The LA Times rounds up the weight-loss efforts of California lawmakers. The Distinguished Senator from Cucamonga lost 100lbs through surgery.

* Sen. Martha Escutia (D-Whittier) is down 25 pounds with the help of a personal trainer and a determination to just say no to the mounds of sweets in the Senate lounge.
