Wii? Scale?

    I agree with those who have said it doesn't matter which you use.

    So long as you pick one or the other - and stick to it - then it is an accurate record of your weight and your loss. (Sounds like the wii is a better option for you than the scale if yours varies that much!)

    I use the wii to weigh in...

    The Wii says I am one weight - my scale usually says I am around 1.5kg heavier - but when I get weighed at the nurses office, I usually weigh 0.5kg lighter than the wii - so I thought the wii was the most "true to life" if we're going on the basis that the nurse should have "professional" scales!

    Doesn't matter which you use, as long as you use the same one consistently. I don't have a scale, so I use the Wii balance board. It reads lower than my doctor's office scale, but I'm at the doctor so rarely that I just disregard those weigh-ins. The actual number is not as important as seeing the trends between weigh-ins.

    I use both, but I take the scale's results as my "true" weight. With the Wii, it's usually off based on how heavy I say my clothes are. I also weigh myself in the morning first thing, but I get on the Wii in the afternoon, so there's that difference as well. I think it depends on where each is located and what times you use them.
