I'm more concerned about the change in weight (a general downward trend) than the actual number too, in the big picture. So I guess the real reason I don't use the Wii Fit Scale is because the Wii is downstairs in the family room, and I don't want to have to go down there in my nightie first thing in the morning and fire up the Wii and projector just to do my weigh in when I've got 3 kids clamoring at me for breakfast.
