Charlie Manuel’s Before & After Nutrisystem® Diet Pictures
Posted by at 11:01 pm ET 22 Comments

I felt an updated post on the weight loss status of Charlie Manuel was in order for a couple reasons.

Reason number one was because I got this nifty little before & after screen grab from SportsNite on CSNPhilly this evening, and b.) I incorrectly reported Charlie’s “after” weight as 215 lbs. yesterday.  Apparently, I used the wrong starting weight from his diet — which was said to be 274 lbs. back in May — but it turns out he actually weighed 286.  I got this new information courtesy of NBC Philadelphia where Dan Stamm had a 5-part series last week chronicling the offseason of the Phillies skip.

From part three:

Charlie tipped the scales at 286 pounds last winter before going on a Nutrisystem diet and exercise routine.

And part four:

Manuel will arrive at Clearwater for Spring Training weighing in just around 230 pounds — an amazing 56 pounds lighter than he weighed less than a year ago.

So there.  I stand corrected and you got a bonus picture out of the deal.

    I can’t wait for Wheels to not shut the fuck up about this for the first 3 months this season.

    What a sexy little number our manager has become.

  • http://www.the400levelblog.blogspot.com OutlawPete is back and has a blog (click name!!!!)

    Wow good for Charlie. What a difference. I wonder if his head will still bobble when he comes out of the dugout.

    On another note, I have started my own Phillies blog and can’t wait to host ChatLive chats with you guys this season. I was wearing my Phillies coat for the first time in awhile today and remembered all the fun times we had last fall.

    Now his walks to the mound will be a helluva lot faster

    Good for him, especially at his age. It almost makes me want to actually do something too. Almost.

    @OutlawPete
    You named your blog the400level? How original!

    While I’m really happy Cholly did this for his health I can’t help but be a little saddened by it. He won’t be as menacing when he comes out to argue a call now. I say by mid April fans will be clamoring for the pear shaped body to make its return.

  • GTO

    He looks like a scary fat ghost in the 1st photo, and a stud in the second. I will take the Cholly who is svelte and will be able to manage our Phillies longer because of better health.

    How many calories do you burn bobbing your head during the 45ft walk from the dugout to the mound?

  • http://www.thefightins.com meech.one

    At least fifty, Gaze. At LEAST.

    What happened to the other comments? It says there’s 13 comments when I look at it from the main page, but when I click on it, there’s only 7.

  • http://www.thefightins.com meech.one

    REFRESH, Watrick. It’s the circled-arrow on your browser, or you could simply hit R5.

  • Watrick

    Ok, now I can see the comments… weird.

  • Watrick

    Yeah, I was clicking from the main page and all, I guess I just thought that would have did the trick. Guess not.

  • Brandon

    When I first saw the pictures I didn’t even think it was him.

    Good for him. Give him his own nutrisystem commercial

  • JB

    Gilf.

  • cholly chick

  • Nationals#1
