1. Convert first month's loss to improper fraction: 6 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{27}{4}
2. Convert second month's loss to improper fraction: 12 \frac{5}{8} = \frac{101}{8}
3. Convert \frac{27}{4} \frac{54}{8} \frac{101}{8}
4. Total loss after two months: \frac{54}{8} + \frac{101}{8} = \frac{155}{8}
5. Total target loss is 28 lbs = \frac{224}{8}
6. Weight to lose in third month: \frac{224}{8} - \frac{155}{8} = \frac{69}{8}
7. Convert \frac{69}{8} 8 \frac{5}{8}
