Diets and motivation
I don't know what is happening but it is the third time I try to write something here and I just click some buttom and everthing I have wrote just dissapear. Well, I was trying to talk a little about diets and a healthy life. I read an article on BBC website about how people think they will do more than they actually do. When we start on a diet we make unrealistic goals. We usually think that we can more that we actually can. If you target is unrealistic you'll probably fail on it. Diet is something difficult. At the beginning we are very motivate but after some days it seems to be useless. After a while when you see that you didn't lose weight or just lost a few, you can give up because you put a lot of effort in something that is just not working. The same we can say about learning a language. After studying every day and even so you think you are not improving, sometimes the only whish is to give up. But you have to remember your goal and keep trying. Why are you trying to lose weight or learning a language? Even when it seems to be difficult, You can't give up. I won't. You must to be motivate in doing something and don't do just because you "have to". Why am I trying to improve my English? Just because I want to. So, this is a thing I won't give up or putt off again! 2016 is going to be the year I'll speak a conversational English and the year I'll start to exercise regularly again! Maybe the best way is to take it easy but still keep doing what you have made a commitment to.

The words in green are my suggestions for more natural-sounding speech.
*This could be any other weight measurement (like kilograms, ounces, etc). I hope this isn't too complicated to understand, but you can't say "or just lost a few" in this instance because the only other possible object here is "weight" but it doesn't make sense to say you "lost a few weight"...but you could say "or only lost a little weight".
Your English is good and this notebook entry didn't need much correction overall so I think you're well on your way! Very best of luck with your goals! :)

Just a few mistakes with adjectives and a couple of typos, keep up the good job!
