ive managed to loose a lot of weight and i am trying to keep loosing more but i just signed up at a better gym with free weights and i want to start bodybuilding, is now the right time to be taking protein supplements???? is it best to take them after the weight loss or does that matter???

Yea, you'll be fine. Each scoop is, oh, 120 cals? If you're upping your exercise intensity, you're golden. How much of a calorie deficit are you at?

Ya its completely fine to take a protein supplement right now, and you can take one at any time doesn't matter if your trying to lose weight or gain. Just be sure to fit it into your diet. One major benefit of protein supplements is they allow you to take in, for the most part, just protein without the extra calories from fat and carbs. General recommendation is to get around a gram per pound of bodyweight but don't fret if you go a bit over or under its not gonna ruin progress just around that amount. Also, diet is going to be the biggest factor and no supplement will perfect an awful diet. I'm guessing you know that with the weight loss but just wanted to reiterate.
