How accurate do ya'll think WII Fit is???? It's telling me I lost 13lbs???? Which is awesome...but shouldn't I be down a clothes size???? Surely all my working out didn't make me build that much muscle???

    I weigh weekly on doctor's scales and daily on the wii fit. Our wii fit is about 3 pounds lighter than the doctor's scales. However, it has been accurate on total weight lost. So... ?? Are you weighing the same time each day, wearing the same clothing?

    I find it to be pretty accurate, but to be sure you should measure! it really is easy and prob not 100% accurate but will give you a pretty good idea! Good Luck!

    Well, I say go by your waist size as well since you can gain muscle. Wii Fit or not, always weigh in the morning before breakfast, at least once a week. I measure my waist size to see if I've lost weight.

    Have you recently moved your balance board? Sometimes that makes mine mess up. It also depends on carpet, floor, etc.

    Your best bet is to get a simple scale and compare the two. Also, make sure you register how heavy your clothes are.

    What is your favorite activity on the Wii Fit?

    I've found it best to use it on a hard surface. So if you use it in a carpet area, place a board underneath or something. I can weigh one day and the next it will say a 7 pound loss. What?! Then the next day a 8 pound gain. I don't rely on mine as a scale, plus I think one of the sensors is broken or something.
