Well, LoseIt knows about people like me, and every once in a while they give you a badge, a little Attagirl, an additional pat on the back. I haven't figured out what I need to do to earn one, so it's not like I'm working for anything other than to continue being consistent with eating reasonable amounts of healthful foods and exercising. But it makes me smile when I get an e-mail announcing I've earned another badge.
It's kind of like Girl Scouts, except I'm doing the work for myself, not for the privilege of sewing patches on my sash and showing off to the other girls in my troop.

This reminds me of a website I signed up for after reading an article in Parade magazine. It's called the Daily Challenge. Each day they send an email with ... well... a "challenge" (go figure).
Sometimes they are exercise related, sometimes eating related, and sometimes something different. They're not big challenges and doing only what they tell you specifically on a given day isn't going to yield huge results, but it's interesting - AND, you earn points and get different levels/badges as you go on, so you might find it of interest.
It's done through a website called meyouhealth.com. You might be interested in checking it out...
