At your weight two hours is too much, in my opinion. Even people that are quite overweight shouldn't do excessive amounts.
If I were you I'd do an hour maximum.

Does it matter? If you have the results you want by training 1h15m a day, why do you feel the need to exercise more?
You are doing more than enough to keep your body healthy.

Overall weight loss:
I love how no-one tries to find out the level of intensity.
2hours of walking? running? cycling? wii fit? free weights?
All make a huge difference to how long you'll be able to keep it up for without loosing motivation or getting an injury.
