Yes, I've heard of values similar to those you've named, and 1 kg of body fat equates with roughly 7000 to 9000 kcal. So, with 11 kcal a minute you roughly burn 1.13 kg (if you choose the 7000 kcal value) in 12 hours.

The result is respectively higher if you jump a little faster, or lower if you use the 9000 kcal value or jump slower.

(Actually it's still a little lower, because the body doesn't start to burn body fat immediately, but I left that out for simplicity.)
