Sorry if this is in the wrong forum

had an interesting day. weighed this morning (using wii) and was 163lbs (73.9kg) went to the doctors and the nurse weighed me 154.3lb (70kg) came home checked wii board was working properly and re weighed this time was 161lb (73.03kg) (this was after a little exercise breakfast a snack and lunch)
I don't get how it can vary so much any ideas?

    I would be very surprised if they did match up!

    Measuring different times of the day affects everyone.

    The doctors scales I would hope are far more accurate. If your WII is on carpet that's also going to misreading your weight.

    If you pick with tracking with one scale and as long as its a downward trend over the month the actual number shouldn't really matter. :)

    if you stand on the same scales at 5 different times of the day you will get 5 different weights, if you stand on 5 different scales, you will get 5 different weights....

    pick one, weigh at the same time each week... and more importantly, learn to take that number with a pinch of salt. how you look and feel is much more important than a number.

    Different scales will always give you different weights. Can be very discouraging! Just stick to the one that you normally use.
