Acceleration and speed is one thing, weight is another. As mentioned above acceleration of ANY object towards Earth is 9.8 meters/second squared. Same for everyone. But the weight is just your mass times 9.8. So more mass means more weight but same acceleration. (I also need to mention this is in ideal conditions, which means without air resistance etc.)
