Your GLP-1 Goal Weight Was Never the Real Finish Line w/ Suzy Chase

Send us Fan MailReaching your goal weight on a GLP-1 can feel like the finish line, until the scale jumps two pounds and the old panic rushes back. In this conversation, Ana Reisdorf and Suzy Chase unpack why maintenance is a different job from active weight loss, how strength and cardiovascular fitness can replace “smaller” as the goal, and how Suzy uses AI-assisted tracking to put day-to-day changes into context. The question underneath it all: does every change on the scale actually require a response?**SPONSORS**Tyde Wellness:https://tydewellness.com/GLP1HubUse code GLP1Hub50 for $50 off your first month.CaloCurb:https://www.calocurb.com?sca_ref=9166165.VWG4rbmn6mUse code ANA10 for 10% off.**IN THIS EPISODE**- Why maintenance can feel more psychologically complicated than active weight loss- What two years in maintenance have taught Suzy about chasing a specific goal weight- Why a small scale change can feel urgent without automatically requiring a corrective response- “Training for 80”: shifting the goal toward strength, cardiovascular fitness, mobility, and independence- What Suzy logs, including weight, activity, HRV, sleep, travel, and workouts- How looking at weekly and monthly trends can keep one number from controlling the entire day- Using AI-assisted tracking as an emotional pause, not a replacement for medical guidance- Finding movement you enjoy and making an early-morning routine automatic- Why Suzy’s maintenance philosophy is to “stop shrinking and start building”**ABOUT THE GUEST**Suzy Chase is a NYC-based podcaster with 20 years in audio.
