No. If you are not dieting at all, or exercising vigorously, it is not healthy to drop eight pounds in one week. A pound is about 3500 calories worth of energy, so unless you either cut (or burned) 28,000 calories from your weekly diet and were morbidly obese to begin with, it is unlikely that you lost 8 lbs of fat in a healthy way. It is possible to have lost that much muscle mass however, if you lifted weights frequently and stopped for a week.
If you unexpectedly lost eight pounds in a week, you should see your doctor immediately.
