Trendy Traineo (www.traineo.com), which has been earning raves, provides all kinds of tools to help you track your eating and workout habits. Its gimmick: Up to four motivators (people you choose through the site) are apprised of your progress to provide praise when you succeed and encouragement when you falter. That accountability and support can be hard to ignore.
