It has only been 2.5 weeks, give it time.
TOM, water retention from the trip, excess salt, all kind of things could be delaying the loss, but basically it is too soon to see much movement on the scale.

I usually give it 3 weeks post trip to decide if I really have put on weight, or whether my body is just dealing with the residue of travel.

Cheers, h.

Thanks for replying! I'll leave it a bit longer! It's just cause I usually drop it so quickly and I haven't this time so I'm panicking!! Thanks again

Oh, I find travel weight gain has a mind if its own. When I was away for a couple of months this spring I got home feeling really bloated, often happens to me. Over a week later I had a day where I just couldn't stop peeing. The bloat went and half my travel weight. The rest was gone a few weeks later.
Once I was back in my regular routine everything fell into place relatively quickly.

Cheers, h.
