you are correct that you move towards the centre.
To calculate how far you need to look at Centripetal force - (Centrifugal force is the apparent affect of Centripetal force)

centripetal acceleration can be written in terms of the angular velocity (w)
C = w^2.r
angular velocity w=velocity/radius
C = v^2/r
Force = mass * acceleration
Centripetal Force Cf = (mass * velocity squared )/ radius
ie. Cf =(m.v^2)/r or Cf = mass * angularvelocity^2 * r
as you can see there are 2 key terms - the radius and the velocity . both are needed to work out the ratio change

so if at the edge of the torus at radius r1 you experience a force Cf1 and at an inner radius r2 you experience a force Cf2

then Cf1-Cf2 = m.w^2 *( r1 - r2)

to convert the 10 pounds to Force, convert to Newtons
10lbs is 44.48 Newtons
if the person is 70kg or 154.4lbs
(there are 2.205 pounds per kilogram)

44.48 = 70* w^2 * (r1 - r2)

lets decide on an angular velocity of 0.1 radian per second
this is 5.7 degrees per second or 0.96 revolutions per minute

as you specified 1 gee we can calculate r1
1 gee is 9.8 m/s - so 1kg weighs 9.8 netwons

r1 = C/w^2 = 980 m

note that the velocity v = w * r = 98 m/s = approx 352 kmh

r1 - r2 = 44.48/(70 * 0.1^2)
r1 - r2 = 64

ie you move in 64 meters to change your weight by 10lbs in this example. so if you want to lose the weight in 1 minute you have to move at just over 1 meter per second towards the interior of the space station.

there is a good reference on this discussing the max rotational speeds tolerated by humans. http://www.spacefuture.com/archive/artificial_gravity_and_the_architecture_of_orbital_habitats.shtml
