Scott-

Your cholesterol actually went down. The 176 has to be a false reading because Total Chol=HDL+LDL+Triglycerides/5. If your triglycerides and HDL were off the scale in December, there's no way they could compute a Total at all. It has to have been way up in the high 200s at least. The triglycerides component alone would've contributed 100 points to the total if the raw number was >500. You show incredible progress.
