3.) Had a calcium heart scan: zero buildup

Here's my latest numbers:

CHOLESTEROL: 275 (Range: 0-199 mg/dL) Status: High
TRIGLYCERIDES: 58 (Range: 0-149 mg/dL)
HDL: 55 (Range: 40-59 mg/dL)
LDL CALCULATED: 208 (Range: 30-99 mg/dL) Status: Panic High

I have maintained my 27 lb. weightloss.

My endo didn't even blink an eye. I guess he's used to me and my LCing cholesterol numbers. (But I don't know why my HDL isn't even higher --- but I am hypothyroid, so might have something to do with it.)

How do you feel? Is your hypothyroid adequately treated? I am curious if your numbers have changed at all with thyroid meds.
