It's all about how you feel. The number doesn't reflect anything but the way gravity interacts with your body. Water weight and muscle density are big reasons people who have been doing really well give up. If Mike sees your body changing, trust him. He probably knows it really well!
Do you feel like you have more energy? That's usually the biggest sign of a positive shift in diet/exercise. And really, sometimes people just carry more weight than others. What's more important is how well the inside is working. Me, I've never had a problem with weight, but I have a very unhealthy cardiovascular system. I need to figure out a form of exercise I like that doesn't raise my heart rate too much. As someone with anxiety, my resting heart rate is well over 100, and when I exercise, it easily gets over 200, 230, into dangerous territory. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, the point is how you feel. Even if your goal is to look thinner, don't underestimate the importance of how you feel as an indicator.
