How do you use coconut oil for weight loss?

I have been working very hard in the gym and with proper diet and have lost 30lbs. I heard that coconut oil is very healthy for weight loss and i got some extra virgin, organic coconut oil from the GNC store but it is in a canister that is solid, kinda like wax. I'm not sure how to use it. I could use it to cook things with, like shrimp but I would like to add it to a smoothie (pina colada type made with yogurt and fruit) but i need some ideas on how to incorporate it into my diet. Anyone out there know what i should do?
