My recruiter is very honest and forthcoming about everything I need to do (including getting stuff in writing) - but a lot of recruiters only care about their ratings and getting more recruits, and especially filling certain billets. As such, they'll do whatever it takes to get people to join - and unfortunately your friends found out the hard way.
As other people said, make sure that you get everything in writing, especially your MOS. Your MOS can't be changed (except in, I suppose, very special circumstances) after you enlist, because they plan for you to fill that spot until you retire.
The weight shouldn't be a big deal - I don't think anyone would make it through basic training without getting in shape - and I know that the USMC (and I assume the other branches) have a "Rudimentary Physical Training" squad or something like that which recruits who aren't in shape get assigned to, to get them up to the level of their fellows.
