Kate Hudson announced in November her goal to lose weight (just two months after giving birth). Now, we're learning more about how she plans to do that—through Weight Watchers.

In an Instagram post Sunday night, Kate revealed that she's the newest celebrity ambassador for WW (formerly Weight Watchers), through a conversation with WW queen Oprah Winfrey.

"Health and wellness is my number one and I always say what works for me doesn't work for everyone," Kate wrote, explaining that she knows that not everyone will enjoy the same workouts or foods in their weight-loss journey.

That acknowledgement of diversity is why Kate became a WW ambassador. "I've become an Ambassador for the WW family because it is the perfect community for people to live healthy their own way."

Weight Watchers operates on a points system, called SmartPoints, which assigns users a daily points target based on their current weight and goals. WW also assigns points to foods based on their nutritional content—and the idea is to track those food points to make sure you're within your daily points goals.

In the Instagram video, Kate also revealed more about why she wants to lose weight (25 pounds, to be exact, for a film she's shooting in the spring). "My why is really my kids and my family and longevity and wanting to be here as long as I possibly can," she said. "It's really about the holistic approach to weight loss."

But, according to Kate, WW isn't only about dropping pounds. "This is not a community for people who just want to lose weight, although leading a healthy lifestyle lends itself to such," she wrote. "This is a community about supporting each other through a life long journey of wellness."

Kate's already hopping on the workout train, posting a photo of herself hitting the gym over the weekend, and TBH, she's already looking pretty amazing.

IDK about you, but I am definitely looking forward to more Kate-Oprah FaceTime calls about her progress soon.

If you are on a weight loss program, you probably thought bagels were off-limits and normally you'd be right. But these 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels are a game changer.

Read on to find out how to make them and when you are done check out our 2 Ingredient Bagels with Cinnamon Sugar Topping. You won't regret it!

The secret to these Weight Watchers two ingredient bagels

The secret to these 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels is fat free Greek yogurt. Fat free Greek yogurt is 0 points on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan and is one of the main ingredients in these bagels. The crazy thing is that you cannot taste the yogurt at all in these bagels. Give these Greek yogurt bagels a try and see for yourself! You won't believe that you are able to eat these and stay on program.

One final note before I share how to make them - these are called 2 Ingredient Bagels, since the bagel is made from flour and fat free Greek yogurt.  You do add some toppings like and egg wash and seasoning so technically, it might be more than two.

These bagels use self rising flour which you can buy pre-made or make yourself. I make my own self rising flour and have always had wonderful results.

How to make self rising flour

1 cup flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

Sift together the above ingredients and use whenever a recipe calls for self rising flour. This will make 1 cup of self rising flour.

How to make Weight Watchers bagels

To make 4 bagels, combine 1 cup of self rising flour and 1 cup of Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt in a bowl until a dough starts to form. If you just want to make 2 bagels, just use ½ cup of flour and ½ cup of yogurt. The rest of the recipe remains the same.

This dough will be pretty crumbly at this point. Turn on a lightly floured surface and brush your hands with a bit of flour.

Knead until dough forms and divide into 4 parts. I weigh my dough on this scale to make sure I have 4 equal pieces.

Roll out the dough balls to form a "rope" and pinch the ends together to make a circle.

What toppings can I use for this Weight Watchers bagel recipe

Brush bagels with an egg wash and sprinkle with Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Everything bagel seasoning is amazing! I use it on bagels, eggs, avocado toast...everything!

You can also top these with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you prefer.

Bake at 350 degrees for 23 minutes and 500 degrees for 2 minutes so the tops can brown. These are our favorite baking sheets from Nodic Ware.

I like to cut these in half and spray them with a few squirts of Parkay Vegetable Oil Spray which has zero calories. You can also toast these everything bagels, use them for a breakfast sandwich or freeze them for use later.

If you are looking for a more traditional chewy bagel texture, then check out these 3 Ingredient Bagels which are boiled from Dward Cooks. They are only 4 points each.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use Greek Yogurt in these bagels?

Plain Greek yogurt works best since it has the best consistency when combined with flour. The fat content of the Greek yogurt doesn't matter, but you will have to adjust the points accordingly.

Can I freeze WW 2 ingredient dough?

You might be tempted to make the dough ahead of time and just defrost it when you want bagels. But I wouldn't advise it. This dough does not freeze well. It doesn't take very long to take from scratch, so I always do that just before I plan to use it.

Do I need yeast to make these bagels?

No, this is a no yeast bagel recipe.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• Combine 1 cup of self rising flour and 1 cup of Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt in a bowl until a dough starts to form.

• Turn dough on a lightly floured surface and brush your hands with a bit of flour.

• Knead and divide into 4 parts.

• Roll out each dough ball to form a rope and pinch the ends of each rope together to make a circle. You will have four bagels.

• Beat one egg and brush over the bagels and sprinkle with Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel seasoning.

• Bake at 350 degrees on a pan sprayed with cooking spray for 23 minutes and 500 degrees for 2 minutes so the tops can brown.

2019 Ford Focus St Line Performance

2019 Ford Focus St Line Performance

Remember when Ford decided that it was killing the Fiesta in the United States (again)? With it went the likes of the Fiesta ST, meaning that we lost one of the smallest, most fun little hot hatches that scooted around the streets. But don't worry. Ford has found the solution. After 2017 proved to be its best year to date for SUV sales, the Detroit-based automaker decided that it was going to make a performance variant of something. This is the Ford Edge ST.

Under the hood sits Ford's 2.7-liter V6, equipped with two turbochargers to produce a respectable 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. With the Edge weighing in around 3,600 pounds, this gives around a 15 percent better power-to-weight ratio than the 2018 Focus ST, which will be needed to make up for the unfortunate placement of an automatic transmission. The eight-speed auto gearbox was chosen likely due to the vehicle being an SUV, rather than equipping it with the familiar manual gearbox which lives in every other ST-badged vehicle (though you do get the option to use flappy-paddle shifters on the back of the steering wheel.)

Ford mentions that it has ST'ified the suspension for superior handling, but fails to mention if anything was done about the Edge's poor turning radius. After driving an Edge and owning a Focus ST for a few years, I can vouch for the turning radius to be roughly the size of the equator. Ford's first punch into the ST lineup sold in the States, the Focus, comes equipped with an electric steering rack that features variable ratio steering. In 2016, Ford then moved this technology into the Edge platform, meaning that the steering is likely as good as it's going to get.

vai Ford

Ford embodies a similar grille approach to the Focus ST, yet leaves a very aggressive police-interceptor look in place that is still appropriate for a consumer-grade vehicle without looking like it's on the job. Big brakes, a flashy color, and modernized design just make the big ol' grocery hauler a bit more than that. Ford wants to push the vehicle as a "performance SUV," subtly hinting that it should be compared in a similar class to the family of go-fast Jeep Grand Cherokee models.

"Edge ST puts a new animal on the road—a performance SUV with a track mentality," said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford's executive vice president of Product Development and Purchasing. "From a performance standpoint, and with its SUV silhouette and versatility, it sets a new standard Edge fans will love to drive."

A quick glance over makes it seem like an inflated, edgier (no pun intended) Focus ST with the inner-dad in mind. It has the convenience of a larger vehicle with the heart of a hot hatch, and most of the cool still intact. Ford even put a little video together (featuring a familiar face from Donut Media) of the new performance SUV to showcase its sportiness.

via Ford

Technology was also a big focus of the Edge ST. Ford has introduced a series of Level 1 autonomy features including assistive steering to avoid collisions, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warnings, and more. Additionally, the Edge will keep Ford's Sync 3 platform and enable Amazon Alexa in the vehicle. This means that the Edge will be a connected vehicle, also having a wireless hotspot for up to ten devices in the car.

To be honest, when we heard that there was going to be a new ST-branded car, we pretty much considered everything else, calling the edge "not the craziest thing" Ford has done. As it turns out, that's exactly what the manufacturer had up its sleeve. Sure, it's automatic, and yes, it's an SUV, but I'd take it as a daily driver. Considering other competitors in its class are a lot more boring for the buck (I'm talking about your, Kia Sorento and Nissan Murano), the Edge ST might be a great call for millennials to buy more SUVs.

Touareg 2020

Touareg 2020

Enlarge 1 videos Enlarge 12 photos

PROS

• Impressive luxury-car refinement
• Clever new multimedia system
• Adaptable handling characteristics
• 3.5-tonne towing capacity

CONS

• There's no disguising its bulk on the road
  
• No seven-seat option
• Another entry in a crowded market sector
• Touareg R is the only plug-in version

Volkswagen Touareg SUV rivals

Volkswagen is keen to remind buyers that the Touareg SUV is now, and will always be, its flagship car. It's always been an imposing technical marvel, but since the departure of the Phaeton, it sits alone at the top of the VW price list – and it's up against some very impressive rivals.

Considering this opposition includes the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Land Rover Discovery and Mercedes-Benz GLE, it's understandable that Volkswagen has thrown its developmental kitchen sink at this car. This explains why it has packed the Touareg with a range of cutting edge technology to make it the best driving, most advanced vehicle it offers.

On paper, it looks like the Touareg is more than capable of answering the questions posed by its rivals, as well as being an interesting alternative to more traditional luxury saloons.

• Read more: Touareg R plug-in hybrid detailed

Bold styling and engineering

The Touareg is wider and longer than its predecessor, and boot space grows from 697 litres to 810, and there's more room for passengers, too. Although it's a gargantuan Volkswagen, it's smaller than rivals such as the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90.

The third-generation Volkswagen Touareg has an extensive package of technology inside and out. Its styling more than hints at the smaller Volkswagen T-Roc, Tiguan and T-Cross while the interior takes a huge step forward over what came before, bringing it in line with its premium-badged rivals. In the metal, it disguises its bulk very effectively, and has the air of a less-imposing baby Bentley Bentayga about it.

The interior's centrepiece is what Volkswagen calls its Innovision Cockpit. This is dominated by a 12.0-inch digital instrument display also available in other VW models. This is combined with another even larger display (up to 15.0 inches) in the centre of the dashboard.

Other state-of-the-art technology includes a roadwork lane assist system, cross-traffic warnings, four-wheel steering, active lighting and cornering roll stabilisation. The height-adjustable active air suspension system and all-wheel steering promise to combine to make this an agile car on the road.

It's a hugely safe car, as confirmed by its five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating. There is no seven-seat option (there never has been on the Touareg), unlike its principal rivals, the Audi Q7 or Land Rover Discovery, and this goes some way towards explaining why it's smaller on the outside than those cars. The interior is a masterclass of quality materials and precision-fit assembly.

Model and engine options

The Touareg is available with a pair of diesel engines – the same 3.0-litre diesel motor, in 231hp and 286hp forms. A 340hp, V6 petrol is also offered. The only gearbox option is an eight-speed automatic Tiptronic, while all cars get 4Motion four-wheel drive as standard. It also boasts a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity, which is the most any car is allowed to have under UK law.

A 463hp plug-in hybrid powertrain will join the line-up later in the form of the Volkswagen Touareg R. No UK release date has been confirmed yet.

It's also available in a myriad of model variations – starting with the entry-level SE, through the SEL, SEL Tech, R Line, R Line Tech and culminating with the stylish Black Edition model. It's a wide range with a highly competitive starting price – but does that tech and choice make it the best large SUV you can buy?

Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Top Speed

Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Top Speed

With over 700-hp under your right foot, it's hard not to get into a bit of trouble behind the wheel of a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. So much so that one owner recently got one of the highest tickets ever handed out by Michigan State Police. This unidentified joyrider was caught traveling at 110 mph over the speed limit. According to Michigan Live, officers had to coordinate over the radio to catch the driver.

This Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat went 180 mph in a 70 mph zone

Let's get right to the details. This Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat received a citation for going 180 mph in a 70 mph zone. The result is a ticket for going 110 mph over the posted limit. Michigan State Police went as far as posting a photo of the citation, only to later take it down to protect the driver's identity. To catch this speeder, MSP couldn't simply give chase. Given the speed at which the Challenger was moving, the police officers had to coordinate via radio to catch up. Officers posted further down Michigan's I-75 highway eventually managing to stop the Hellcat.

Since Michigan Live posted the speeding ticket photo, we know that it was a black 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Oddly enough, MSP did not cite this mysterious driver with a reckless driving charge. Additionally, the ticket's description indicates that it is simply "Speed (Freeway) 25+ Over." Grand Tour Nation reports that because of this, the fine was just $180. However, the driver did get four points on their license.

Here's why it had to be a Challenger SRT Hellcat

RELATED: The Dodge Durango Hellcat Was Already Silly and Hennessey Just Made It Worse

There are very few cars currently on sale capable of reaching 180 mph. The Dodge Challenger Hellcat is one of them. Since MSP stated that the car cited for the speed was a 2016 Dodge Challenger, from there we can deduce that it most likely was a Hellcat. In 2016, the two most powerful Challengers were the SRT 392 and the SRT Hellcat.

There's no denying that it could have been an SRT 392 because its 6.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine develops 485 hp. As a result, in ideal conditions, it tops out at 182 mph. However, the driver in this scenario would've needed a tremendous amount of open road to max out their car. Since the stars would need to align for this to happen, it seems less likely.

Given those figures, the car in question is likely a Challenger SRT Hellcat. The Hellcat's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 develops 707 hp and has a top speed of 199 mph. The result is that the Hellcat can reach the magic 180 mph figure at a much quicker pace. The Hellcat's quicker acceleration also means it would need less highway to get up to speed.

Dodge is one of the most ticketed brands around

Don't think that just because you don't own a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, you're safe from speeding tickets. According to Forbes, four dodge models fall under the top 10 most ticketed cars on the road. In fifth place is the Dodge Dart. Following closely behind are the Challenger, Ram 2500, and Charger. If anything, Forbes' analysis shows that you don't need a high horsepower car to garner unwanted attention. While you most likely won't reach 180 mph, your odds of speeding noticed are not in your favor.

The BMW K1300R is a naked motorcycle made by BMW from 2008 to 2015. When launched, it replaced the K1200R as BMW's flagship urban motorcycle. BMW says the K1300R produces 173 hp (129 kW) @ 9,250 rpm and 140 N⋅m (100 lbf⋅ft) torque @ 8,250 rpm from its 1,293 cc (78.9 cu in) inline-four engine.^[1] The engine was subtly modified by British company Ricardo plc.^[2] It has an exhaust butterfly flap to boost torque and improve exhaust note.^[3] The K1300R features BMW's optional ESA-II electronic suspension adjustment. The bike also has a conventional indicator switch instead of the usual BMW three button configuration.

The K1300R is considered a muscle bike, a slang term for naked or standard motorcycles that put an emphasis on high power output and fast acceleration. Its close gearing and exceptionally broad power delivery provide the drive output power necessary to accelerate quickly, while its long wheelbase and low and canted mounted engine help the motorcycle plant the power without unintentional power wheelies. In tests carried out by Bike Magazine in the UK, its 2.81 second 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time made it the fastest accelerating naked motorcycle, beating its next closest competitor, the Suzuki B-King, by one tenth of a second.^[4]

Throughout its production run, K1300R has never been offered for sale in the United States despite being offered in the smaller Canadian market.

On 20 December 2013, Bollywood film Dhoom 3 featured a modified BMW K1300R ridden by Aamir Khan.^[5]
