More scale woes-scale drift relative to increasing weight

The general rule of scales is, if you don't like what weighed today, just weight until tomorrow. :-)  This morning, just as a whim (and to establish a baseline for me on the 'new' scale. I stepped on it. It weighed me at 319 in the middle of the afternoon yesterday, so, having not eaten last night, slept, done the 'morning stuff', I stepped on the new scale. 319. And the BF monitor wouldn't read. Okay.....step on the old glass scale that read 318 yesterday (a lb difference I can deal with. 313.5. WTH?

Briallen still weighed 54.5 on the glass one, and 57 on the new one. Trevelian weighed 74.5 on the glass one and 78 on the new one.
  
             Briallen    Trevelian
glass       54.5            74.5  
new         57                78
me          313.5            319

Trevelian Drift-3.5
Briallen Drift- 2.5
Me Drift-  5.5

Does anyone out there have any ideas on relative drift based on increasing weight with regards to digital scales?

Incidentally, my old glass scale weighs a gallon of milk at 8 lbs, which, for 3.78 liters, is right on.

*sigh*

When I posted this, there was a full length side bar add for Papa John's Pizza on the right of my page.

How nice.
