No such thing as a dumb question here.
To answer your first question, you go to where it says profile in the blue toolbar at the top of the page right under our logo. Then after you click that on the left side you'll see an edit profile option. Click that. Then scroll down and you'll see where you can change your start date, end date, current weight, goal weight, etc.
As far as walking goes, I would shoot for longer time periods less frequently if that's how you have to break it down. This becomes especially true when doing cardiovascular exercise and you're trying to get your heart rate up. Ideally I'd tell you to walk an hours 7 days a week to burn the maximum calories. You can.
Regarding weight training, that depends on what your long term goals are, and how experienced you are with lifting weights. If you're trying to lose weight, then I suggest low repetition per exercise with higher weight amounts to help prevent muscle loss while you're trying to lose weight. However, if you're new to weight training, you won't want to just jump in like that. You'll want to start off with lighter weights and more lifting repetitions per exercise. I'd honestly need to know more about your weight training experience before I can make any recommendations.
For anyone new to weight training I always suggest finding a personal trainer if money permits. They're great for motivation and can show you proper form, while spotting you when you lift heavier weights.
