I do the Biggest Loser Challenge on the Wii, and it weights you every time you use it. It said I lost 13 lbs since yesterday. I thought that was a little off, (I did my weight in yesterday), so I weighted myself on my regular scales and its says I lost 8 lbs since yesterday. Im so confused on how I can drop that much weight in one day. Would I have had that much water weight??

    depending on time of day and what you have eaten or drank that day it may have well been 5+lbs of difference. That's why it's always important to weigh yourself in the morning typically after going to the restroom. Your weight varies less.
    And yes you might have lost some water weight :)

    if you have the wii balance board on carpet it will throw it off so if you weigh yourself on an area there is no carpet that should be want ur actual weight should be.

    I have the balance board on a hard floor, but it does go up and down frequently and I dont pay attention. Only reason I second guessed it today was it was such a large amount. I thought it may of been water weight but I didnt not realize I could lose that much water weight in a 24 hours span.
