Yeah. I've been doing it pretty consistently since March and have lost 14 lbs (I got about 18 lbs over race weight at one point). I tend not to do it before a Saturday (or longer) ride, but the rest of the time it's gone pretty well. I'm been really happy with it and don't feel hungry all the time like I have in the past when I tried losing weight.
I've found that eating dinner at 4ish and then not eating again until 8 am has been the easiest for my schedule. Allows for a 45 - 1 hour ride around 5:30, then the drive to work, and then eat once I'm there.
