San Jose City Councilman Pete Constant, meanwhile, is putting his weight behind a fundraising effort for hunger programs.
Last week, he started taking part in an effort called "Donate Your Fat" (you can get more info at www.donateyourfat.org.) For every pound he and his staff lose over a 40-day period, money will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank, Church World Service and Generations Community Wellness.
Constant, whose initial weigh-in was 271.6 pounds, says he's already gotten sponsorship commitments from San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed and City Manager Debra Figone. Here's hoping Constant hits his goal.
