It’s a stretch since each pound of weight loss is roughly equivalent to a 3500 calorie deficit.. so 3500x 8 = 28,000 calorie deficit over 11 days.. so basically you can eat nothing until March…
Realistically setting a 500 calorie,/day deficit will get you going on a sustainable path of 1 pound/loss per week. Also, some of weight loss early in IF is water weight (not fat/muscle) if you go slightly higher protein and lowercarb.. so your scale weight may actually look like an 8 pound loss.. but don’t be surprised if that weight comes back quickly..
So, slow and steady wins the race

Good luck!
You can do it.
Water fast for the rest of the month + walking 7-10k steps steps every few days.
If you need one refeed between now and March, limit it to 500-600 calories. Clean food. Salmon or tuna, avocado.
If your hunger pains become unbearable, use 1/4 soup packet in hot water for sodium / ease your mind.
M 6’2 SW 255, CW 231, GW 200. I lost over twenty pounds in seventeen days doing this.
It is difficult at times and I recommend a lot of positive self affirmation. “I’m looking great, I’m loosing weight.”
Limit your scale checks to once a week.
Listen to your body. If you have to eat, eat. Just restrict your kcal’s to a bare minimum.
