Do you use Wii scales?
Im sorry if this topic has been done to death but I've always used Wii to track weight loss etc but recently I've noticed that it appears to have me at 5lbs more than my analogue scales, my MIL's weight watchers scales and the scales at the gym..

Night time
It it ok to eat at night time if you wake up hungry and have calories left to use up?

Night time temptations...
