Rex Ryan Discusses Losing 105 Pounds

Normally talkative  Jets coach Rex Ryan is now ready to chat about his weight-loss surgery.

Once weighing 348 pounds, Ryan wanted to wait until he lost at least 100 of that. More than two years after having the Lap-Band procedure, Ryan is down to about 243 pounds.

Ryan said Thursday the device forces him to practice portion control. He still eats Mexican food, but where he'd once have 10-12 tacos in one sitting, now it's just one.
