Is there a really a difference?

Ok, I'm not really new here (started nearly three years ago), but I've never posted anything before, (though I have commented on the posts of others occasionally), so I thought this may go here, but who knows - maybe it should go somewhere else. Anyway, just wondering if there is much of a difference in three years. I mean I know I have lost some, and I do wear a bit smaller sizes, so it must be making some difference, but is it enough to be visibly noticeable. I think there is some difference, but recently a "friend" made a comment that I never change. I kinda took offense to it, since I've been working extremely hard for three years, precisely TO change. So, I'm not sure if these photos will work, but I'll give it a try:
