Calorie counting works for both losing weight and maintaining.

I ate today, for the past 3 days I have been vowing to get back on track with Cambridge but its not worked, rather I've eaten, and eaten 800 cals per day..(like today)
Eek. Cambridge is formulated so that you can get all your needs in a such a low calorie count without harming yourself or going into starvation mode. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to replicate that with a home made calorie counting plan.

If you want to count calories (rather that Cambridge) you need a minimum of 1100-1200 calories a day or it just doesn't work (well....not for long anyway)

What are the losses like and do you think I should stick to Cambridge?
I reckon you ought to stick to Cambridge Maximum loss with minimum fiddling about
