    if you were to use a basic BMI, you'd have to go below 11 stone before having to worry about being underweight.

    That's great progress. If you go to http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm you'll get BMI 23.4. Normal range is 18.5–24.9.
    But you should be able to better judge it by how you look, as scale doesn't tell the whole truth.

    Well, that really depends on his build, amount of muscle and fat%. BMI is more of a guideline. Going as low as 11 stone might not be healthy.
