Are you still in Induction or did you move to OWL?

Yep. It really depends where those carbohydrates come from. To maximize your weight loss, you should get most of them from vegetables.

I do at least 25 minutes of cycling a day and I do 5 reps of a different exercise each of those days.... I see little things like "wrinkles" or whatever on my stomach and am able to wear my 38 jeans comfortably but when I measure my waist it still says 43 (stomach 46) just like before.

Are you only measuring your waist/stomach? Or did the other measurements not change either?

The main thing I'm worried about is the carb stuff - I mean for example my daily meal would be few strips of bacon and 2 eggs for breakfast with some water - then for lunch usually chicken breast and some side (string cheese some mushrooms, etc but says should only be 2 net carbs for those) and for dinner more chicken (or turkey) with a side maybe cut up and used with lettuce and a couple tablesppons of dressing. I have snacks usually 2 slices of summer sausage and 1 string cheese 2 times during the day

I'll assume you're on Induction... So, are you eating your 3 cups of vegetables? Also, as I wrote above, over half of your net carbs should come from veggies.
Are you careful not to go over your cheese limit of 3-4 oz per day?
Did you check what's in the summer sausage and in the dressing? I would be surprised if all the ingredients in the sausage were legal.

I was trying 1 of those atkins peanut bar things (the 2 net carb ones) but those confuse me also... it says 10g fiber, 2g sugar and 0 sugar alcohol's but a total of 22g carb... where are those other 10 magic grams going? is that what could be pusing me over?

Those are magic carbs indeed. The "real" nutritional info should say:
22 g carbohydrate
10 g glycerol
10 g dietary fiber
2 g sugar
Glycerol is supposedly not affecting blood sugar levels, so it can be subtracted from the total carbs. Yet, FDA ruled that it does not have to be listed on the label.
The problem is that some people do metabolize those carbs as sugar, so they can have an impact on blood sugar levels.
Check the ingredients in the bars. All the peanut bars contain peanuts, so they are not allowed during Induction, as per rule #5 in the Rules of Induction (DANDR, Chapter 11):

5. Eat nothing that is not on the acceptable foods list. And that means absolutely nothing!

Plus, as Liv said, they are known stallers, despite their claimed "2 net carbs".
