Re-starting intermittent fasting

I started with 14:10 at the end of October 2021. By mid-November, I lost 7 lbs. Then Thanksgiving came along a couple of birthdays in Dec. Christmas, and New Year's eve. So, unfortunately, I stopped and put back the 8 lbs. Now, Jan 2, 2022, I repented of my sins and will start Monday with the 16:8 (which I was on prior to Thanksgiving). I am now 208 lbs. My goal is 175lbs for my 5'9" frame. I will keep up to date with my progress. I know it works because I lost the 8lbs in two weeks when I kept my the program (14:10 for a week, 16:8 for second week).
