Hi Denise, Weight loss with virgin coconut oil should be a slow, steady and gradual process. I don't believe it will provide a rapid weight loss. I think individuals looking to lose weight with coconut oil should also reduce their calories and include daily exercise to boost their metabolisms and facilitate more calorie expenditure.

On a personal note, I have lost about 5 pounds over a month when I used 2 - 3 tablespoons daily of virgin coconut oil. I also watched my diet and worked out about 3 - 4 times a week at the gym. I found the coconut oil helped increase my energy levels and helped me feel full between meals.

Good luck and I wish you all the best on your special day!
