Maybe this will help. I have a morbidly obese friend (about 5'8" and 400lbs) and a few years ago he slipped at a gas station and tore his knee up. He rehabbed it but the doctor told him one more slip and fall/injury and he'll be wheelchair bound.


We have a mutual friend who is a dietician, and he offered to help him lose weight and make some healthy changes, and develop an exercise program suited for him, to which the guy agreed.


I think in the end, the guy lasted about 8 weeks on his program, with a registered dietician keeping personal track of him daily, before he gave up and went back to his old habits.


Personally, I feel like it's such a far-reaching life change, your friend will have to really, really want it for it to stick and take hold long term.
