Workplace Weight Loss Competition

Hey there,
I'm mostly feeling sorry for myself today. I'm in a weight loss competition at work and I'm not even close to beating who's in 1st place. This guy doesn't look like he needs to lose anything, and yet he's lost 30lb in 9 weeks! Since we started I've lost 12lbs, which is good but makes me feel like I'm not working as hard as him or something. Which isn't true. I shouldn't judge, this is my own journey but man just once I want to beat him for the weekly weight loss percentages. I only have 11 pounds to lose before I hit goal, but there's only 3 weeks left. I'm pretty sure I won't win. I'll go sit in a corner and sulk until I realize this is not a big deal. Until then, I could use some "non-scale" victory stories or encouragement to help make me feel better.
