How many carbs should we have?

I am confused as to how many carbs we should have. I am 16months out (down 118lbs.) and still need to lose 30 more. I have been battling the "grazing", but have done well the last couple of days. anyway, I have read anywhere from 20 to 160 carbs a day are ok. which is right? 20 seems WAYYYY low, but 160 seems way high. Also, I LOVE watermelon and have been eating it regularly... I just looked today to see how much carbs are in it, and it is fairly high? Are these considered "good" carbs? Do they count in the total? HELP! I'm totally confused on the carb issue. I know to eat mostly protein (have been doing that!) and get plenty of water (done!), so how about the carbs??? thanks!
