I weigh myself with my wii board. Well while picking up the living room I realized one of the feet thingys were off of the wii board.. wouldn't that effect the weigh in or no? I hope not... it showed me losing 2lbs this morning.. I was so excited but now I'm bummed because it might not be accurate :(

    It would probably be more accurate if you can find the foot to reattach, or something approximately the same size as the other feet to shove in.

    Yeah I found the foot.. thats how i knew it wasn't on the board.. found it sitting where i keep the board. I guess I'll weigh tomorrow and see what it says..and if it changes i'll log it

    Id say re-weigh yourself tomorrow with the foot back on!! Also... put it on a hard surface not carpet!

    I had this problem with my Wii Fit board, it also shown different figures if I stood it on carpet or my yoga mat (much like a normal scale would really) and it varied too much if I went toilet first/worked out before hand/drank water. Something which my actual scales doesn't seem fooled by. In my opinion it's more accurate to use a set of digital scales.

    ok maybe I described the wrong..there are feet.. but these are circles that attach to the feet.. not sure if they are stablizers or what...

    Besides not noticing that piece was missing.. I usually don't have a problem because I try and place it on the carpet at the same place each morning..and I always do it right when I get up and after I go to the bathroom and before I eat or exercise

    Make sure you don't put it on carpet when you weigh in. If your living room is like mine, and there's no hard surface near the wii, bring in at least cardboard, but better, plywood, and weigh on that.

    The carpet will make your results fluxuate enough to make you lose your mind.

    I would think that too.. but for the last 3 weeks.. its been going down.. be different if it was going up and down. I see what your saying though
