Good luck on your weight loss journey!!

agreed.
here are some tips that come to mind. Some are healthier than others, but they'll all get the job done.
For fruit have bananas instead of some of the lower points fruits.
For vegetables, corn and peas are higher points.
Also, several vegetables are higher points cooked than they are raw. (carrots and peas come to mind)
If it's late at night and you haven't finished your points, try something less filling and less efficient than popcorn. If you don't want to have junk for snacks, you could have things like: pretzels , bread, and (natural) peanut butter (maybe with apples or bananas)
Try cooking in oil (preferably heart healthy oil live olive or safflower) instead of using non-stick spray.
Try adding cheese to things or adding butter.
Get milk and milk products (yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.) with a higher fat content.
