If you're following Induction then 1/2 & 1/2 is definitely out. Cheese, cream, & butter are the only dairy permitted. Are you actually measuring serving sizes such as your Ranch dressing? You could be taking in more carbs than you think. Do you exercise at all? Are you keeping a food journal with everything you eat and drink daily? I write down everything, the amount of it, the carbs for that item. It helps me know exactly what I'm taking in. Serving sizes are important just like on other diets. If 1tbsp of Ranch has 1 or 2 g of carb (depending on brand) and you're using 2-4 tbsp of dressing, your carb count will be off. You may be eating more carbs than you realize. Don't be discouraged, you haven't stuck with it very long so give it a real chance by following Induction exactly to the letter. Good luck.
