    I bought new bottoms. I like working out in fitted capris. I quickly realized that I don't like working out in pants. I have yet to try shorts though. I'll eventually try a fitted pair. I don't want to have to worry about them riding up...lol.

    I definitely went to to lulu lemon and spent a lot of money and also got some new running shoes as well. It's the best motivation for me!

    When I first started I just used old t-shirts and comfortable shorts. But I did buy a new exercise bra b/c my chest was huge then and had to be contained.

    Once I lost a little weight then I got some new workout clothes.

    I bought a one-piece bathing suit when I started swimming regularly. Prior to that I only had a cheap bikini that was falling apart.

    I bought tiny shorts and a sports bra top when I started doing Bikram yoga regularly. The first time I went I wore pants and a top that covered my stomach, and I got so overheated.

    I bought new! I started out by joining zumba classes and I looked horrible in those old t-shirts.

    I didn't have any workout clothes when I started, so after getting completely drenched in fleece pants and a t-shirt the first time I went to the gym, I bought some shorts and dry-weave tops on the way home.

    I got some new ones, Old Navy has some compression ones that I LOVE! And there is the added benefit of being excited to put on my new clothes when I'm getting ready, giving me that extra happy element to go out and start my workout!

    Besides better groceries, I bought some spandex capris for my workouts. I also bought a DVD, kinect game, and 5lb dumbbells. Other than that I had everything I needed like an iPod, running shoes...etc.

    I dug out the old stuff and started moving. Once I felt like I could keep it going, I got (my wife got for me) some sweet Underarmor shirts, and more importantly got some properly fitted shoes. And toe socks. Have I mentioned I love my Injiji toe socks?

    When I decided to get back in shape, I went down to my basement and dug through my boxes of old clothes and got out my workout clothes from back when I was in the military and let me tell you I was like Damn! So I had to to wear my baggy sweats from when I was in Basic training and those wear somewhat snug.

    But I am happy to say I now fit my old workout clothes comfortably without make them cry.

    I wore old stuff until the pants started falling off and I felt like I was swimming in my t shirts. Then I bought new stuff. Much cuter!

    I didnt buy new clothes, wanted to save my $$ for smaller clothes. But I did buy new running shoes. If you're running, it's best to have good shoes, plus my feet arent fat.

    I started out with the clothes that I already had. As the weather changed, I bought pieces here and there. I still use what I can.

    I bought new clothes, but they were rather inexpensive, and just used the running shoes that I had. A few months in, I bought a GOOD pair of running shoes, and now I definately spend some money on good workout clothes. I am at the gym 5 days a week, why not!? Finding clothes that fit me well, and make me look the best I can look makes me happy!

    I didn't buy anything this time around because I had already done that a couple of years ago...and wow, they were brand new when I used them last January, haha! But now I have to buy new ones because the old ones were falling off!
