Wii Fit Question

I've been using the Wii fit for over a month now and have been ignoring that it consistantly says that I am 7 lbs lighter than what my scale tells me. Mind you now, my bathroom scale is a dinosaur and I've been trusting its reading with a grain of salt. I am not sure which to believe.

For those of you who have a Wii Fit, do you have the same problem or is it pretty accurate with your other scale?

If, in fact, the Wii Fit is correct, then I have officially made my goal! I'm anxious to hear your answers.

    i found this too, there are different options when you weigh yourself,

    with 1kg of clothes, 2 kgs of clothes, and 0kg of clothes, which option are you using,

    when i had all my clothes, i used the 2kg button

    but then i used the 0kg of clothes, with nothing on (shhhhh)

    and the two results were different

    Nothing?! HAHAHAHA....ok....I won't tell anyone.
    I always wear my same tee and shorts and usually use it at the same time of day.
    How much of a difference does your say?

    the wii fit is fun, but I find the design of how it reads balance, weight, height and upper body movement a little off. I know there were several threads earlier about the wii fit, maybe they talk about your problem, soupy?
    I can't find them right now though, Im at work (sshhh dont tell)
    Anyway, 4lbs of clothes really isnt that much weight. Esp if you are wearing sneakers or shoes.
    Remember you have to account for a range of up to 5 lbs difference for water weight per day.
    Maybe the best way is to try it nakey and fully clothed in the same hour or so and get the difference that way?

    You said nakey....LMBO.
    OR.....maybe I should ignore my scale and go with the Wii Fit number.:bigsmile: I think I'll do just that.

    I don't have a scale other than the WiiFit, but the women's room where I work has a scale in it. A very accurate scale, in fact, of the style used for weighing goods for trade. Who put it in the women's room and why, I don't know. I find the WiiFit to be accurate, but it all depends on what you say you're wearing.
