This morning my scale said 188.4 which is higher than 3 days ago and I have been on Atkins induction for 10 days. I am kicking myself but than I realized I went from 201 to 188 in 50 days. My clothes fit better and I feel better, that's what counts, I guess...Grrrrr......(I just starting trying to lose weight 11/22/15 and it seems like its been forever!)

Be patient with yourself. You didn't put it on that quickly and shouldn't expect it to come off faster than you put it on. I think the disappoint sometimes comes from wanting a higher return on your investment (time and energy dieting and exercising as well as frustration that comes with changing your habits) than we should expect. It's like being in a long term investment and wanting to cash out the first time it takes a dip in value. You can do this. Be as patient with yourself as you would be with others.

Thanks for the support Scrawford. Truth be told, I am not a patient person so I guess that's a good place to start...

Hiya,
Looking at your food diary it may be that although you are keeping your net carbs low, your protein is too high, and your fat too low. In the absence of carbs surplus protein can be converted to glucose rather than generate energy from your stored fat.
Your protein levels should be 1-1.5g per kilo of lean body mass (LBM). That may or may bot be your goal weight, but if it were you would be eating say 60-90g protein over the day. This also needs to be shared between your meals, so over 3 meals you would have 20g - 30g protein per meal. You often record protein of over 100-120g which could equate to double your requirement.
Also by not consuming enough fat and bulk from leafy veggies your body is getting signals of food deprivation rather than food plenty and will conserve energy rather than being profligate with it.
Cut back on the protein, crank up the bulky, leafy, non starchy veggies, and up the fat. Add butter and extra virgin olive oil to veggies, eat avocado!
Contrary to popular belief, if you properly read Atkins it is not high protein, it is moderate protein shared over all meals. With that in mind and very low carbs in induction the kcals HAVE to come from FAT.
Hope this helps, and hey, have patience!

Loosing weight is not easy, just stay positive and do not quit.

Blips like that all the time. You're right to look back at past progress. It will reassure you.
