It’s no secret to anyone that drinking more water will help you lose weight. Not only does it make you feel better, it also helps in two other key areas for weight loss that I can think of right now.
1. It makes you feel full. Drinking lots of water fills up your stomach so you don’t feel hungry or the urge to eat nearly as much. Very critical.
2. It ‘lubes’ up your system. Well, this sounds kind of gross, but it’s true.. it flushes out your system if you drink …

it was way back in January when I started the ‘biggest loser’ BellAliant edition at work. I ended up winning going from 202 down to about 182 or so. As impressive as that is, I’m really happy to report that I’ve kept that off for almost the entire year (even though it’s not over yet!!).
There is no question that I learned a hell of a lot this year in regards to what it takes to lose weight, feel good, and what not to put into your body (sorry about that …

Yep, that’s right.. on both counts.
I’m proud to say that as of this morning I am down 9.2 lbs, and Liz was down 10.4 lbs as of this morning as well. How awesome is that eh? Pretty darn awesome if you ask me It’s all about what you eat.. as I’ve posted before.. I do a little bit of exercise in the way of goaltending now, but it isn’t exercise that makes you drop weight, it’s the foot you eat.
So I’m almost 1/2 way to my goal.. Liz …

As I sit here staring at my stats for the blog today.. (over 3400 hits today alone), I have to remember to keep blogging when I have a second!
Anyhow, me and Liz keep on trucking with the Weight Watchers program. I really like it, the biggest difference I find besides eating habits is that I’m really enjoying cooking good foods every night for dinner. Last night, for example.. we had steak sandwich wraps, bruschetta made with our own homemade salsa, and some tomato/cucumber with balsamic vinegar. It was delicious! And …

Well it may not be a standalone article, but you know what?? It’s on the front page right now and I’m extremely excited about that.
So since this is my busiest night (and likely day tomorrow).. I figure I’d round up some of my favorite posts for you
Welcome Lifehacker readers.. here you go:

Tim Hortons/Robins Donuts Coffee – For Weight Watchers
If you make the bride cry.. is that a good thing?
Tim Alerts Review – the good and the bad
Hate mosquitos? Do I have an awesome solution for you! (I still …

Not much to say on this one, just head to the egg.ca McDonalds site to the coupon.. just print out and enjoy! (Or you can just click on the image I have at the bottom here)
Did you know that the Egg McMuffin is 7 Weight Watchers Points? Hmm.. that really isn’t HORRIBLE since it’s fast food and McDonalds (the root of all things unhealthy).
Found that information at Health Discovery Weight Watchers Support Network along with all the other points values on McDonalds menu.

Found a ‘recipe’ for Banana Ice Cream last night and it was so stupid and simple I had to give it a go.. check this out. Weight Watchers will like this one too since a Banana is only 1 point.. A pretty big difference then the 14 point Blizzard I had the other day.. yikes!
The instructions are as follows:

Freeze some banana’s.. (I already had one frozen)
Put it in a blender…. and then (are you ready for this.. )
Blend it

As it says in the 1-ingredient ice cream Instructable, “At …

Well, besides the coffee post which I thought was really helpful for Weight Watchers fans, during our first week of Weight Watchers, I also made some really interesting discoveries thanks to my little calculator for my Blackberry which is extremely helpful (especially at the grocery store yesterday).
I hate to admit it, but myself and Liz indulged in a Blizzard yesterday.. likely THE WORST frozen treat ever consumed by man… but OH MY GOD it was good. Want to know the scary facts behind mine? Well, my favorite Blizzard treat is …

Yep.. first meeting last night.. or at least we thought it was.. ended up just getting there early enough to sign up before they closed.. (whoops).
Pretty excited about it actually, it’ll be a LOT easier for both of us to lose some weight and keep it off if we both do it at the same time. Our goals are different and if you’re familiar with the WW plans, the ‘points’ we get to spend each day is pretty radically different (I have a full 10 more than Liz every day), …
