Hi GiddyKitty,
I dont think 40lbs is an idealistic goal, although I dont know you starting weight. I lost 50lbs and I need to lose 50 more. That's my long term goal. But my short term goals break down by month, week, and day. Monthly, I an trying to lost 8lbs a month. Weekly, I'm trying to run 3 times and do yoga 3 times. Daily, I try to manage portion control, record my meals and calories, and weigh myself for tracking purposes.
So I think a 40lb long term goal and 2lb shorter term goal is just fine. You should set some daily/weekly objectives to hit to help you reach either of those goals. And make sure they are attainable objectives.
And it's okay to slip up. Try not to give it a judgment value of good or bad. Think of it as a scientific research experiment where you are just trying to figure out what works and what doesnt for you.
Hope this helps.
