I have again given up pop (for the most part, with the occasional 12 ounce indulgence) and have lost at least 10 pounds in the past month. Not sure it's only the pop, though, as I also gave up french fries, which I was eating about 3 or 4 times a week.
Now that I've started exercising to prepare for the season, I expect to drop another 10 pounds easily by November 1.

A professional colleague of mine also gave up pop, and permanently now. If he has a sip of Coke or Pepsi now, he feels like he wants to throw up because of how horrible the taste is.
I've done a few 2 and 3 week pop bans and the taste does become undesirable.
