Sherry, for seeing such a big loss!
I would advise you to get your hands on a book or two (your profile doesn't mention any) and read more on low-carbing - Atkins, Protein Power, etc. all give the basics.
My "short answer" to you would be this: I think a very large loss in a short period (a couple of days) at the very start of induction can be explained by the fact that when you stop ingesting large amounts of carbs, often one's body seems to let go of a lot of water weight as well as some bodyfat - I believe it has to do with stored glycogen.
But don't let that worry you - for lots of us, seeing the numbers on the scale go down so quickly in the first week is plenty motivation to continue controlling our carbs, and seeing our bodyfat reduce even further.
Good luck!
