Im doing pretty good staying under and within my calories. But about one day a week I do go all out. And then all those pounds I worked hard to burn are back and I have start back from the beginning all over again. It's a game of chutes and ladders with my weight. Those calories I saved up don't even matter. I need some help. How do you all out there do it? Success with this? Success stories? Tips?

    You do realize that the "weight" you gain after you splurge is likely mostly water weight? Unless you're consuming 3500+ calories above maintenance on your cheat day, you're not actually gaining those pounds back. It's just water retention. Give it a few days and it'll disappear again.
