Since starting to diet, doing cardio and weight lift I have been eating and drinking heaps more protein and I am feeling more hungry. Is this because I am having more protein or because I am burning more energy? Start weight 20/04/2013 = 240kg Goal weight 120kg (total loss 120kg) It won't happen over night, but if you don't give up it WILL happen.

Eating protein will be the best thing to combat the hunger, and it's also possible that you may be slightly dehydrated from your workouts. Often times we confuse thirst for hunger, so try drinking more water! Someone who is busier than you is working out right now. There will come a day when you can no longer do this. Today is not that day.
