saddle height

Hi, I ride dailly about 25 miles to get rid of "the love handles" and apart from that I really enjoy biking getting a breath of air after work. I am getting much more serious about it after a month or two daily rides. When buying the bike (Trek Soho 2) I was advised to bring up the saddle to a height that did not feel comfortable. I lowered the saddle a bit and after riding for a few weeks and getting used to the saddle,
I repositioned the saddle upwards. When riding, I can now stretch my legs completely when leaning on the heels of my shoes. Will that be OK? Or should it even be a touch higher?
