How about this...
A
AT
TAN
AUNT
DAUNT
TUNDRA
NATURED
DENATURE
UNTREATED
UNDERSTATE
MENSTRUATED
READJUSTMENT
I had problems with the [hide] tag initially, but it turns out that it actually helps to go and read the forum FAQ! What a concept!

I tryied "readjustment" but obviously I did not use the "U" early enough, and you beat me to it. Oh well 
How about: I -> EXCLUSION
I think it is possible, but I have not tried all the way yet.

I -> SLINKY
This one is not too difficult, but hey, I was inspired 
My cubicle at work is full of slinky freaks. We have slinkies, slinky dogs, plastic monkeys in a bucket (don't ask), and an oar. Yes, we are computer programmers...
