have you got a photo of yourself 23lb ago? if so take another photo today and put them side by side and I'm sure you will see a difference, especially if you make sure you wear the same clothes. I have a photo at 17 stone 5lb and a photo and 16 stone 5lb in the same clothes and my god the way the clothes hang is so different!! However purely looking in the mirror I didn't notice a difference at all. You see yourself everyday in the mirror so those little changes you make every day aren't seen but looking at the photo is like seeing a friend you haven't seen for a month or so and noticing the change in them.
