Wedding Blog
This may be the most exciting blog post of my life! You may remember how I didn’t exactly fit into my beloved Vera Wang, right? Then, you might also recall my super healthy, pumped up plan.
My original post was on May 28th, and today is August 27th. Almost three months later, looky what I did!
(Keep in mind, this isn’t an official fitting. The dress needs to be seriously hemmed and bustled, but I couldn’t keep my sugar-free fans waiting!)
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Those 50 daily push-ups have been paying off, no?
I’ve been “instructed” by Sister Coconut not to lose any more weight! As you can see, my boobs are… well, gone. But, I’m seriously all muscle! I feel so strong! Hit me, just try! However, I’ll probably get some bra cups sewn in for extra support!
A shot of the back!
Yay! We’re two months ahead of schedule! That’s how I like to roll.
Anyone else want to brag about their weight loss success?

Share this post: Looky What I Did!
Wow! You definitely inspired me to start losing some weight. Congrats! The dress looks beautiful.
YOu look great! How much did you lose, and what have you been doing?
your arms look amazing! great job!
You look amazing! Congrats on all your hard work! Now, could you send some of that motivation my way for my last month?
As a supplement to Mar’s question, tell us about your inches lost! (Because it’s that — and not necessary a drop in numbers on the scale — what makes the difference?)
wow great job. My bf and I are playing the Fitness Challenge game. Today is our third day and so far it has motivated me to work out. I hate losing so I am trying to stay ahead of him. Below is the link to the game if anyone is interested in checking it out.

this dress looks great on you!
Miss Coconut — I am impressed!
You look fab in your dress, and your arms look SO good (which is super important when you consider looking back on your photos!).
Great job!
Congrats! Your arms look super toned. Though I have to agree with your sister…don’t lose any more…you look sexy/curvy/feminine in the first shot and you don’t want to lose all of that.
You look hot! (Well, you looked hot before too, but now you look hot and like you could kick some serious butt.) Now that you’re done with your exercise regimen, could you do some vicariously on my behalf?
BTW, I forgot how GORGEOUS your dress is! Woo hoo to My Dream Dress and ebay bargains!
That is just great! Congratulations! You’ll be so happy that you got in shape ahead of schedule because the next two months will fly by.
You look beautiful!

you look amazing!! now i know there’s hope for me….congrats!! i’m going to start doing push-ups!!
Congrats on your weight loss success! You look awesome in your Vera Wang! I think I replied to your original posting about your dress, but I also got my dress off Ebay, and I couldn’t even zip up. But I’ve been working out, eating right for 3 months, and now I fit into it! The dress is at the seamstress getting hemmed and bustled (and not let out). It’s such a sweet feeling! I also joined http://www.sparkspeople.com, which helps you keep track of calories and exercise. It really made a huge difference for me!
Congrats - you look BEAUTIFUL!!! Can you give us an update on your inches changes like before?
Oh my goodness, you look amazing! Not only do you fit your dress beautifully, you look incredibly healthy too! I’m amazed at your progress these past few months, way to go!
Thanks so much, ladies! I’ll take measurements soon and update you on my diet and exercise. I haven’t made many changes, but there are few that might be of interest to you! Be forewarned, the process isn’t easy. I work out A LOT, we’re talking 5-6 days a week. There’s no magic potions! 
@Miss Coconut: Hmmm, except for the “potion” that keeps you dedicated to hitting the gym! I was a HUGE gym rat, and then fell off the fitness wagon (ouch) for a few months. I found I was unhappy with the (minor, but to me, extremely noticeable) changes in my body, and have started rising at 5 a.m. again for my morning workouts. But it’s TOUGH to get up every day that early!
I tried to do the push up thing you posted about, but I have wimpy arms and kept collapsing. But now that I see how good you look I might have to try again! Love the dress! VW is one talented lady.
Congrats Miss C you really do look absolutely gorgeous and I’m envious of your discipline and hard work!
*doing happy dance with Miss Coconut*
I’ve lost 20ish pounds (not sure where I started) just eating healthier, smaller portions more often.
I got my dress smaller based on the rate of loss so when it arrived it didn’t quite fit. After about 3 weeks it zipped but it was TIGHT! Another couple weeks after that its PERFECT!
My darling seamstress said I can lose a few more but anything after that would need adjusing. Something big on moi??? Stoooooop!
*continues to dance*
Congrats! You look great! I’m on week two day two of the push up thing! I can’t believe how great it worked for you! Thanks for the extra motivation!
Knew you could do it (the gorg. dress certainly helps as motivation…)! Congrats, Coco, you look awesome!
You look so amazing Coconut! You are such an inspiration to me, and you have convinced me that eating a hot dog for lunch would NOT be a good idea. It’s time to start my final push in the 7 weeks before the wedding. I still have time to finish the 100 day pushup challenge. I have to get on this!
Congratulations! You look fantastic.
@Shasha: WAY TO GO!!!! I’m going to do the happy dance in your honor, too!!!!
Seriously ladies, do the push-ups. I definitely can’t do 100 push-ups, but I do as many as I can, as often as I can. It makes your boobies shrink a little, but I promise your arms and shoulders will be lean and beautiful!!!!
You look stunning! That dress looks perfect on you! All the hard work paid off! Congrats!
You look so beautiful and healthy! Congratulations Coconut!!!
Inspirational! I have 6mths till my wedding and I officially got my arse to the gym YESTERDAY! Here’s to hoping that I have just as much success as you do!
YOU GO GIRL!!!! Your arms look great and you have totally inspired me to get my butt in gear, lose some weight AND tone up before my wedding. Although it is a year away, it will be here before I know it. Way to go - you look utterly gorgeous! Mr. Coconut is one lucky guy!
aww you look awesome! and yes, don’t lose anymore or your dress will fall off of you like it did for me!! =) losing weight is SUCH an accomplishment, so you should be proud of yourself!
wow, Gogeous figure!!! I also lost a lot of weight before I went to my first fitting. And now working out is part of my life~
