Two pounds a week would be a nice goal for someone who's a few pounds overweight and looking to lose to get back to a normal BMI.
Chantal, being at 400 lbs, is not that person.
2 lbs a week means, in six months, she'll have lost only 48 lbs. That's a ridiculously slow drop in overall weight and the problem she'll run into is that the improvement will be so nominal that it will actually be difficult to stay motivated. Let's be clear: motivation is something everyone who wants to lose weight struggles with. But here, she's setting herself up for complete and total failure when the realization sinks in that she is losing too slowly.
What's more, is that Chantal's math is off. At 2,500 calories (at her weight + height), she'd lose only one pound per week.
So, awesome, now you're only losing roughly four pounds per month and now only 48 pounds in a year. That puts her at 350+ a year from now. That isn't sustainable for someone of Chantal's mental inabilities. Frankly, I've said it before when she starts these diets, and I'll say it again, she purposely picks goals that will be easily sabotaged because she knows she can't commit to the hard truths of weight loss, and she'll get the ass-pats for the effort.
It's the definition of the bare minimum.

Please God, let her try and get into the psych ward again, this time because some faceless stranger on the internet left a comment saying she ate too much sugar.
