Even though she is no longer required to pull big numbers at the weekly Biggest Loser weigh-ins, Tara Costa is still working it. She told Life and Style that she's "still battling the last 10 pounds."
Tara currently weighs 164 pounds (down from 294 at the start of the show), but the second runner-up of from last year's season says she'd "love to live at 155-ish." Her plan of attack is twofold. She's headed for a week-long stay at the Biggest Loser Resort and Spa, located in Ivins, UT, where guests can reenact the rigors of the weight-loss reality show: six hours of daily exercise and a healthy diet. Her second method is running. Tara ran in the New York City Marathon last Sunday, completing the 26.2-mile course in 4 hours, 23 minutes, and 12 seconds.
I love keeping up with past contestants from the show and seeing that they are still living healthy lives. Like Tara, are you battling the last few pesky pounds that refuse to go away? Join the Weight Loss Support group, to meet like-minded people who share your goals.

She looks so gorgeous....good for her that she's committed to a healthy lifestyle!
I think running is great for weight loss and overall health too. I'm a great believer in it.
1good for her, she looks fantastic!
2Woah, she gained back from the finale! Wasnt she at like 125?
haha dude she's going to balloon up to 250 again. just watch.
3She looks great: healthy and fit. And that's a really great time for your first marathon !
4People like this are so motivating for me. If she can go from 300 pounds to running a marathon, I can at least go to the gym.
5She should have won last season! I'm glad she is doing good.
6Don't beat yourself up over the last 10 pounds! You ran a marathon, girl! Maybe your current weight is a good weight for you -- you've obviously built a lot of muscle, so maybe that's some of the "last 10 pounds" and you wouldn't want to lose that.
7she's hott!!!
8i can't believe what a huge difference there is - she looks beautiful!
9Her website says she weighs 139 now!?
10She probably gained some weight back from the finale. I think she still looks great and is at a healthy weight
11She looks so great! I almost can't believe she's the same person; she's lost so much weight! I wish her all the best on losing the last 10 lbs, but she really could stay where she is and still be totally fine looking.
12She was my favorite that season! Yay for her! That is so fantastic!
