Cool bluu's blood test results

Ok so i finally got the results faxed to me, i've been anxiously waiting for 1 week!

Here are my lipid/glucose levels :

Date: 17-OCT-2000 (weight ~ 180lb)
cholesterol: 157 (normal 130 - 200)
triglyceride: 249 (normal 30-150) *yikes high*
HDL: 27 (normal 40-90) *low*
LDL: 80 (normal < 130)
Glucose: 89 (normal 65-115)

CHOL/HDL Ratio: 5.8 (normal 3.8-5.7) *high*

Date: 18-OCT-2001 (weight ~ 155lb)
cholesterol: 162
triglyceride: 68
HDL: 47
LDL: 101
Glucose: 76

Chol/HDL Ratio: 3.4 *low*

I'm all smiles.

Here's some more on my thyroids (which my doctor didn't bother to mention - unfortunately i didn't take this test last year )

He took a TSH Thyroid test and it came out low 0.03 (range is 0.35-5.50)!! that sounds very low. Will this affect weight loss? why didn't he tell me about this. I think i'll have to increase my knowledge on this thyroid test.

My Thyroxine level was fine 1.48 (whatever this is lol)

Here's another funny thing:
Electrolytes:

POTASSIUM: 4.1 in 2000, 5.4 *high* in 2001 (range is 3.5-5.3)
I don't take a potassium supplement though.

SODIUM: 143 in 2000, 142 in 2001.

I would love any feedback especially on the thyroid thing..thnx
