I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

In the 14 months since I had my baby I have lost 66 pounds.(10 lbs less than pre-baby) I exercise when I have time, do aerobic videos, lunges and push-up and sit-ups a few times a week, walk a lot, work 10 hour shifts as a cleaner...I am still flabby and looks like a lot of loose skin on my legs and stomach and hips. Will it ever shrink back? How can I make it go away? (link)

This really depends, as skin loses its elasticity over age. You haven't said how old you are, so I will have to guess.
If you are over 35, your skin will probably struggle more to get back to its usual shape and unfortunately, you may find the loose skin to be permanent.
If you are under 30 years old, in theory, the skin should eventually 'snap back', but it might take time. If the baby was big and your stomach was very stretched, it could take a lot longer for it to reform to your body shape.
In the meantime, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, as there is a lot of moisture in skin, eat healthily and keep working out. If it hasn't gone away in another six months, it may be worth speaking to a doctor about alternative options, if you are still unhappy with it.

Thank you so much for your answer! It was very helpful. I am 24 years old and hope my skin goes back to normal! I know I gained to much weight while pregnant--thats probably why I am so stretched out
