Philly Sports Chat

We’ve all seen those Nutrisystem commercials full of sports celebrities like Dan Marino, Boomer, Chris Carter and more. Well move over guys and make room for Uncle Charlie. That’s right, the Phillies’ manager has become the newest success story for the Nutrisystem Diet. It was no secret that he was trying to lose weight with this diet. The multi-year deal he made with them was announced a while ago. But now the results are in and the guy looks great.

Manuel is an excellent skipper and a good leader for this team so to Phillies fan it didn’t really matter if he was 400 pounds or 100 pounds- he was still our guy. But you can’t help but be proud of him for doing this. He amazingly slimmed down from 286 pounds to 230 pounds. That’s a total loss of 56 pounds. Nice work! Get ready to see him on billboards, print ads and commercials.

There are definitely some other athletes, coaches or Philadelphia sports personalities that should think about starting Nutrisystem after this. Maybe someone can convince Andy Reid to join in.
