    calibrate it , take a known weight, like a dumbell or bag of flour and see which one is more accurate then be consistant

    My bathroom scale changes...i can step on, get a reading, then step back on after it cleared, and it will say i lost 5 lbs. Thats why i decided to check on the wii today.

    Time for a new scale. Mine used to do this all the time. The cheaper they are the sooner they start to do this.

    I might just have to get another on then...My mom bought it for me this past christmas, but it was at CVS for 10 bucks
