Problem with weight scale?

I have been getting the large differences in weight as posted, but has anyone noticed a problem with the weight scale.
On mine 12 stone = 75.75kg should be 76.2kg
11 stone = 74.40kg should be 69.85kg
13 stone = 77.25kg should be 82.55kg

I have and it seems it's not just you and me!

I gained 2.6kgs between 4pm yesterday and 8am today!!! When I plugged my rechargeable battery pack in so it charged while I was using the board I lost the 2.6kgs I had gained plus lost another 200gms. Last week I weighed myself at the start of my session and at the end and I lost almost 1kg in the space of half an hour. I don't have any other scales in my home so I have no idea how much I actually weigh. Judging by the graph on the Wii Fit I could be anywhere between 55.5 and 57kgs which is quite a difference (especially in one day)

Weight does change throughout the day, although not usually as much as 2 kgs. I have noticed, though, that WiiFit adds more weight if you weigh in earlier than you did the day before. If you weigh in later, it seems to take off more weight. It's for this reason that I weigh myself at the same time (give or take 10 minutes°) every morning. The results are much more consistent this way.

Very interesting! Have you check this difference with dummy load?
Personally I know that in the past my weight often changes more then 2 kgs within a day (checked with precision scales I had to calibrate).

No, I haven't checked it with a dummy load. I'll have to arrange something and get back to you on this. It will take about a week to get sufficient data.

It's odd, though, because I thought this was happening with everyone. I noticed it right away when I started weighing in using the Wii.
