The main reason that drinking water helps the body lose weight is due to the nature of fat metabolism, or the burning of fat. When your body burns fat it is done through the liver .(this is one reason why spot reduction exercises are futile, more on that later). All systems within your body work better and more efficiently when your body is hydrated. Thus if your system is well hydrated then your liver can work more efficiently at metabolizing fat.
In addition to helping the liver do it's work by staying hydrated another benefit is the calorie reducing intake effect. The more water that you drink the more likely that you will not be consuming calorie laden drinks. Drinking plenty of water also helps keep you satiated, if your full on water you may not eat as much.
There are hundreds of articles out there saying the same thing. I've included two web sites below that you can visit that paint the same picture more eloquently.
