Good morning!
I started this about 2 weeks ago. I AM in ketosis 
and start weight was 216.6…i started tracking and 4-5 days later dropped to 211!!!
I discovered this forum and started reading on calories…and now I’m back up to 214
Here is what I ate yesterday… And yes, drinking lots of water
Oh girl, one day is NOTHING. You obviously didn’t gain a pound of fat in one day, our bodyweight fluctuates, it’s normal. It could be 2-3 pounds too, it still means nothing, natural bodyweight fluctuations.
Two days matters little too 
Be patient and look at your weight weekly or monthly, that’s way more informative.
I just thought that ACTUALLY getting my carbs as low as 8-10 YAY ME finally! id be ‘rewarded’ … lol
You probably will get your reward but not instantly. Once I ate so well, I knew I was losing fat (slowly, I can’t do it quickly) but the scale did nothing for 2 weeks… Then it went down. Sometimes it’s even go up but it’s surely mostly water and it goes down later. Patience is needed (even though some persons are able to shed pounds like crazy. we are not them).
Of course, if you eat too much, you won’t lose, it would make no sense but it’s very hard to say what’s too much is and you probably need significantly more than 1188 kcal… I think a few of us already told you eat to satiation first, don’t worry about calories. And don’t look at the scale too often.
Did you feel "comfortable and satisfied " with what you ate? That means way more to me that how many calories it is.
Did I read that right that you have been eating keto for 2 weeks? If so, just relax and keep your carbs under 20. In spite of the media hype, keto is not a “quick weight loss” diet, but it does work for most people and it is the easiest to keep the weight off after you lose it. Weight flutuations are mostly fluid - fat is stubborn and comes off more slowly.
Your foods look fine.
You’re only eating a couple of hundred calories a day more than you were before. Over two days it’s literally impossible for that extra amount to ever equal two pounds of fat. A pound of fat is 3500 calories. This is just normal fluctuations of water and inflammation that you are seeing.
You are very early days and not yet even fat adapted. Just try not to even think about weight over the next month as your body gets used to the new diet. If you are still not losing weight by then you can begin to think about tweaking things. But most likely you will be.
The only suggestion I might make is try to favour fatty sources of meat for your fats rather than loads of things like mayonnaise. Go for real bacon rather than the low fat option if it’s an acceptable food for you. It’s a much better choice. Also try to use the highest fat ground beef for your meatballs and use up all the fats that render out during cooking.
fat is 11 in the hellmans, but 0 sugar and carbs. I thought the fat is ok, (oil? )
Without getting heavily into the science, there is evidence that polyunsaturated fats are specifically fattening and saturated fats are not. The very best source of fat is likely meat fat (especially beef and lamb). Butter isn’t bad either, but vegetable oils are far less saturated and soybean oil is really not good at all.
keep learning EVERY day, what about fats in cheese. Does it make a diff if the cheese is soft (camembert) vs brick cheese
Basically just to echo Ilana: fats are great in general but you want to pay attention to the quality of them, and soybean oil is probably not something you want in your system. Check out this article for an overview.
The fats in cheese are fine. Many people don’t do so well with dairy though. Some people won’t lose weight while eating it. My recommendation is just not to overdo it. From what you posted above you aren’t. One slice is probably an ounce which is fine. But if you find yourself eating lots of cheese and also not losing weight then try cutting it back or eliminating it.
Personally I don’t have any anymore. But, I made a pig of myself whenever I let it slip into my diet and it always resulted in weight gains. For some people dairy is as addictive as carbs, and I’m one of those.
I know right? cheese IS a food group!!! I guess just double up on calcium supplements in order to make up for less dairy
No need for calcium supplements! Too much calcium is far more common than too little. Personally, dairy doesn’t bother me but I’m not tempted to eat too much or anything (some people find it addicting). 1-2 servings a day is fine. Like others suggested, I’d try for an avocado oil mayo instead. I’d get into the habit of reading ingredients as they sneak bad things into everything
In the last week I have weighed 251, 248, 245, 248, 246 in that order. This is all empty stomach morning weights. I usually only weigh every week or so, but I’ve been off work a couple days and decided to step on the scale. Don’t obsess over the scale. As long as the clothes fit better it’s getting better.
Those are probably OK. If you can, I would try to eat these seasonally. As in, it doesn’t make sense to eat berries in the middle of winter.
I tend to eat the ones we pick in August (the season for them in CT, though it depends on the berry).
