Wife and I have joined weight watchers, lol. I have lost about 6 lbs since mid October. Not a whole lot, so nothing to brag about, but at least it is not 6 lbs up. Guess I try to make myself feel good for every little loss there is. :D
6 lbs in a month is good progress and will add up over time. Slow and steady is the best way to go. The recommendation is no more than 1-2 lbs lost each week for the best long term results.
I average losing around 2.5 lbs per month and while that may not seem like much, over 2 years I have lost more than 60 lbs.
