Realistically speaking, how much weight can one lose in 83 days?

Strict vegetarian diet, no sugar drinks (nothing BUT water), walking to and from work (about a mile each way) as opposed to taking a cab to work and working out 7 days a week for 25-30 minutes (maybe an hour on some days).

The workouts are a mixture or Zumba classes, spinning classes, cardio, and weight lifting.

Thanks in advance!

    a pound a week should be doable.

    Now take all of what you're doing and add a calorie deficit.

    Were the answers you received not to your liking?

    Moderate calorie deficit, losing a pound a week pretty much covered it.

    agree with the others.
    Eat less than your body needs, and you will lose weight.
    About 1 lb a week is good.
    Somtimes it will be more, sometimes it will be less....but as long as you are trending in the direction you want, then you are good.

    in a healthy way?
    about a lb a week, per the above.
    Strict vegetarian diet, no sugar drinks (nothing BUT water), walking to and from work (about a mile each way) as opposed to taking a cab to work and working out 7 days a week for 25-30 minutes (maybe an hour on some days).
    are you at a caloric deficit?

    Nope, not really. Just thought over the years people would stop being so sassy. Guess that's unrealistic to expect :)

    It does all depend on your calorie defecit. I am also a vegetarian, I walk wherever possible though I don't do much workout apart from a few weights at home - the weight is coming off though :)
    If you want extra friends on your journey feel free to add me.
    Good luck with your goals

    Thas sounds pretty grim. If your a vegetarian for ethics or personal choice that's great but it's no miraculous way to lose weight you can get fat vegetarians, I was a fat Vegan (now I'm a smaller one). If though you are drastically changing your diet in the hope that it aids weightloss statistically your more likely to fail. How about just eating your normal foods at a calorie deficit add a bit of exercise and you'll lose weight.

    Why vegetarian? Why 83 days? The restriction to ONLY water seems a little severe.

    I've been a Vegetarian for 7 years. My personal choice. I'm not doing it for weight loss.

    Why do you need more of the same answer, do you want good advice which has already been given or are you waiting on someone to tell you what you want to hear?

    You got like 8 but they were all the same...

    If you wanted 2-3 different answers here...

    about 12lbs or 6lbs...there now you have 2-3 answers. Realistically per your post....

    Unrealistic answer 22lbs (2lbs a week) or 33lbs (3lbs a week) Per the above comment.

    I've lost 5lbs in that time frame. (Strict vegetarian, only tea or water, walking 6 miles a day.)
