Great gift! You can set it up online or if you have a smartphone using the FitBit app.0

MFP has a Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users
Connect your accounts: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps/show/30
Do not log any step-based activity. Your Fitbit is already tracking that for you.
Log non-step exercise (like biking or swimming) in Fitbit—never MFP.
Log food & drink (including water) in MFP.
Enable negative calorie adjustments: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings
Set your activity level to sedentary: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided & set your goal to .5 lb. per week for each 25 lbs. you need to lose.
Follow your MFP goal, eating back your Fitbit adjustments.
Your Fitbit burn is your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). If you follow my instructions you'll be eating at TDEE minus an appropriate deficit. I lost the weight & have maintained for 6 months using these settings.0
