Don't get suckered into comparing yourself to other's ideals. The person who wrote that might be 6' 5", 110 lbs and has 40 hours a week of free time. Measure your progress in terms of health and the amount of fun you have riding your bike. Three months is not a lot of time, keep at it and you'll see considerable gains for quite a while.
