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.

Pessaries and walking etc
Personally I have found due to my mother using a pessary that once you use them alot you sem to be tied to them for life (Thats what her gyno said to her)
I have all 3 prolapses and I find that weight loss has not affected them (since having them have at one time lost 105lbs then after being very unwell with MS I have now lost about 50lbs or so (Luckily I didnt put on all of that 105lbs again) i still wanna lose weight and as I am now disabled I use a treadmill to walk it off. In using this I find that walking at a bigger incline and with a slower gait does nothing to my prolapse and I used to do step aerobics with no prolapse issues either.
If you are walking I suggest you try the above the slower gait helps you to maintain posture and also make sure you walk lightly (meaning do not slam / stamp the feet t the floor.
Befored I had a Dr RAM a pessary into me I only was dx with a uterine prolase and now I have all three! I would say when walking keep posture in mind. It should help support your prolapse as you move :)

Working with Weights
I have a severe cystocele and still go the the gym 6 days a week. I take 3 strength training classes, a step class, and 2 cardio classes. I wear a V-2 supporter while working out. I was fortunate enough to have built up my upper body strength before my prolapse worsened, as you may have also. If that is the case, strength training should not be a problem. I try to maintain the posture at all times. Walking is fine - just keep the posture. Good luck -
