i weighed myself on monday on my wii fit but the batteries where low and then i did it again today with fresh batteries and it said iv lost 10lbs! i dont think this is possible! i repeated the weigh in 6 times and each time it said 10lb loss! i have been eating better and exercising loads more but i dont look 10lbs lighter! should i try different scales?

    You just said the batteries were low the first time...

    Depending on how long the batteries were low for you could have lost that weight over a longer period of time than a week.

    The weight this week is more likely to be right given you've got new batteries in the scales. That is unless you've moved your balance board onto carpet since last week.
  • not moved it i have a little mark on the floor so its same spoy each week. must have been wrong last week then!

    is it a hard floor or soft carpet as that can change the result.

    If you can get a piece of wood or something and put the balance board on that it should give a better result.
  • iv fixed it now lol my son had been messing with settings! my weekly weight loss is 3lbs which sounds more like it! thanks all i dunno how to delete posts

    I lost 9 my first week on my new eating plan, so it is possible to have retained fluids and once you eat right and drink 8 glasses of water the 1st week can result is a big loss, not typically fat...but water.
