NO<>I Never have.
I go to vegan advocacy groups sometimes and I've met quite a few overweight vegans. I'm also getting there myself.
The longer you're vegan, the more vegan recipes and products you know of that are high in fat and/or sugar... and let's face it, everyone gets tempted. When I first went vegan, I lost 15 pounds, and now I'm slowly gaining it back :(
No...but I only know a few Vegans.
The ones I know are all thin to average.
I think it has more to do with the fact that Vegans tend to be health conscious rather than the diet itself. Ie. They'd pick healthier food options, exercise more, etc.
It is very possible to be overweight as a Vegan by not exercising and eating pasta/bread all day. I am a Raw Vegan primarily for my health, so I exercise daily and pay attention to everything I eat. I intend to go back to Veganism in a few months. : )

I'm one of those slender vegans, but yes I met a fat vegan this summer. She was vegan for 10 yrs and was 5'6" and weighed 180. Her reason for being atypical vegan stature was that she ate more.
I have also seen a few plump vegan celebrities :)
I'm a fat vegan. Obese, actually.
Weight loss/gain/maintenance: calories in vs. calories out.
Not eating this-or-that has nothing to do with it.
Yes actually. Just because you can't eat meat doesn't mean you can't eat sweets. I imagine this is the reason why some vegetarians and vegans are overweight.
Myself.
Yes. Veganism isn't a weight loss programme; there are vegans of all shapes and sizes - from way too thin to morbidly obese - just as there are vegetarians and meat-eaters of all those shapes and sizes.
what vegans eat has lots of carbohydrates in it
carbs that aren't burned by your body are stored as fat.
its still possible to over eat when your eating apples, nuts, bananas, beans, whatever.....
I was fat for the first few months of being vegan. Then I decided to lose weight and no longer fit into a category I would consider "fat". :)
Most of the Indian vegan are fat.. Obese actually. Because they will use curd, ghee and other fat foods.
Yes.
If you eat 4 eggplants at one sitting, you're going to get fat.
