Fun Stuff: Our Group Banner

I'd like to start something that I think would be fun...
As I've stated before, the group is all of ours, so I'd like to allow anyone who's interested to submit a background for the group banner. Another thread has been started to come up with a group catchphrase; when that has been finalized I plan to put the group title (5:2 Fasting) along with the new catchphrase over member submitted images (along with their usernames) and cycle them on a regular basis.
If you have a really great graphic of something you're proud of (including yourself and/or your family) or that you find inspirational then please submit it.
Please keep the images clean...but hey, we're not prudes; you've been working hard to look good in a bathing suit or that cute pink and raspberry jacket tucked away in your closet...so show yourself off if you want. Just keep in mind that while a bikini on a 5:2 member with a 22 BMI might be appealing to most that same bikini on someone like say...me...could be downright offensive (if not hilarious). So, what I'm trying to say is...expect comments, stay positive, and keep a thick skin (but I do need to add that I've found people in this group to be exceedingly supportive and kind).
Take a look at the existing banner before you submit a photo; notice that it is about 3 times wider than it is tall. This means I will most likely need to crop your image...I'll do my best to make it work (no, I will not airbrush away any flaws
).
Upload the image(s) here...to this thread. Make sure they're at least 1500 pixels wide (I'll resize them myself)...if the quality is too low it won't look good on the banner. MyFitnessPal now allows us to upload images directly to a post...if the image is too wide it is automatically shrunk to fit, but MFP keeps the original version intact; that's great, because I can then click on your image and grab the full resolution version.
Images will be used in the order that they were received (in the thread). If you submit more than one photo then expect any additional photos (after your first) to be moved to the end of the line...after other users' initial photos have been displayed.
If we get lots of photos I'll "try" to do it weekly, otherwise I think every 2 weeks (or the 1st and 15th of every month) would work. If we get just a few photos then possibly just every month.
I'll keep it up as long as I can. I don't know if other designated "leaders" in the group have the ability to edit the banner (I suspect not), but I'll be doing this at my leisure so the updates will happen as my schedule permits.
Please do not upload copyrighted or proprietary images...if you are not sure if an image is in the public domain then just play it safe and upload one that you've taken yourself.
