Question about Cholesterol numbers

Hi there. I have been on Atkins for 4 months now and have lost 42lbs. I did not have any blood work done prior so I dont know what my levels were then but I just had blood work done and my Dr. says not to worry but when he sent me the test results, the lab people had my numbers listed in the "Abnormnal Column" which scared my a little. Here's my numbers:
Total Cholesterol - 201
Triglycerides - 249
HDL - 39
VLDL - 49
LDL - 112
Total Chol/HDL Ratio - 5.1
So what does all this mean ?
Im confused !!
