scales question

[katieangel]

can a weighing scales weigh you lighter than you actually are the reason i ask is my wii fit is weighing me about a half stone lighter than the scales in the chemist so i tested my weight on another scales and it is also weighing me lighter but not the same as the wii fit and now i am confused please help

My scales at home always weighed 2lbs lighter than the pharmacist's scales so I knew what to expect each week when I went to get weighed. The Wii fit scales I find can be very different to normal scales. I go by my scales in my bathroom and I know where I am with them.

Wii fit isn't that accurate.

Best idea is to stick to one set of scales.

For me there's a difference of 5-6lb between 4 diff scales, so I'm just going by the chemist and gym one's

Hi,
My scales weighs me in at almost half a stone lighter than the pharmacists one! Its true what the others say, every scales is different and thats why its best to stick with the one scales

Yep like the others say stick to one set, same time of day, same sort of clothing same time of the week.

My chemists scales weighed me around 6lbs lighter than my home scales, the wii fit 3lbs lighter than the chemists.

I always weigh myself on the wii fit, once a week, wearing only me pants and after getting up and going for a wee :giggle:

Hi i weighed myself today on my wii fit and then remembered i had to change my height from 5'4 to 5'5 (i'm taller than i thought lol), in the space of a minute i had put on a couple of lb but my bmi went down. I was going to go by my wii fit but think i'll buy some digital scales now.

yeah wii fit is great for exercise not so great for correct weight
