As the layer of fat under the skin decreases, people bruise more easily (due to less cushioning of the blood vessels). So, maybe the increased bruising relates to your loosing weight.

I normally bruise easily. When I started LC though I looked like a prize fighter or abuse case. Someone sugegsted adding vitamin C and E to my suppliments. I found the E really helps me with the bruising.

Just a note. My Mom's platelets fell extremely low after taking daily aspirin and vioxx over a period of time. She had bruising. Finally she went in to the Doctor after a year of ignoring the syptoms.
