    My Wii Fit scale is pretty close to my bathroom scale. Do you have a digital bathroom scale?

    That may be your problem, the old style bathroom scales are not accurate at all.

    I would believe the balance board. They're pretty accurate.

    Are you using them on the same kind of floor? A carpet can make a big difference. Hard floors are better.

    My balance board was bang on with my digital bathroom scale - so I think it's time to get a new bathroom scale. But it's all relative, so just pick one and stay with it. If you use the Wii Fit for recording and exercise, then stick with that one.

    If your goal is losing weight, then you should try to weigh yourself on the same scale every time. Consistency is key. That way, regardless of which scale is more accurate, you'll know if you're losing or not. Good luck!

    My wii balance board is usually very very close to the digital scale in the bathroom.

    My Wii Balance board is pretty close to my digital scale also. However, neither of them seem to match the WW scale but both are about 5 lbs off the WW scale. I am convinced that it has something to do with the fact that at home, I use the scale and the Wii board on hardwood floors and WW is on a carpeted floor.
