Each week the points are reset, the prize is $5 and doing 1 chore for the other person, we are having fun and being healthy too.

Here is the point system per day:
have a healthy/no snack - +2pts
make a healthy meal - +3pts
work out - +10pts - each day after 4 days +20pts
drink 8 cups of water - +5pts
lose a pound - +4pts
have an unhealthy snack - -3pts
go for seconds/too large of portion - -3pts
gain a pound - -4pts

This relies on the honor system but has been an awesome success.
