ok i started dieting last monday and i weighed myself monday evening and was exactly 90kg now i weighed myself first thing this morning and was 86.5 so i thought its because its the morning so i weighed there a few mins ago when i got home from work and still 86.5kg is this too much weight to be loosing so quick im on about 2000 calories with 175grams protein 70 grams carbs and 100grams fat 26grams saturated im also doing all the same excersise i was before at the same weight and at the same time every second day

I'm just a little heavier than you, My average is 92KG but no I don't think its too much as when I spend a night or two away from home I tend to lose weight too, So your dieting and that weight loss sounds about right for 5/6 days, Some of us find it easy to lose weight others don't, I have to eat a lot just to keep my weight stable as it is.

couldnt tell without knowing if you're male or female, or your height, if that's alot to lose in a week.

but if you go from a diet that would normally cause weight gain, to a very strict diet (assuming you've been more physically active too), it's a sort of "shock to the system", and you tend to see a big loss in the first week, a very small loss in the 2nd week, and then the weight loss tends to steady out.
I think it's part of why some people give up on diets so easily, they expect to lose the same amount every week.

sorry im a male 6ft 1 and i have been working outside roofing, blocklaying stuff like that for 8-9 years im really not looking to lose weight as such but more tighten up the lower ab area i was actually kinda hoping to keep in or around the same weight ,i am just hoping that the weight lost is not muscle,thats why i uped my protein amounts by double i would say and keep the same weight training routine

No its not too much weight for the first few weeks, your body will prob readjust to functioning on less.

Celebrate starting and seeing through this week well but don't get too excited as this is where I see a lot of people I know reverting back to gaining after a month or two, they lose a lot of weight in the first 1-3 weeks then they work just as hard and don't see the results, I also see people getting dissapointed about "only losing a pound" which is a fantastic achievement, dont fret things will even out, the weight loss will probably slow down but a year from now with the healthier lifestyle your body will change over time my personal advice is not to get too into pounds per week as it will stall go up, down a lot sometimes and down a little other times so over a long period of time its a head wrecker
I was 95 kg 9 months ago and now I'm 81, I actually feel just as bad about the numbers as I did six months ago but I feel and look fitter, I lost the first 14 pounds pretty easily but even though i kept eating better and exercising more each pound after that was a battle to get off and keep off just gotta keep switching it up

If you don't drink much water then your body will retain water so if you have suddenly started drinking a lot of water your body doesn't need to retain the water, that could account for some of your loss!

your on 70grams of carbs.you are now holding less water and muscle glycogen(stored carbohydrate within the muscle).the first 10 days on a diet on lower carbohydrates results in less water being held.
