? For fitbit gurus...

I just got my fitbit zip. I am all set up, but i noticed in the app settings of MFP, i am not set up to track steps. For some reason i am unable to enable my step tracking. They both say i am connected, but none of mfp stuff is getting transferred to fitbit. Can any of you help me figure this out?

Connect your accounts at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/fitbit

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

In the MFP app, go to More > Steps and choose Fitbit.

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.
