So, I purchased a WII & WII fit. . .and the weight that comes up on the bodyscan, is like 3 lbs lower than my normal bathroom scale. I've been sticking with the bathroom scale cuz I've been using that all along, but wondering which one is more 'right'. . .thinking next time I have a dr's appointment, I'll do it first thing in the morning so I can compare the weights. My luck, it'll be a third weight LOL

    No way to tell really. Just keep using the same scale. Even if it is off, you gains and loses will be correct.

    Trust your scale.
    The wii always asks about clothing weight.
    Which can be off.
    Naked weight on the scale will be the correct weight.

    when the wii prompts you for your "clothing weight" you should enter 0. most people enter light, or heavy, which means the scale deducts an extra 2 or 3 lbs for your clothing weight, where as your bathroom scale does not.

    My Wii Fit had me weighing in 10 pounds less than my bathroom scale last week. I put a couple of 10 pound dumbells on the bathroom scale and it was .4 a pound off...I'm sticking with the bathroom scale.

    Put a free weight or something you know the weight of on the scale and/or bodyscan and see if it comes up correctly. I use a five pound weight. If my scale reads five pounds I know it's correct. If it reads three then I know it is off by two.
