When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Good thinking Christine. I think it is important that there are pictures of real women of different ages and shapes on the FAQ's. I find that seeing only slim women under 30 illustrating anything at all can be quite offputting, because the images, particularly those illustrating fashion, are designed to be exclusive and barely attainable. If I know I am wearing something fashionable I usually feel better (more acceptable?) aesthetically, even if I don't feel really comfortable. Have a look at the women and girls you see at the Mall and you will see the degree of success that most women achieve when trying to emulate the lovelies in the women's magazines!
What we need is lots of different Members, so that women can find a body in the gallery that they can relate to their own bod.
I'll throw down the gauntlet to all women, including myself (yikes!) to send through a photo of themselves in snugly fitting clothing, in WW posture, so you can pick the pinups. No captions needed, and no Photoshopping the images before sending them! You'll probably never speak to me after this!!
Cheers

Well Soupy, What about if we blur the faces? Photoshop does have some very useful tools.
Yipes, we don't have to be identified! Hey, we could put Britney Spears' head on them all or some other fool, just for a laugh! And we don't have to be naked; they would be just pictures of women standing and sitting in WW posture. Just a plain, anonymous background and wearing a mid coloured t-shirt or tank top and leggings or dance pants or even closely fitting trackie daks would do, so we can see unlocked knees and feet straight, lumbar curve, loose belly, high boobs, low relaxed shoulders, chin slightly tucked. All this in side view and front view, sitting and standing.
It is so hard to see a body form when the model is wearing really light or really dark clothing unless the photographer knows what they are doing. You can't go wrong with colours that are in the middle. Any point and shoot can do it. And remember to take it with a normal lens (50mm) or stand back a bit and zoom in. Wide angle (what happens when you zoom out) make people look FAT!
Remember that nobody has to do it, but I reckon it would be useful to have up to, maybe twenty or so anonymous photos?
What do others think of this idea?
And I wonder what Christine and Lanny will think of my meddling?
Cheers

Louise,
Great idea. What if the pictures were taken side view with the head turned away?

original photo gallery
We have a photo gallery already set up and ready to go. Personally, I'd love to see real pictures of each other rather than blurs, shop-jobs, or - Heaven forbid - Britney!
We talked about this ages ago, but got sidetracked with whether or not to put up a 'clinical' gallery.
I received some darling ones of Alemama today, so who's next?

don't mean to sound snotty but...
was wondering who would have access to the gallery?
only members I would hope
and maybe only members who themselves have shared photos?
