Fabulous at 40!

Hi, I'm new to MFP. I am aiming to lose a stone before my 40th birthday. I have been carrying the extra weight for the last year or so. I lost weight after having my last child but have been struggling with binge eating as a way of coping with stress. A few weeks ago something "clicked" in my head and I decided I do NOT want to be fat at forty! So here I am a few weeks into using MFP and so far so good.
