Thanks for any suggestions or ideas.

Oh yeah, there's lot's of positively tasty things that don't kill you for points.
For example, I had a frickin huge salad (lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms) with Paul Neuman's Lite Balsamic dressing and a 1/4 cup of Feta cheese. I could have doubled the dressing and Feta and still be under my lunch quota.
We also like Blue Bunny Lite ice cream (2 points) and cous cous (can't recall, but cheap). Costco also has a black bean hummus that is yummy and VERY cheap point wise. Get some low carb wraps, cucks and tomaters and you can pack it in on this stuff.
They also sell pickled Asperagus (sp?) spears that are FREE, as well as pickles, which are also FREE.
I personally don't drink any more sugared soda, and I've cut WAY back on my alcohol (3pts a regular beer).
I eat A LOT more fruit now, as well as vegies, most of which I can pig out on all day.
So there's lot's out there, it is just a matter of the choices you make.
