CHALLENGE: Jamie-Lee Domburg CHALLENGE: Jamie-Lee Domburg
Expresso morning show presenter Jamie-Lee Domburg is on a weight loss challenge and the results are already showing.
The 27-year-old single mom of one says it’s “nogal not a heavy challenge when you have a one-year-old to chase after”.
The curvy plus-size model and breakfast show presenter won the Presenter Search Expresso Edition 2019, along with Port Elizabeth beauty, Kuhle Adams.
Jamie-Lee started her weight loss challenge in January when she weighed 75kg.
She has since shed 7kg and now weighs 68kg and says she feels like a nuwe mens.
“This year I told myself that I’m going to be making conscious decisions about what I allow in my body with regards to the food that I eat,” she explains.
“The 6th of January is when I challenged myself to 90 days without sugar and even took it a step further with a low-carb, high-fat intake diet.”
Jamie-Lee says women don’t have to starve themselves or follow strict diets to lose weight.
“You can still be a curvy woman, but eat healthy so you can be healthy,” she says.
“I cut out certain foods but not entirely, for example I love kool kos, but now I have it without rice and potato.
“But I do miss my Sunday traditional koeksisters, I’ve become so used to the koeksisters straight after church.”

Jamie-Lee wakes up at 3.45am to prepare for the breakfast show, on from 6am to 9am on SABC 3.
“My baby Lucca also helps with my weight loss, I take him for walks a lot but he also makes me chase him a lot,” she laughs.
“I have so much energy and zest for life now.”
