Slow Progress, but I think it's Progress!

So, I've been battling with my weight for years. I've been on my latest attempt for about 2 months now, and due to various ups and downs have only lost 6lbs. However, people keep saying I look a lot thinner generally, only, I can't see it :(

So I'm posting some before and after shots, and you guys can tell me if I'm getting somewhere :)

This first one was taken on 24th May, 2010:

This next one was taken on 12th June, 2011

This third one was taken on 12th October 2011, the day I went on holiday (I'm on the left, in case you were wondering :) )

And this last one was taken on 17th January 2012, and is the most recent photo I have where I'm not bundled up in lots of layers (although I'm wearing a hockey shirt, which doesn't help, I know!)

I'm hopeful I've at least made SOME progress over 2 years - I have a feeling it might be more than 6lbs total, but 6lbs is what I've lost in the last couple of months :)

    I hope that helped, maybe someone else could help with the rest. great work non the less, 6lbs in 2 months is great. As long as the scale is going down, not up

    Thank you!

    I managed to figure out the photos, just needed to change some stuff from upper to lower case :)

    Yep, as long as the scale goes down, it doesn't matter how long it takes. Although that 2010 picture is horrible, I think I MUST have changed from THAT!
