I too slow down and people ask me what size are you now? How much do you weigh? Rather that give them a play by play which is really none of their business, I just say, I am getting to the size I want to be! Faster than I thought possible, and I weigh 91 lbs less than I did a year ago. Just be general, they won't press the issue too much then. I did not want to dissapoint my Dr. and I wanted to lose 10 lbs per month on avg. But you CAN'T! When your body has dropped about 50% of its excess body fat, you WILL SLOW down and you won't be able to help it! I am losing 4-5 lbs per month now, and that is OK with me. Tell them this is a three year journey. The band does the most for you the first year, but for three years you can expect weight loss to occur if you follow a sensible eating plan. I am looking forward to year three now with great anticipation and I am going to work harder at toning up now too. Best Wishes!
