A great way to start would be to start a thread in the "Support Groups" forum. We've had threads before but they always died off. Once you have a thread started, wait for people to jump on in and chat and bam! You have a group!
I have read and regularly check thread you mention. However, I can see multiple threads going depending on the topic: where to find clothes, metabolism issues, exercise, diet, and more. Thought it would be more helpful to have a forum devoted to this group like 30 somethings, 40 somethings, 100 club, etc. rather than one very long thread.
We've learned in the past that "if you build it they will come" doesn't apply to forums We've started a lot of good forums with good intentions, and watched them fizzle out. A dedicated thread has to stand the test of time before adding it as a forum, and it has to have a lot of regular posting members that stay active in the thread. We also get lots of complaints about having too many forums because it overwhelms newbies, so we rarely add new forums.
