High body fat despite loosing weight.

[Eiri]

I have lost 2 stone and only have about 7 ibs left to loose until I reach my normal weight for my BMI for my height.I run 4 to 5 times a week and do some weight bearing exercises too.I have decreased my portion sizes and reduced my intake of carbs.I eat lots of fibre,fish and mainly white meat,pulses seeds fruit and veg and bio yoghurt.Despite this my body fat is still very high when I measure it using the scales at boots and a local health reps hand held machine.I have gone down from a size16-18 to a size 12.Does any body know what I can do to reduce my body fat.

How about continuing what you've already done ? I think you've undertaken all possible endeavours in the right direction.
