Vegan: Am I eating too many carbs?

Good Morning,
I'm new here. I've been dealing with my weight for years and years. I have been much heavier than I am now...and I've also been about 20 pounds less than I am now, though never been able to say I've been a "normal" weight.

I adopted a vegetarian lifestyle about a year and a half ago, and since January, have decided that a vegan lifestyle makes a lot of sense to me. So I eat nothing with a face or a mother. I also gave up sugar (because of it's addictive properties on me), as well as white flour.

I follow the Overeaters Anonymous program....so it's 3 meals a day, no snacks for me. and I'm dealing with the emotional stuff that has made me turn to food for a long time.

So here's the deal....My first month on the program Jan to Feb, I lost 9 pounds. just by cutting snacks, no sugar, no white flour...vegan.
the next month 1 pound. the month after, up a pound...and then nothing for 3 months.

So my sponsor said to come here, and have me track my food, just to make sure my portions are in control, that I was staying around 1200 calories. I guess mindset-wise, I think that since I'm not eating meats, cheeses, etc...that i can have BIG salads and plates of veggies and such, fruits, grains...but I think that I'm possibly getting too many carbs.

So I'm here and tracking. : )

Where can I find out how many carbs are too many?
Any other vegans out there?

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!!
