Wow, are you very tall and muscular or something? What are your actual body measurements, i.e. boobs-waist-bum. Sometimes a size 12 might fit more like a size 14 or 16 because of vanity sizing. I should be a a size 10 on top and a size 12 on the bottom according to my measurements (34-26-38), but usually wear a size 8 on top and a size 10 on the bottom. I find places like Primark and George to be the worst when it comes to vanity sizing.

Height comes into the equation as well so if your very tall you can carry the weight well, are you sure you have that right 98 kilo? I am a 12 and 5'8"
59.5 kilo =130lbs =9st 4lb
you are
98kilo = 215lbs =15st 4lb
the weight you have given cannot be correct unless you are about 6' 5"

I think weight is a bad way to measure how good a shape you are in. I'm the same. I weigh nearly 17 stone but I dont look fat yet my bro looks fatter than me and weighs 14 stone.
Just down to Bone density, height, build, muscle etc. Don't worry about it. :D

I use to be 8 stone before i started karate and now i am 8 1/2stone,
my diet hasnt changed so i am putting it down to muscle which does weigh more than fat i also feel that i look better too i have more definition to my thighs instead of the straight up and down beanpole i use to look like lol!

mucsle weighs more than fat, depends on your height and build - but a size 12 is healthy

I think your scales are wrong, 15.5 stone girl and size 12? Seems unlikely unless you're a bodybuilder.

height, muscle mass, bone structure and general build can all make a big difference in your weight, without it being mad up of fat.
