    loosing fat at home or at the gym

    Hi guys,

    I am new to this forum. I am 25 years old, 1.80 m height and 250 pounds and I am trying to loose some weight. I've always been like this and even at this weight I don't actually look fat, but rather chubby which might be because of the robust structure I have.

    I used to be at 209 pounds 3-4 years ago when I went to the gym regularly, but not anymore - as most of the people nowadays, I have a very sedentary lifestyle (I do software for a living).

    So, my question is what are the options, given the fact that I am not really a noob when it comes to body building ?

    1. work out at home - I have:
    - 1 pair of barbells (11 pounds each)
    - 1 pair of barbells (22 pounds each)
    - 1 pair of barbells (44 pounds each)
    - one rope (which I sometimes use in the morning after all my neighbors are off to work)
    - one exercise ball
    - feets which I can use for jogging

    2. go to a gym - the drawback to this is that I'll have to go after job and this could mean late in the evening (9:30 pm - 10:30 pm) when I might not actually be very motivated. The good thing is that I could get access to a box bag which will probably help me a lot - from the past experiences it seems like rope jumping and boxing makes me loose the most weight.

    Also, if you have any advices, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Go to the gym. Do a routine from the sticky threads such as all pros simple beginner routine. Read macro calculation sticky thread in nutrition forum. Adjust your calorie intake until you are losing about 1.5lbs a week.
