Lots of people get discouraged when they keep trying and trying, and never get ranked, because someone in the family (you know who you are) is so much better.
My husband won't attempt to hula hoop anymore and I will probably never get into the skateboarding activity. One of our friends won't even get on the wii fit at all because his wife just beats him all to heck in everything.
I think it would be more motivating for some of us if we had a way to see only our own scores and no one else's. That way, we'd be striving for a personal best and it would allow us to take baby steps without feeling hopelessly outclassed in competition with someone who hogs all the top ten slots.
Is there any way to submit suggestions like this directly to Nintendo?
I think I have the blank of the original score sheet saved somewhere on my computer if anyone wants it. It's actually created in Google docs but I think you can copy it to Excel.
My 25 yr old son used our Wii when we first got it and posted what I thought were unbeatable scores but almost a year later I've beaten all of his scores. It was my motivation to prove that my 52 yr old body could beat his a**!

Yes it can easy saved in Excel using the Menu. By some names of persons it is necessary to remove additional line-feeds, because the do copy and paste of the complete cell and not only the entry.

I might be wrong BUT I think that the OP was referring to the Wii Fit Plus Game scores IN THE GAME. If there are multiple players within the household, whoever is playing a particular game, there score will be added to the "high score" list only if there score competes with the top score.
EXAMPLE: I have all top ten spaces filled with my beginner cycling scores. When anyone else starts to play, their top score is NEVER saved because it comes nowhere near my insane scores. The other players do not get to enjoy trying to better themselves because their scores are not saved.
I do agree that it would be nice to select to only see your own scores when playing.

Yes I understand what bii mean and it would be nice if the Nintendo software include a simply "private" modus.

Attention! I did not responsibility for any trouble you get to do the following! One possible cumbersome way is to copy and swap many SD-Card. Prearrangement: Copy you're Wii Fit Plus Data file to an SD-Card. Remove the SD-Card Delete then delete the Wii Fit Plus channel and the data file from the console. Start Wii Fit Plus again and you should have it complete empty. Import all the Miis you want and then save this Wii Fit Plus data file on (all) the other SD-card(s). Using: Every time you want to change you have to copy the actual data file from the console to the right SD-Card. Changing SD-Card and copy from the SD-Card for this person the data file to the console. Now you/he/she can Play.
This is a really awesome way, but it should work if you handle the different Cards always correct. If you save from time to time the "private" folder on the SD-Cards with different file names, on a PC you have a backup. I think nobody want to do this procedure to many times.

In a similar vein, I often want to look at the high scores list just out of interest but of course you can't unless you have just played the game. So I would like to see an option to view the high scores tables somewhere, maybe a similar thing to the calorie check area/MET explanation - that type of thing

Much as I like Wii Fit Plus (I've lost 36 lbs. so far!), there are a number of things I would change about it. At the top of my list would be making it possible to reset the scoreboard for a particular activity to blank. Currently, I think the only way to get rid of scores is to delete a Mii, but then you lose all your graph data, which I really don't want to do.
