Here is the same animation, only redone in ImageReady, with several frames cut out... weighing in at just barely under 14kb... 

 

You had 20 frames for what is essentially a gif that only needed about 10... and you could cut that down even more if you really had to...  I think I made the time transitions a little too fast, but that is easily something you can change in IR... 

Anyways. I am not that big of a fan of LM for creating animated gifs... You may be able to re-create the same things in LM.. but I re-did that graphic in under 1 minute.. at a savings of over half the file size...  with not much degradation in quality.  

Not to mention that with a little more work, you could probably get it down somewhere around 10k..... 

Hope that helps!
