Activity Level<br>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel" value="sedentary">Sedentary - Little or no exercise, desk job</option><br>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel" value="lightly">Lightly active - Light exercise or sports 1-3 days/wk</option><br>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel" value="moderately">Moderately active  Moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days/wk</option><br>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel" value="very">Very active - Hard exercise or sports 6-7 days/wk</option><br>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel" value="extremely">Extremely Active - Hard daily exercise or sports & physical labor job or 2 X day training, football camp, etc.</option><br>

Is there something wrong with this? I have spent an hour looking at the rest of my code figuring out why I can't pull the values been sent on this form, Im starting to think there is something wrong with this code. Any ideas? I have looked at examples online and they dont use 'id'?

Thanks, a very noobie question but any pointers or help is appreciated.

I think, you forgot to write name) names must be same for example name="radio_name" for all radio inputs. Write like below. But id in html mustn't be same. And why you are using i couldn't understand.

<input type="radio" name="activitylevel" id="activitylevel_1"  value="sedentary">Sedentary - Little or no exercise, desk job<br>
<input type = "radio" name="activitylevel" id="activitylevel_2" value="lightly">Lightly active - Light exercise or sports 1-3 days/wk<br>
<input type = "radio" name="activitylevel" id="activitylevel_3" value="moderately">Moderately active  Moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days/wk<br>
<input type = "radio" name="activitylevel" id="activitylevel_4" value="very">Very active - Hard exercise or sports 6-7 days/wk<br>
<input type = "radio" name="activitylevel" id="activitylevel_5" value="extremely">Extremely Active - Hard daily exercise or sports & physical labor job or 2 X day training, football camp, etc.<br>

You must define name for radio button

like this

<input type = "radio" id="activitylevel" name="activitylevel" value="sedentary">

You need to set each input fields name and then reference that name when trying to retrieve the values. For example:

<input type = "radio" name="activitylevel">Sedentary - Little or no exercise, desk job</option><br>

Inputs without names will not be submitted when form is submitted. So you need to add name to your inputs. Also there seems to be some syntactical mistakes. Corrected code looks like below:` 

<input type = "radio" id="activitylevel1" value="sedentary" name="activitylevel">Sedentary - Little or no exercise, desk job</input>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel2" value="lightly" name="activitylevel">Lightly active - Light exercise or sports 1-3 days/wk</input>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel3" value="moderately" name="activitylevel">Moderately active  Moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days/wk</input>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel4" value="very" name="activitylevel">Very active - Hard exercise or sports 6-7 days/wk</input>
        <input type = "radio" id="activitylevel5" value="extremely" name="activitylevel">Extremely Active - Hard daily exercise or sports & physical labor job or 2 X day training, football camp, etc.</input>`
