Is there anyway i can lose 60lbs in 4-5 months with atkins?

i just started on sunday. i done everything to the "T" so if ketosis starts after 48hrs i should be in that stage tomorrow morning right? im 5'7 21years old and im at 228lbs! i really hope this atkins diet works im eating only 1000 calories a day and im going to the gym 3-4 days a week and doing 300 crunches and cardio. do any of you guys have successful tips and stories after doing atkins???
