I think those results are absolutely fantastic! Well done, give yourself a big pat on the back! 🙂 As far as I'm aware, cholesterol isn't a totally fixed number, it can fluctuate all the time to a certain extent.

Well done on the excellent results 🙂

From what I understand, if your body is burning more fat then that can lead to raised cholesterol. In that case you fat is being shipped from the storage areas in your blood to the muscles where it is used - therefore raised cholesterol.

That can be a good thing, since it would mean you are burning off you fat reserves.

Well done, celebrate with a body treatment, new CD.........something that makes you feel good.
Was yours a fasting test?
Cholesterol varies throughout the day and your last meal prior to the test can influence the outcome.
