did it myself to shed 2 and a half stone in around 5 months a few years back (16:8). at the end of the day its just a way of restricting calories, some may prefer lots of small meals, i prefer this way. every year around feb/march time i do it to shed a few lbs for summer.
like you, i find it easy, and exercise is no problem for me fasted. some even say its better that way (see the leangains site if youre interested).
got the potential to be an argumentative thread this, but you can only go by your experiences. theres plenty online about it, and as i said, its all down to how you prefer limiting your calories.
FWIW i used myfitnesspal alongside it to limit my daily calories to just under 2000.
good luck.
EDIT:
I’m sort of wondering if I can shift my 8 hour period to start in the morning that day, or have a day off from the fasting
course you can, the beauty of it is, you can do it however you like.
