I like this idea. This really reminds me of the whole sort of "social" aspect of traditional games that we're seeing (I'm seeing it mostly on iPhone games but I'm sure it's happening on Xbox Live and PSN). Specifically I'm talking about "Achievements". In traditional games it might be "Finish the first 5 levels without losing any health". In your wellness "game" it could be "Do 25 pushups for 5 days in a row". Getting this "achievement" would display on your profile. I think Foursquare does this with "Merit Badges".
There is the problem of having everything run on the honor system though. No way to keep people from just saying they've accomplished the task.
