Can you predict what size you will be?

I'm nearing the end of my weight loss journey and I probably have another 20lbs or so to take off. I carry most of it in my tummy, thighs and some in my behind. That being said, is there any way to "predict" what size I might be if I take it all off? I'm debating setting a pant size goal but want to know if my goal is realistic.

info: I'm 5'4, 151lbs currently and a size 9. I have about 33% body fat.

    @kneh 13 : i think you can expect to be a size 4 or 6 at 5'4, 130 pounds!

    So I am guessing that a size 6 wouldn't be too far out of the park in this case.

    i think you will be a size 4 at your goal weight. my best friend is 5'4" and weighs 125 and she is a size 0 to 2.

    I don't think anyone can predict it very accurately. Sizes vary widely by person, it all depends on how you're built.

    It probably depends whether you tend to carry your weight in the hips/butt, tummy, or chest. If you carry your weight in the hips/thighs (like me), my guess is that you'll probably be a size 6!

    i am 5.2 ft and i am currently 131 lbs and i am right inbetween a 7/8 and a 9. 9's are loose on me but some 7/8's are still to tight or i can't get them past my hips. my hips are currently 38 inches. my goal is 125lbs and i know i will fit nicely into a 7/8 and won't get into a 5/6 with my hips!

    Totally depends on what your eventual lean body weight and body fat percentage is. Last time I lost weight, when I stupidly starved myself down to 130#, I wore a size 8. This time around, doing it RIGHT, I'm a size 2 or 4 at a little over 130#.

    In fact, I've gained weight since October and I'm a little bit smaller.

    I am 5' 3" and at 130 pounds I wore size 4 or size 6 pants. I think you are right on track to plan for that.
