[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 228532, member: 31282"] Hi Roxy Don't worry about your triglycerides, the target is to get them below 1.70, (NICE guidelines) and you've done that! Yes, they are the baddies, and the lower the better, but they will come down. Did they mention your total:HDL ratio? My doctor considers that is the most important, and it should be below 5. I've also heard that losing weight can actually increase blood cholesterol temporarily as all the fat you lose gets used up, presumably for energy. Maybe someone who understands these things (Phoenix?) can put me right on that? I think all your results are great, and I honestly wouldn't worry too much :D . Congratulations on the weight loss!
