Agreed. You need commitment, not motivation. Your new year's resolution motivated you, but clearly you weren't committed to the idea. The day of the year has no bearing on how much your life will improve from getting into shape.

Do you track absolutely everything you eat? Do you weigh your food with digital scales?
-
What is your current calorie target and daily deficit?

On the flip side, exercise can increase appetite and requires willpower (which may be better reserved for diet if you're struggling). Some exercise is better than none of course, particularly a balance of weight training and cardio.

I'd say that's a typo. 1g protein is roughly 4 calories, so one serving would be about 100 calories (probably at least 110 and less than 120).

Although that is highly unlikely.

Baked or mashed pumpkin (preferably butternut or kent/jap pumpkin). Steamed vegies. For dessert, porridge with vanilla whey protein powder, low fat yoghurt or decaf coffee.

Counting calories with a digital scale really does work. What are your calorie/macro goals? Do you stick to them? Exercise is great but it is all about calories in - calories out.

Sounds normal. Carbs can affect water weight too. It might take a few days depending on your diet and exercise. There's nothing wrong with water weight; remember that some of your initial three pounds was also probably water weight.

My protein goal is 190g/day. I eat lots of eggs, chicken breast, canned pink salmon, and kangaroo mince (plus some protein from milk, yoghurt, pumpkin seed bread, oats etc). I eat lots of protein to feel full and maintain muscle mass. My goals are 25/40/35. Fat and protein for breakfast definitely help.

There's your problem :)

Have you progressively reduced your calorie target to account for your lower body weight and calorie requirements?

Hi William. As a tall 26yr old male you're in a great position to lose weight and stack on some muscle relatively easily. The best advice I can give is to read this from top to bottom and start using myfitnesspal religiously: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/wiki/faq#wiki_getting_started

Has that been diagnosed by a professional? Your best bet is just to track your diet closely for a week or two and figure out your actual calorie/carb/protein/fat intake. If you're constantly hungry, eat more protein and fat instead of carbs.
