8 pounds is nothing. Don't get why he would say something.

Tell him to shove it lol. Your supposed to gain between 15-25lbs if thou started out within your normal bmi. I was at the low end of mine and at 27w I've gained 25lbs with a healthy diet and daily exercise. :p

I don't see how that's a problem, it isn't that much of a weight gain. But maybe try healthier snacks or daily walks. YouTube has plenty videos of exercises you can do while pregnant (:
