Help me.. help him

Its not a ton of help but maybe he just needs to continue to watch you on your journey and eventually it will click. I am in a similar situation, my husband had what I refer to as a lean swimmers body when we met, and in our 9 years together, I have watched him flucuate all over the place. Prior to our wedding in 2009, I convniced him to go to Weight Watchers with me to lose weight for our big day. I told him I couldn't do it alone, which was no a lie, at that time in my life I knew I coulnd't sit and eat chicken and veggies while he had a domino's pizza. I needed him, and he knew he needed to lose weight so the 2 combined and he agreed. A month after our wedding I found out I was pregnant and we both stopped Weight Watchers and went back to what we had been doing and he gained sympathy weight right along with me. During my pregnancy he went for a physical and just like your husband, his cholesterol was WAY out of control, triglycerides dangerously high and high blood pressure. The doctor gave him 3 months to get in under control with diet and exercise but he didn't and now he is on meds that they say he will never be able to come off of, even if he changes. After my son was born I gave myself 3 months of slack and then it was back to Weight Watchers in May 2010. Through a combo of WW and MFP I reached my goal in April 2011 and have mostly maintained it (within a 10lb range) for over a year now. But 6 weeks ago, when I saw goal slipping away pound by pound I recommitted, added in a ton of exercise and am seeing change faster now then I did before and something about this 6 week period has motivated him! HE came to me last week and said "I need to do this, and I need you to help me". He tells me he's fat, and he's not! But he's right, he needs to do this, because like you said, I want to grow old with him. Keep doing what YOU are doing, keep telling him how good you feel, talk about your journey and even if it takes a while, he may eventually want to jump on board.

Who does the cooking in your house? Is it you? If it is then why is it difficult to cook him healthy meals as well? Drag him out for a walk after dinner and on the weekends. Tell him you just want to spend some time together. Or sit him down and tell him that you're worried about him and the results that he got from his latest doctors appointment and that you really don't want to be burying him any time soon. I disagree with some of the people who say that it'll take something bad to happen before he realizes he needs to get on the healthy band wagon because by that time it'll be too late. Do you want to wait for him to have a heart attack or a stroke? Even if you continue on your journey alone it might NOT click with him.
