Ladies and gents, have a look at the brand new, svelte manager of the Fightin’ Phils — Charlie Manuel!
With the help of the NUTRISYSTEM® diet plan and some light exercising, Cholly has gone from an unhealthy 274 lbs. to a manageable 215 lbs. and has also dropped from a size 60 jersey down to a 52!
Way to go, Charlie, I knew you could do it!

General
awesome!
wow, that is really great. he looks like a whole new guy!
as Charlie himself would say, “that’s good”
Now he doesn’t look like a Phillies manager. I miss the cheesesteak gut.
WHOA!!!! Nice!!!
Epic shirt/tie combo, skinny.
Lookin’ good Uncle Cholly!
He could kick Jerry Manuel’s ass.
Fuckin a.
He looks great, but i’m not sure that Philadelphians will approve. They say don’t trust anyone under a 30 (inch waist).
andy reid will eat anything you don’t, charlie. remember that.
Charlie showed up for filming that day, and still looked like his old self — clearly, the Nutrisystem product hadn’t been working as well as advertised. Not wanting to find a replacement spokesperson, Nutrisystem realized they needed to take some drastic measures. Just before filming began, they told Charlie that he’d be dressed in an outfit whose color was ‘Yankee Blue’. Charlie promptly vomited out 59 pounds of body weight. Sure, he accidentally got a little on his tie, which is why his arms are crossed. But they couldn’t do much about the I’ve-got-the-taste-of-puke-in-my-mouth look.
Good for you Charlie! Looking good! Can’t wait to see this guy lead the team out on the field for player intros on opening day.
Best manager in Phillies history. If you wanna argue that fact go ahead and try…
Musta been laying off that pasta salad loaded with the shit ton of bacon bits in it
this phillies team just keeps gettin better lookin
first it was ryan, now its charlie, who’s next? matt stairs?
Very impressive Cholly!
You’re a role model!
A la Deadspin:
Yes. HELL YES.
I really hope we get to see Charlie in one of those Nutrisystem commercials with Don Shula and Dan Marino.
It would start with Berman saying “back back back back!” and Charlie coming from off screen and punching him in his face.
can’t make jokes about how i “trust his gut” anymore.
you know like I done good
holy shit, i now feel fat.
I call photo shop.
he looks like he is ready to stomp someone. like the meats.
“That’s not old school, that’s good school” – Uncle Cholly
“Life is about having fun, but at the same time, you need to look and feel good.”
When will my time in hell end?
LOL he looks less like Elmer Fudd with the weight loss!
He’ll still be our Jolly Hick Uncle Cholly though, just a lighter one!
ugh Charlie weighs less than me now, time to diet I guess…
Aw man soon he will be wearing Shane’s new clothing line.
I’d hit th…no, wait. No, I wouldn’t. But congratulations, Charlie. You done good, son.
The nutrisystem diet? Isn’t that what McNabb ate during halftime at the superbowl… that explains it.
Cholly is a real contribute to the NutriSystem™ diet; he did real good.
I felt like…the NutriSystem food worked good, but at the same time…the exercise worked real good, too.
You look great Cholly.59 lbs that fast is a great achievment.Be careful because when it comes off fast it goes back faster.I lost 40 and gained back 10 over the holidays.Im working it off again.Good luck.
Looking good Charlie ican’t believe it I’m trying the atkins.Maybe i’ll change,now my belly bigger than his……
Keith Brooking got mad when Cholly dropped the last 7 lbs, he said he was piling it on.
+1, Droppin Fuckin Gloads
I just wanted to say that I met a fellow thefightins.com reader at Borders in Wynnwood today, all thanks to a Birdland hoodie. It was cool, I felt like I was part of a secret society.
lynnie’s post made me laugh. so did gloads.
i dont have much to say other than.. charlie is one of the few men i want to give a big ol’ hug
watrick, before we become a secret society, one of the readers has to shoot themselves after their overbearing father is too hard on them. Next, we can play instruments in the woods on the other side of the pond. I’ll stand on my desk first.. you next. Why does our teacher do coke?
Come on you know you’d hit that.
Losing weight is another anything that Charlie does better than Andy Reid. But in all seriousness, he looks great. Seeing videos from 2006, he looks like a completely different person.
@will.H
Dead Poets Society references will never get old.
ITS GON RAIN
i’d hit it!
Meech hasn’t been that jacked since he started doin roids in ’94.
You’ve never seen anyone Tom Chambers from the 3 point line on a 6 foot rim like a juiced up Meech-rocka.
He needs to be rockin the Ed Hardy Triple Wolf Moon shirt.
Way to go Uncle Charlie!
I hope this didn’t happen because Chollie came off the roids.
He obviously didn’t pick that outfit…it was definitely the work of Mrs. Hamels…and by that, I mean Cole
He was trying to lose weight and and and at the same time he now looks better.
Must be all that time with his hands down his pants. Maybe he was just looking for the spit valve.
Charlie, how do you feel now that you’ve dropped a small elephant?
you know like… when i sit in the d-dugout and see like joe maddon and his funny spectacles and all them good players that have a heal-health… good body weight i wanna be involved in that… i wanna have an identity, thats how you win ball games and feel good about yourself
He really wanted to get thinner for Brandon Duckworth’s return…..
LaSorda did the same thing ages ago, the weight didn’t stay off. LA started losing; Tommy started eating…
How I miss Charlie Manuel press conferences.
On Carlos Ruiz:
“But like when Chooch got in the lineup, when we started taking off and we started winning, I’ve left him there, mostly because he’s been playing real good and he can catch. He blocks the ball good. He receives the ball good. He’s really improved in calling the game. The pitchers really relate to him good and he throws good. “
This whole interview is actually quite entertaining. Chooch and Charlie. If you read the responses to the questions that Chooch understands and can anwer, it seems like he learned English from Chollie. He says “at the same time” a few times.

he plans to keep the weight off with his new “5th starter/bullpen” excercise regimen. it consists of walking frequently from the dugout to the mound. seriously though, looking good chollie. i’m glad he’s healthy.
I would totally give him a blumpkin.
That new look and tie make me moist!

Eh?
The lighter Charlie can still kick Eskin’s a$s. Then again, so can my daughter.
he did good
