    I vote for a combinations of cheat days and weighing.

    Seriously, I see so many frustrated people that swear by cheat days one week (I have them regularly and I'm losing), and then complain about not losing the next week or two. OP-I am not calling you a complainer at all, I'm just sharing my personal observations in a general way. There are people that say they make them work, but I have a feeling those people are still being pretty great with their portion control on those cheat days.

    One "not too" crazy cheat meal can throw an entire week off. I have been successfully maintaining while doing this. I generally don't count on Sunday, while still being conscious about what I'm eating. I am a stickler for weighing as accurately as I can during the week and I have been maintaining since January. Get a scale and be as accurate as you can. If you are not losing and you are actively trying, you are eating more than you think.

    Just looking back at your diary it does look like your cheat days are literally eliminating your deficit. Do you ever look at the net weekly calories found in the app? That will tell you your net calories over any given week week and I bet if you look back a few weeks you will see that you are pretty much breaking even.
