Best weight loss program Australia: The ‘miracle' weight loss program helping Aussies shift stubborn kilos
But what if you heard there was a 'miracle' weight loss program that could help you to shift stubborn kilos while still eating the foods you love?
This was exactly what 40-year-old mum-of-three Erin Bruce was after when she stumbled upon the Train With Ash approach.
After years of restrictive diets and gruelling workouts with little success, Erin joined the popular Aussie program in 2020.
She did so after hearing founder Ash Lane's balanced approach: eat more, train less, and say yes to ice cream without any guilt.
Since then, Erin has lost a staggering 24 kilos — dropping from 85kg to 61kg, while still enjoying pizza and doughnuts.
And of course, Erin isn't the only Train With Ash success story.
44-year-old mum of seven Renee Turner was also at breaking point when she tried Train With Ash at the start of 2024.
After spending years putting everyone else's needs before her own, she felt exhausted, unhappy with her fitness and no longer recognised the person in the mirror.
When she started Train With Ash's free five-day challenge, she embraced weight training for the first time in her life, and since then, Renee has lost 7.5 kilos, taken 12cm off her hips, 10cm off her waist and 6cm off each thigh.
'Do it. Take the risk, you'll never regret doing something for you,' she told Best Picks.
Unlike traditional programs that rely on restrictions, Train With Ash is designed to fit into the lives of busy, everyday women, especially mums juggling it all.
Founded by Ash Lane, the multi-million-dollar coaching business changes the lives (and waistlines) of thousands joining the 12-week weight loss program.
Rather than restriction, deprivation and tactics, Train With Ash focuses on the mindset, fitness and non-restrictive dieting.
With a massive online community, transformational results, and a waitlist growing by the day, the program is one of Australia's most impactful women's health programs.
Much of why Train With Ash has become such a success story comes from the fact that it was built off Ash's own success with trying something different when it comes to weight loss.
When Ash looks back on her twenties, she remembers the grind — hours in the gym, cutting carbs, skipping cake at birthday parties, and counting every calorie.
'I thought that's what it took to get results,' she tells Best Picks.
'But I was miserable, and the moment I stopped, the weight would come back.'
After years of trial, error, and education, Ash discovered the science behind fat loss — and realised women didn't need to live in a cycle of restriction and guilt.
Instead of deprivation, women needed sustainable nutrition, minimal but effective training and education — so people understood why this approach works.
'Training? Just three sessions a week — and no, you don't have to live in activewear or cancel dinner with friends to make it work,' Ash says.
What started as a small coaching business from Ash's home office is now a massive online movement.
Thousands of women around the country are dedicated to Train With Ash, with hundreds sharing their success stories and progress shots.
'I want women to know they can have the body, health, and confidence they want — without giving up the things they love,' Ash says.
'It's not about punishment. It's about a plan that fits your life, not the other way around.'

Revealed: How Laura Henshaw simplified self-care - and the habits you can actually stick to
By now, we all know the importance of eight hours sleep, regular exercise, a diet consisting mainly of wholefoods and plenty of water. But in a world where we are constantly bombarded by TikTok wellness trends, the latest fitness craze, a new diet or approach, it can be hard not to feel overwhelmed when it comes to self-care — and give up before you really get started. New research backs this up. Leading supplement brand Blackmores found a staggering 63 per cent of Australians say they've lost sight of their original health goals after chasing a new trend, with Gen Z being the most affected. With this in mind, Best Picks sat down with Keep It Cleaner (KIC) CEO Laura Henshaw to discuss the wellness habits that she has learned really work — and the products she swears by. According to Laura, one of the best things to do when you want to be successful with a wellness approach is block out all of the noise: 'I have found that leaning into the seeasons of life and not aiming for a 'perfect' balance makes it a whole lot easier,' she tells Best Picks. 'I focus on doing what I can with what I have each day — sometimes that is just enough time for a five-minute guided breathing meditation, and other days it might be a few hours to get outside in nature with a good book.' This simple practice is what Laura — and Blackmores — define as 'habit stacking'. The idea is easy. You look at one thing you're already doing and 'stack' something else good on top of it. For example, you might already drink a glass of water when you first wake up before you reach for any tea or coffee. The idea of 'habit stacking' is you put something else good and easy on top of that, whether that be gratitude journalling, oil pulling or simply a few deep breaths. Before you know it, you have a full-blown, easy-to-practice wellness regime — and you'll feel and look better for it. 'Don't put pressure on yourself to overhaul your life or make big changes,' Laura says. 'Focus on making small changes (this is also much more sustainable). I find habit stacking works really well for me, and it is a great way to turn something I am already doing into a new habit that supports my health and helps me feel good.' One of Laura's top habits she has 'stacked' on recently to her well-being regime is adding Blackmores' new Rapi-Melt vitamins into her daily routine. Instead of forcing yourself to swallow tablets on the daily, the Rapi-Melts dissolve in your mouth without any water. There are currently four available — Iron, Energy B12, Immune and Nails, Skin and Hair — all of which aim to target different things. 'I love how easy they make it to take vitamins on the go,' Laura tells Best Picks. 'As they dissolve in your mouth, no water is needed and they taste really good too. I keep them in my handbag.'

Aussie mum viciously branded a 'monster' by trolls for lasering birthmark on her baby's face reveals what her son, 3, looks like now
An Aussie mum who was branded a "monster" for lasering a large birthmark on her baby boy's face has revealed what the three-year-old looks like now. Brooke Atkins, 36, in 2022 welcomed her second child Kinglsey, who was born with a large port-wine stain (PWS) covering the right side of his face. PWS is a permanent birthmark which takes on a reddish or blueish colour and is caused by the malfunction of blood vessels in the skin. If it is located around the eyes and forehead, the staining can cause underlying conditions like epilepsy or eye problems such as glaucoma. In Kingsley's case, he has glaucoma as well as Sturge Weber Syndrome, another hallmark of the birthmark, which sees him suffer from seizures. Brooke, from the Gold Coast, Queensland, used six laser treatments over two years to treat Kingsley's PWS despite criticism from online trolls. Ignoring those who called her "brainwashed" and claimed the move was more for her than her son, Brooke has recently taken to social media to show Kingsley's PWS is barely visible now after the light beam therapy. The now three-year-old can be seen with a very dilated purple undertone to the right side of his face, a far cry from the intense violet shade it was. In TikTok footage, Kinglsey smiled and giggled with his older sister Amarni as the siblings played at home, and he appeared happy after the treatment. Those who had not been following Brooke and Kingsley's journey with treating his PWS would arguably never suspect he was born with it. However the mum-of-two still remembers the vicious trolling she received from strangers when she decided with her partner, Kewene Wallace, 30, to laser their son's birthmark six months after he was born. "That birthmark is barely visible, what you're doing to him is horrible," one person wrote, among many other people who supported the decision. Another person accused Brooke of making her son "insecure the second he gets out of the womb". Brooke addressed the reception she received and said when she first started reading the negative comments, she cried for a good half hour. "I had a whole heap of mum guilt, and it made me question my decision," the mum of two said. "Even though I knew I was doing the right thing, the cruel words still played in my head. "I just wish these people had known about the health issues connected to these types of birthmarks before writing these things. "This wasn't for cosmetic reasons, and as parents, this was the hardest decision we have had to make. Brooke still has a long road ahead after the many treatments Kingsley has undergone in his life, including three eye surgeries for glaucoma, as well as having had more than 100 seizures, which he still suffers from. Nevertheless, circumstances took a positive turn in July when Brooke said Kingsley was "doing really well" after recovering from "a few sicknesses".
