And then, when people do, make this topic a sticky! I used the search and only found tons of threads about particular groups, but nothing addressing the following:

1) how to start a group
2) how to join a group
3) is there an MFP feature for this or is it just set up manually amongst friends

Any help would be awesome. I want to join a group, and I'm just lost!

    It's just a group of people who decided that they are going to do a challenge or make a group together. There is no formal function on MFP for this. Normally (but not all) groups are closed as they start a challenge on a particular day together. I would watch the forum and wait to see someone who posts about starting a new challenge and then post on there that you want to join. The other thing you can do is talk to your friends and see if they want to start one with you too!

    Usually someone will think up a challenge and/or group and post it to see who else would like to participate. There isn't a feature that I know of for this, just made up by a random individual. To join a group just ask them. To make one just post a thread.

    Why don't all of you get together and do a group? =)

    Hmm...well then I'll just have to start a group. I will do this in a couple of weeks. I want to start a running group I think, so I'll need to wait until my hamstring heals (fingers crossed)
