Does FitBit sync with MFP? If so, how do I do so? Or is it just best to log manually? Thanks!

Yes - FitBits sync with MFP. I have a FitBit One & set it to take negative adjustments. My FitBit compares against my sedentary setting & adjusts accordingly. My steps based workouts need no adjustments.

Set your goal to .5 lb. for every 25 lbs. you're overweight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided

Enable negative calorie adjustments: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

Ignore your Fitbit calorie goal and follow MFP's, eating back your adjustments. No need to log any step-based activity—your Fitbit is tracking it for you. Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both. Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time.
