53, male, 18 months on Wegovy — 71 lbs and a new running hobby

Long-term post for the older guys reading this. 53 years old, dad of two teens, sat in front of a screen for 25 years and ate like a college kid the whole time. Started Wegovy because my cardiologist was direct: lose weight or stay on three blood pressure meds for life. Eighteen months later I am off two of them, training for a half marathon, and I genuinely enjoy the protein-forward way I eat now. The drug got me out of the hole. The habits keep me out. I plan to taper once my weight has been stable for a year — my doc thinks it is reasonable.
