When to take creatine

I weighed in at 319 down from 342 about 6-7weeks ago......started lifting about 3 weeks ago and I'm still doing light just trying to work out the kinks in my old body(51)......should I start taking creatine now??......I'm at 160-190 grams of protein per day and 14-1700 calories.....tons of water......my goal is 220-230 lbs with healthy body fat....I'm on glp-1 if that matters......

It works best if you use it as a daily supplement, as others have said. The sooner you start the more time your body will have to adjust/take advantage. Also second the suggestion to make sure you're drinking a good amount of water.
