Current weight and about Athena

My current (starting) weight is 154 lbs.  I am hoping to lose about 15 lbs and the water should help with that.

I realize i did not explain much about the Athena water filter so here's the skinny: The Athena filters water so that it is highly alkaline and antioxidant.  The water we drink from bottles or tap is extremely acidic and in order to have healthy function (90% of blood is water), we need to have alkaline water in our system.  You can look up the tech specs on how this filter makes water alkaline by checking out the website: www.ionways.com they have different models also. 

So when i checked the pH levels of the different waters (bottle, tap, filter), I was checking for the level of alkalinity or acidity in the water.  So for example, the bottle water came up as pH level 4 - acidic! Tap water was pH 6 - neutral.  Athena water all came up around pH 9.5-10 - very alkaline.  this is very healthy water and causes your body to detox.  One of the reasons for weight gain is acidity in the body (not just the stomach but the blood) and it can be healed by drinking alkaline water along with diet, exercise, etc.  Acne is another issue that can be triggered by acidity in the blood.  So my purpose here is to document if the alkaline water from the Athena filter does affect these things.
