Hi guys, I usually weigh myself once a week on my wii fit board and have noticed the weight can fluctuate quite alot by up to half a stone! Could this be because I am using it on the carpet or is it just rubbish? Would normal bathroom scales be better and if so, are there any you would recommend?

After joining MFP to lose a few lbs, I've been reading alot of posts on the messageboards to get some advice from others and to see how everyone else is doing.
