Tara is warm and bubbly, and definitely motivated and competitive. I think she will go far this season. Even though she’s heavy now, she’s still pretty.

Tara is one of the most amazing spirits I’ve ever encountered…she’s warm, funny, beautiful, and more than anything, GENUINE…She’s extremely motivated, with a competitive edge, and I know she’ll be kicking and taking names throughout the season. I’ve never watched the show before, but I love Tara and I can’t wait to see her achieve greatness! Rock on, girl! May nothing but good things come your way! : )

Definitely my favorite this season. She is really witty and has a really pretty face. And I liked the determination she showed in the challenge last night. I hope she goes far and I can’t wait to see how great she looks on the finale.

I’ve never watched the show, but chose to this year while I worked to lose my weight. I’ve started out in Nov at over 250, and now I’m at 180. I know I can lose another 20 lbs, and I’m getting strength from Tara Costa. This chick is sexy, smart, motivated and a hero. She must win this game!

What people see on BL is a truly remarkable woman! Tara comes from a great family-a terrific mom, brother, stepdad and extended family. We’re family friends since she was a young child-Tara has always been compassionate, intelligent, hard-working and extraordinarily kind, putting others’ welfare first. She’s upbeat, genuine, and you won’t find a more formidable competitor!
Good health, happiness and success be with you Tara! You always make us proud!
Larry and family

She looked great on week one even being obese. Yet every week that goes by she looks more and more like her modeling pictures as she drops the pounds. She’s also got the strength, focus, and determination to win this thing. She’s also got a lot of heart and cares deeply for the other teammates. I am rooting for her to take home the $250k. I really think she has a good shot at winning this thing. I’m also glad that Laura is starting to pull her weight, that will help keep Tara there until the end.

To be honest, she’s the one that I think will win it, this season. In my book she’s already the Biggest Loser and no one else deserves it BUT her. She’s my favorite on the show and I hope to see her in the winning circle

Go Tara, I am rooting for you to go all the way !!!!! You are truly inspiring to me and I thank you for that. I am trying to lose weight for the 2nd time….the first time I started at 264 lbs and lost down to 118lbs but I have gained allot of it back. So this time I have started at 246 and now have lost 14 lbs so far…..But watching you each and every week is inspiring me to keep on going you are one of the biggest hearted people on the show….and I love watching you, and my husband has a cousin that you are identical to and I am not joking her name is Janet and she looks just like you and sounds like you and she has your same personality and they always say everyone has a twin somewhere, I truly believe that because you are her twin its facinating to me how much alike you guys seem. My husband is in aww at how much alike you guys are ,the things you even say he says ” that sounded just like Janet Sue” its crazy funny.

I wish all the best and I hope you walk away as the Biggest Loser , I am cheering for you every week. YOU GO GIRL !!!!!

Hey Tara, i love the show but i love your motivation and competitiveness to win. I love watching you the most and i TRULY believe that you will win because you inspire everyone and you know Ali from last season, you will beat her record of weight loss by alot. Hope for the best. I will continue to root for you. BYE

P.S. you won’t get voted off because i have a feeling that if it did happen, Laura might sacrifice herself. I hope it doesn’t happen.

Tara bothers me a little bit. Yes she works hard and she’s determined but I feel like every time she competes in a challenge she has to have attention afterwords. She either throws up continuously or is “so exhausted” she has to sit down and have people crowd around her to see if she’s okay. She’s a little bit of a drama queen. Last night when she won the challenge to pick the face-off couples you would have thought she was about to die, but Mandi did wall sits for just as long and was standing up without any of this “I just have to sit down” drama. Tara is strong, but every time I see these antics I just think she’s ridiculous for needing attention like that. But that’s just my opinion.

Jason, I agree with you. I forget her name is Tara because I’m terrible with names and from Day 1, she’s been “Fat Kate” to me. At this point, she’s now “Plump Kate” and by the time all is said and done, she’ll be “Curvy Kate”.

Been rooting for this hottie from the beginning. And while she has a flair for the dramatic, Tara seems like a great person. I hope she wins it all!

Ugh, Tara is annoying and full of herself. Sure she’s a good competitor, but she is wayyyyy too cocky for her own good. By far the most annoying person on the show. She says Aubrey has a loud mouth, but she should look in the mirror.

Tara is really starting to wear on me. This week it was just more of the same drama. Everyone hates me! Why doesn’t anyone like me? No one hates her. She’s a threat and everyone knows it. She should take it as a complement like Aubrey said but no she’s got to be all dramatic and storm out of the house and not let anyone talk to her but Laura. And shame on her for even thinking about throwing the weigh-in. People go on BL to change their lives. It’s not something that you just throw away. I’m tired of her and her need for attention. And I’m really glad that Kristin beat her to the hundred pound mark. Because Kristin deserves it.

Tara has become an amazing athlete. She never bad mouths anyone and she is always happy for other people’s success. People gang up on her because she’s the biggest threat and she still manages to come out on top. I hope she wins the entire thing because she deserves it. She deserved to win the $10000 for winning the half marathon but she didn’t win becuase Helen and Aubrey were such selfish pigs.

Peopl need to lay off her. She is the best one their. And i can completly relate to feeling like people gang up on you just because your better or your a threat. I hope she wins this cause like everyone else says shes strong and she has the drive.
GOOD LUCK TARA, KEEP IT UP!!!!

This girl trash talked with the best of them at the beginning of the game. Like when they were competing to have a visit from family for 24 hrs. She jumped into the pool and started splashing around and trash talking until Allison made her get out. Tara can obviously dish it out but she can’t take it.

Best of luck, you and your success are in my prayers!

When I started watching the biggest loser when I was about 10 and ever since, I always have had an all time favourite person. Season 4 was Bill. Bill won that season. Season 5 was Ali. Ali won that season. Season 6 was Michelle. Michelle won that season. You see the pattern?
This year, Tara my ALL TIME FAVOURITE contestent this season, and quite frankly, one of the only ones I actually like! (Other than Laura, Dan and Jerry) If Tara gets voted off, I’m going to be really sad, and I’m not sure I’ll even bother watching anymore.

YOU GO GIRL!! ♥♥

I totally agree with Ashley if Tara gets the boot I think I am not even watching anymore….. Biggest loser needs to stop having the voting off process and actually go with the one that lost the least amountg for the week…. All this game play is frustrating…. Sometimes the Biggest loser gets voted off and it sucks

Tara has been an inspiration to me since day one since we started out about the same weight…. I don’t work out like they all do but I have lost 30 pounds so far and I know I can do this….I am eating low carb and being way more active… I already have tons more energy. And to all you haters out there- everyone wants attention and does annoying things sometimes…. it is called being human. I think she was gorgeous when she started and I can’t wait to see the after photos… With Tara standing in the confetti!!! GOOOOO TARA!!!! IOWA LOVES YOU!!!

Tara is awesome! She’s the reason I’m actually watching this season. After last season I was just going to give up on this show, but I watched the 1st episode and I loved Tara. I really hope she wins the whole thing.

All these people are like “oh blahblahblah she thinks she’s all that.” Uh… are you not watching the show? She is kicking everyone’s . When you’re in serious competition, there isn’t much room for modesty. You have to go in each challenge convinced you are the best.

I agree..tara is a go getter. I think she has the drive to go all the way. and some people give her crap about how she presents her self, but if you really think about it shes actually pretty nice. remember when she one the right to call a member and she gave that up to a contestant? come on now.
i think people need to lay off the trash talk, she’s obviously one of the best their.
GO TARA…IM PULLING FOR YOU!!!

I have never encountered someone who is such an inspiration. You are fierce and I am so proud of you for persevering through the negative attitudes of your competitors. NEVER lose your incredible fire and spirit, and never let the haters get you down. You friggin rock and you put the rest to shame through sheer willpower. You are so awesome I only wish we could be friends! I wish you nothing but the best and I am rooting for you to WIN!!!!!

Cardamon2009,

My thoughts exactly. She dropped 100lbs so quick, it really makes me wonder if it is a fraud. I could just imagine somebody sitting eating gallons ice cream, intentionally gaining weight in order to cash in on 250k, not to mention the fleeting fame that comes with it. She even has a nice backstory that I’m sure appealed to the producers/casting directors. Think about it, seriously. Has any woman on the ranch had as many double-digit weeks as Tara? There have been bigger women on there that didn’t drop weight as quickly, so I’m confused. I’m glad Laura was voted off, since it will hasten Tara’s departure.

---

Keith W
Apr 16th, 2009

Cardamon2009 and dave…I read in a few places that one week on the BL ranch may in reality be more than a week making the weight loss more inline with reason. In that sense BL is somewhat deceiving and probably frustrating for those trying to lose weight in the time frames that these people do it but then again all these people have to do with themselves each day is eat right, sleep, and exercise. Tara is very young and likely athletic in her youth making it easier for her to take off the weight than some of the older contestants. She also has more heart and drive than the other players. I am most disappointed in the men especially the Tongans and Mike. They keep getting beat by this girl. Mike is in his teens and it is like he has no testosterone or competitive spirit. Probably got the lazy genes from his father. I hope Tara wins because she is the only one with a true fighting spirit.

You inspired me to know that I CAN do this and that I will do this! THANK YOU! God Bless!!!

But I used to be DROP DEAD GORGEOUS like her, before I had 2 kids and got married and stopped caring. Tara, is almost like me! Same weight gain and looks, if she can do it so can I! Thank you Tara for the inspiration to get off the couch and get moving!! Girl you look good keep it up and keep winning those challenges!! Take the Money, I think you can take the chances and gamble on yourself, you are doing great!!! I hope you see this, take care and good luck!! Kim

Hello Tara,

I’m a wife and mom in my mid thirties, and I am fat!!!!!!!! I use to like BL in the past, but because of you, I now love it! You don’t get caught up in stupid girl pettiness. You, like all of us, have your moments, BUT immediately learn from the drama, and mistakes! In everything I always tell people “If you don’t like the way something is do something about it or get out, if not, than shutup!” I’ve done that with so much in my life except for my weight. However, watching you is drawing me to address my own weight in a more powerful way because you actually have put your money where your mouth is regarding your life, your choices, and your health! I’ve lost a little weight, and am still @ 252 lbs, but I’m not stopping this time! You have totally inspired me to get focused, and not to get caught up in the details! I am hoping and praying for you to win this season because I believe that you deserve it, and are ready to keep up with the change! God bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you have heard this a thousand times, but I am going to say it again! You are phenomenal………..my husband says you are a beast!!!!!!! Thanks for kicking the men’s butt and giving them a taste of where real strength and determination come from……your will!!!! It has been a pleasure seeing you succeed and I hope with all my heart (and my family as well) that you win. You, out of all of the cast deserve it. You have worked the hardest! What a beautiful girl you are. One word of advice,……..being that you are Italian……..stay away from the gnocchi and ravioli.

Tara is fantastic. I will miss her next season. I really wanted to eat a chicken wrap the other day – and there has to be at least 15 points (if you are a WW member – you know that is high!). I swear I heard Tara with that great smile say no you don’t. I thought yes I do, and then I heard, but you are so worth it. I DID NOT EAT IT! Thanks Tara! I truly hope you win – you are dedicated and believe in yourself. You are a winner, and a real inspiration to others who fight the battle of food! Good luck.

Tara needs to lose. She has been very selfish this competition by having to win every single time. It’s time to give someone else a turn. What would it have hurt to slow down just a little bit and let someone else have a shot at a prize?

I think tara is a nice person. but she is kind of a baby she can’t stand losing. That is the kind of people i can’t stand. Some of the other people desevered to win sometimes. I don’t care rather she wins or loses but i know if she wins the biggest loser is fixed cause they let her win everything.

Tara you go girl!!! You have amazed me this whole season. While there have been some weeks I felt you didn’t give Laura enough credit and you whined a bit, you have been a constant during the show. No reason to give others a chance. Competition is just that – competition. You need to win to give yourself more confidence in your successes. There was never a doubt in my mind that you would come in first in the marathon. It was about finishing, not winning. I know you will continue with your journey and share with others. You will undoubtedly go a long way in life if that determination and strength you have shown during the show on your weight loss is continued in your personal life goals.
I hope you win the big finale but you are a winner in everyones eyes no matter if there is $250,000 at the end.

You go tara. im pulling for you cause i know you can do it.
Just because tara is a winner and she dosnt back off and she gives it her all dosnt mean that the show is fixed. Shes also lost to, it just so happens that she wins more then the others. so maybe instead of her slowing down maybe they should step it up.
you can do it tara, i know you can. So keep up the awesome work and WIN!!!

Tara!!! You Go Girl!!! You are my biggest inspiration right now. I too am a former Plus size model that has become more plus than model the last few years… many things have contributed to it… surgery, laid off, etc… but watching you on TBL has so inspired me to get happy again. Went out and purchased an elliptical with the Jillian i-fit work outs so I can have Jillian in my home to help me.

You are so awesome!!! I can’t wait for the finale, because I know you will do it!

Going to make your mini meatloaves for dinner tonight. yum!

Lisa and Mandy are delusional. “She has been very selfish having to win every time” and “some of the other people deserved to win sometimes.” Are you kidding me?!! BL is a once in a lifetime opportunity so why wouldn’t she try to win everything she can while she has the chance. As I have said before, she is the only one who has heart and knows how to compete. Nobody “deserves” to win unless they earn it. Tara earns it every time. She did not manipulate her way to the final three. She got there by hard work and achievement. Some people can rise to the occasion and some just don’t. Mike, that Nancy-Boy, should be embarrassed – he is younger than Tara and gets spanked by a girl every time! Go Tara!!!

Tara is awesome! How is winning most of the challenges being selfish?? This is a competition! A game! You are supposed to try to win! People who say she wins too much are just jealous. And to the person who said “Its rigged because they let her win” I don’t see your logic in that. She is a hardworking girl who is determined. Were you mad that Michael Phelps won all those gold medals?? Shame on him! He should have been humble and let other people win! (sarcasm) Or what about that guy, Ken Jennings? He won 70+ straight games of Jeopardy, winning over 2 mil. Was that rigged too?? I hope Tara wins this thing! She has worked so hard and deserves it! I can’t beleive people can have so much hate for someone they dont even know!

Tara, you looked fantastic and so happy yesterday! I know that you are disappointed about not having the highest percentage of weight loss. However, remember this: you are an inspiration to everyone struggling with their weight. You never gave up. Please don’t lose that confidence that you have gained. You are a beautiful and determined young woman with your whole life ahead of you. Continue to make the most of it!

You WON in my eyes.

Tara,
Good luck with maintaining the weight loss. To me what motivated you most was “beating” everyone else. You constantly said how everyone was against you, “wanted you to fail” and other sad comments that I guess kept you fighting for what you thought was your rightly deserved prize. They all fought just as hard as you. I am glad Helen won, but you absolutely won your life back and that is what is the most important thing. I believe loving yourself enough is what keeps us from becoming obese and at 23, you were heading toward a short sad hard life. Good for you that you turned it around. Now its time to take on the challenge of fighting that other Tara, that led you to that. Again, I wish you the best of luck.

And like another person has said, I am sure you will get a bunch of modeling gigs, its just a matter of time before everyone see’s how beautiful you are. keep up the good work because im not lying when I say that you have made a change not only in your life but in the lives of the people who have followed your journey.
You are the biggest loser to me!!!
Good luck tara, your awesome

Tara,
I know you are probably disappointed by not having the biggest percentage but in my mind you were the winner! I have never seen anyone dominate a competition as much as you did on this years show! You simply didn’t have anymore weight to lose. You looked very beautiful (you were always pretty), sexy, and happy last night! I really enjoyed watching you compete and beat everyone this year and it has been a very long time since I have seen anyone with your sheer willpower and focus! Best of everything in life to you always! I hope you stay active in the public eye, because you are an inspiration!

Tara is so extremely inspirational. I feel completely connected to her. Out of all of the contestants on TBL over the seasons, Tara is the most like me in attitude and focus and personality. I was rooting for her from the very first episode and I saw her beauty immediately before she even begin the journey. As the weeks progressed and she kept winning challenge after challenge my admiration and respect for her continued to grow. She really is the best TBL contestant ever. I would love nothing more than to be friends with her in real life, she is the type of person I aspire to be. I really liked Laura too, and was very happy to see her overcome the injuries and look fantastic in the finale.

I’m so glad Tara didn’t win, she was full of herself right from day 1, she had an attitude that she was better than everyone else. If there was a show called The Biggest Whiner, she definitely would have won. Kristen deserved it so much more. Way to go Helen.

this blog shows the mentality of america…a crap load of morons following a self centered cry baby who pulled the wool over their eyes and made them believe that she was a great and admirable person and a mere few that are able to see her for what she really is…god, its no wonder that george bush was president for eight years.

It’s so funny to see how some people are so jealous of Tara, if you don’t like her keep your mouth shut why would you waste your time coming on her to type bad stuff about her if your not jealous, don’t you have something better to do? What she gonna do lose a challenge on purpose BS how stupid would that be, just cause she is a bad and tough doesn’t make her selfish and a “cry baby” i guess all of them are cry babies cause i seen everyone of them cry at least once that is so ridiculous, just because people have heart makes them a “cry baby” are you kidding me? LMFAO. She is a very strong inspirational woman anybody who can lose 155lbs period is absolutely amazing. TARA YOU ROCK!!!

tara, if u read these ignore all the people who seemed to hate u. when reality tara is the only person on this show that did not get into any of those alliances with people, and that is what got her so far, and because she got upset in 1 episode everyone calls her a cry baby, u would be upset if everyone ganged up on u also. i liked tara from day1 and i watched every episode, tara u are an inspiration to me and to alot of people, keep up the good work. i hope to see u on the next season, as a guest host or just a guest on the show, i think that would be awesome. good luck!

I cannot believe some of the comments on this blog. I understand that this is a place for people to sound off, but wow…for those of you who have positive things to say…you make me proud to be an American. For the rest of you…do you personally know any of these contestants? I am sure there are positive and negative things about all the contestants but you need to find some joy in your life if your screen name is directly aimed at hating any of these contestants…People go on the show to lose weight and to gain their lives back. It is a game and I don’t remember one single contestant in the history of BL (and I have NEVER missed an episode) who hasn’t had some less than positive quality. Be happy for all the players! Anyone who has lost any weight whether it be 40 pounds or 200 pounds should be proud. And on another note…What in the world does any of this have to do with a guy who used to be President? Not that it matters, but I don’t think President Bush had anything to do with the BL winners or losers. It’s like the saying goes…if you don’t have anything nice to say…then be quiet.

she's saggy

Can’t wait to see her put the water back on. Can’t wait to see her binge it all back on out of disappointment at not winning the money. Because isn’t that what matters the most? The person who loses the most weight, whether it be fat or water,and takes home the money. Not who got healthy in the head, as well as the body, and changed bad behavior patterns for good. She was a smartass to everyone else, but when she felt like she was being ganged up on, she was ready to bawl. Not CRY, like everyone else did, out of exhaustion, or frustration, or missing loved ones, but BAWL, like a bully bawls when they get what they give, and can’t take it. Like when she told Aubrey to shut her mouth when she pointed out that she was gonna bawl. What a great spirit, what a class act. It seemed it was all about winning weigh-ins and challenges for her, and not about staying healthy the next fifty years of her life. And, unfortunately, when you look at past competitors who seemed to only be in it for the money, the vast majority of them have put some, if not all of their weight back on. And the dress she wore at the finals was horrendous. Wasn’t she a model? Can’t she tell when an outfit does not flatter her figure? It made her bosom look flat and saggy. I know she must have lost weight in her breasts, so why not get a dress that would would flatter her figure. And speaking of breasts, you KNOW the implants are coming. She has shown herself to be way too insecure to leave those socks hangin’. I loved it when she had Helen go first. She was POSITIVE her only competition was Mike. The look on her face when she saw her final weight was awesome! Like someone kicked her in the gut. Nothing like a 47 year old mom beating you at the weigh-in to put you in your place.
