Cheers Pete still going/ hopeing to get down to 16 stone by my 70th birthday. I also bought a treadmill but my wife uses it more than me she is almost blind and finds the treadmill safer than walking outdoors.

Key word here is "allowed" to do. Keep it up, you will do yourself a lot of good. They have already found out what your limit is so this is a good thing. You can improve upon it a little at a time though.

Very solid. Keep it up. You are seeing benefits already which helps give you motivation to stay on track. I commend your efforts. Most Americans just stay in front of the TV and keep stuffing their faces with garbage night and day.
