I had purple bruises when I firt started the diet and lost hair. The brusises were explained to me by my doctor, but I forgot his reasoning now, sorry. It wasn't anything to worry about. I would still check with your Dr. though. The hair loss is normal. Anytime your body goes through a stressful event (weight loss, child birth, medical condition(heart attack, stroke)) hair loss is normal for a few months. You can ask your doctor about this too. You are doing fine.
