The thing is that you're displaying them at only 72 dpi on the forum, so any loss in image quality will probably not be viewable. If you look at those same images in your graphics program, zoomed in significantly (300+ percent) so that you can see the enlarged individual pixels, can you see a difference?

While jpg is lossy, it is an excellent algorithm, so that when an image is saved at the lowest compression (highest image quality), the difference vs. the original isn't that noticeable. But try the same test with the highest jpg compression (lowest image quality), and the difference will be much more noticeable.
