losing weight
I lost 40 lbs since my back started to hurt (went from 190 to 150). Exercises did not help, I was just converting fat into muscles, 's all. Eating less was the only way for me to do so. I would leave the table still hungry, and would go for long walks. Walking actually would subdue my appetite after 30 minutes or so. Being hungry felt nothing compared to the back pain.
Unfortunately I do not think anyone can provide any advice that would make your husband lose weight, he must make that decision himself. It is like quitting smoking (for me at least).
Sorry for not being much help, but I guarantee you that losing a lot of extra weight feels incredibly good. It will also give him more will to fix his back.
