wii scale and bathroom scale... do not agree. that's all there is to it. the other day, my bathroom scale told me i'd lost 1.4 lbs... the wii scale said i'd gained 0.2. grr. carpets and where you place the wii board, etc, will change what it says... i've surrendered and put the wii board as close to the tv as possible, because that's where i get the lowest measurement... and i know i'm going to move it there if i don't like the number. =). whatever scale, and whatever the number... just keep going forward! you can do it!!! 

I have a similar issue with the wii board. Recently we move the wii to our basement...I weighed in and it said I gain 3 lbs. In 1 day?? When I didn't even change any habits...?? I was totally upset. I think that you (and I) are better off going by what your bathroom scale says. The next morning I weighed myself on the bathroom scale and I was still on track. I do like the wii but it's not always reliable.  

i want to see what happens when i move in 3 weeks... entirely totally hardwood floors... no carpets to influence my wii board. i'm assuming there'll be a jump in my weight, but most of my challenges will be over by then, and i'll switch to my bathroom scale. (need a new one, because its about 4 years old... hence using the wii scale so far). 

The first 2 weeks I weighed in on both scales they were exactly the same, so that's why I was confused yesterday. But like you said, I'm going to go by the bathroom scale since that's what I've been using since day 1. I know my results will be more consistent that way.
