I was guessing any nut butter would work, but started to think about find and keeping those in stock. :-\

Almond butter is becoming much more popular these days and can usually be found on the bottom shelf near the peanut butter.  Or if the store has a natural foods section.

I used a personal trainer a few times when I first really started working out a few years ago... she said that you won't really start to notice the belly getting smaller until about 3 months of consistently working out.  It held true in my case...

This is why it's important to measure your belly before you start.  That way you can measure your belly every week or two to check how it's doing.  Though, you can't expect inches off, only centimeters or quarter inches.

I like more of a drastic result... I don't get on the scale or measure except for three or four times a year!   ;D

From my perspective, weighing in (or measuring) every week is one of the things that can set folks up for failure in a fitness plan... Let's say for example, you had too much water and you were a little bloated.  You measure and whoa... you're the same or bigger than last week's measure.  For a lot of people, that would be enough to call it quits!  If you wait say a month or so between measures, you'll definitely see results and they'll be drastic enough to make you go "WOW!  This is really working!!"
