He needs some motivation and he needs to know that dieting doesn't mean giving up yummy food. Introduce him into foods that are tasty and healthy (that is the first link i provided). Secondly, he needs to realize that working out can be fun. Maybe an at home excercize video (billy blanks -TaeBo is very energetic) or a buddy to work out with. But if you are just trying to push this on him into this, it won't work as effective as if he actually wanted to lose the pounds.

I am sorry to hear that. You cannot do much, I am afraid.
Tell her how you feel about it . Ask her for permission to take her to a doctor and if she accepts, excellent. After that it is up to her to decide what to do.
It is very likely she won't do anything about it and you will have to learn to accept she owns her body. You will have done the best you can, do not feel guilty.

They have to want to lose weight for themselves. It doesn't work to lose fat for someone else. You can encourage him by joining sports or walking with him but the rest is up to them.
