Hi there and welcome!
The reason why you are so hungry is because you are simply not eating enough. 10 WW points is roughly 500 calories and that puts serious stress on your body, which will eventually begin slowing down your metabolism in an attempt to save energy. I know that it seems scary at times to eat when you are trying to lose weight but by starving yourself on so little food you are only setting yourself up for binges and sending your metabolism all out of whack.
The 3.5 lb loss is a great start, but it could be water weight, and when you aren't eating enough the loss comes from fat as well as muscle, which will do you no favors in the long run. It is great that you are incorporating exercise into your plan, but that is creating a bigger calorie deficit which will make you even hungrier.
My honest advice is to eat the 24 points, keep up with the exercise, and you will see that you can still lose weight at a steady and healthy pace. 3.5 lbs every 3 days is not a healthy pace for someone at your weight. I completely understand wanting to get the weight off as quickly as you can, but starving yourself will not do you any favors in the long run. Losing weight with this method will make it nearly impossible to keep off. The moment you start eating normally again, the weight will come back on because chances are, your metabolism will have slowed down. I know it probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but it is the truth. In the two or so months until the end of July, you could safely and healthily lose 15-20 pounds, give or take a few. 30-40 pounds in two months just really isn't a reasonable goal. I'm sorry.
All that being said, I wish you the best of luck on your journey and hope that you stick around the boards.
