Python enumerate()

So I've found that enumerate does weird things to the index when you don't enumerate from the beginning. How do I force the index to be correct?

Example:

mylist1=range(10,20)
mylist2=range(20,30)
list1=[]
list2=[]
#I want to skip the first item
for i,j in enumerate(mylist[1:]):
    list1.append(i)
    list2.append(j+mylist2[i])

You would expect that list1 contained 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, but it actually contains 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. I need the enumerated index to match the index of j in the list or when I try to get mylist2[i], my values will be off my one index. I know that enumerate is working correctly by doing this, but how can I get it to do it the way that I have described?
