About this episode
Mikki dives deep into the often-overlooked challenge of weight maintenance. While fat loss gets all the glory, maintenance can feel like a grind—no more scale victories, compliments, or clear finish lines. Drawing on Seth Godin’s concept of The Dip, Mikki explains why maintaining your results is not the easy street people expect but rather the phase where the real work begins. She unpacks six key reasons maintenance feels harder than dieting and offers practical strategies to shift your mindset, build resilience, and find satisfaction in staying the course. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s reached their goal and now wonders, “What’s next?”
Episode Highlights:
- Why the absence of visible results makes maintenance feel harder than fat loss
- Seth Godin’s The Dip and how it relates to body composition goals
- Six psychological and physiological challenges during the maintenance phase
- How to set new goals and metrics to stay motivated
- Practical tips to maintain progress without burnout or rigidity
