Cholesterol Numbers Aren't Budging!

I have the same problem. A bit of research suggests that, as a result of losing weight, your body may end up with more cholesterol in your blood stream since those fat cells are shrinking/emptying. Basically your body is using energy stored as fat, which means all that fat is now effing your blood test numbers.

"Although research indicates that weight loss will lower cholesterol, some people may experience a rise in cholesterol as they lose weight, because as weight is lost, fat stores shrink. The fat and cholesterol normally stored in fatty tissue have nowhere to go but the bloodstream, causing a rise in cholesterol. This effect is not permanent and cholesterol levels will drop as your weight stabilizes."
