question about gifs

[kygrlslovekevin]

Hey ya'll.  likaangel made this fantastic gif for me that i want to use as my icon.  however, every time i try to load it into livejournal, it says they can't exceed 40gb.  i've resized and resized and resized and it still won't take it.  can some one tell me either what i'm doing wrong and how to do it correctly? thanks guys!

edit:  o.k. now i've gotten it loaded but it doesn't move anymore...
