By being 2.5 times bigger than the earth it might weigh 2.5 times more but because it's larger there's also a bigger increase in the radius and thus that makes the gravitation weaker.
Jupiter is like 318 times bigger than the earth and the gravity is only 2½ times stronger or so because of this.

Jupiter is a gas giant; it's almost completely composed of gas. It's about 318 times HEAVIER than Earth, and has 1321 times the volume. Therefore its radius is about 11 times that of Earth's, which would make its gravitational field strength 2.64 times greater than that of Earth's. If it were a terrestrial planet rather than a gas giant, it would be much heavier and thus have an even greater gravitational field strength.

tl;dr Jupiter's not a good planet to compare Earth to.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for the guys in lab coats to come up with an efficient and cost-effective method to terraform Mars; it's much closer to us anyway.
