Bay Athletic Club's Fitness Inspired Gala drew more than 100 attendees to the Art in the Loft to celebrate people who have transformed their lives through fitness in the past year. The top ten honorees are people who choose to fight cancer, diabetes, kidney problems, chronic illness and MS with fitness. They are people who choose not to make excuses about busy schedules, hectic lives and limitations. They choose to overcome.

But at the end of the night, all eyes were on Kara Gallagher -- the 28-year-old hospital employee who was voted the most inspiring story of 2011. With her mother at her side, she won one thousand dollars in cash and prizes.

Kara won the hearts of the audience with her story of battling sadness and loneliness for most of her life. On the outside, she was living a party life. But on the inside, she was unhappy with how she looked and felt, but kept those feelings in the dark.

One morning, she woke up with the resolution to change. She decided to treat her body better. She started tracking her food and jumped into fitness full force with group exercise classes, a Corporate Fit Challenge and boot camps.

Her hard work paid off. With the help of her favorite class, TurboKick, she lost 83 pounds, discovered fitness and unleashed a new life. One year later, she is a confident young woman who is upbeat and always smiling.

Her goal now is to help others who still may be living in the dark.
