Unhappy Worried about results.

I had fallen off the LC wagon a year ago and desperately tried to get back with the program, much to my failure and dismay. So naturally, I gained a lot of weight back. I'm right back to where I started (220, possibly plus since I weighed myself at the doc's).

A specialist routinely took my bood pressure which looked high so she tells me to see my regular doctor. I prolonged it due to time, but one day right before Christmas felt pretty lousy.

I go to my regular MD, blood pressure is High, 150/90, then he takes blood samples for tests. The results:

Total cholesterol: 254
Triglycerides: 293
HDL - 49
LDL - 146

I read the very beginning of this thread to see if I could figure out how much danger I'm in, but I can't quite decide. Logically, cholesterol and trigly. being high, I'm worried.

So I'm drinking even more water, though not as much as I would on the LC plan, and eating very limited proteins (more roughage and anti-oxidant type veggies) until I can figure out what to do.

Can anyone clue me in on what my results mean?

Really appreciated your help,
MissB
