Jun 30, 2015 9:48 AM in response to dexter391by rccola88,This happened to me using iTunes to backup my data and restore (not update) to 8.3. All my other data and settings made it across but my health data is gone. It's as if it just reset with the update.

Jun 30, 2015 7:19 PM in response to dexter391by Carvensno,You think that is bad? I did a restore on my iPhone today to 8.4 because 8.2/8.3 I was still having crash issues. So I did a restore and restored from backup that I did right before I started the restore. Got done and all my Health app data and my Apple watch Activity and Achievements i got are gone! Everything for the last 4 months of Health data and last 4 weeks of exercise data is gone as if I just got a new phone and watch

Jun 30, 2015 7:28 PM in response to dexter391by SergZak,In order for the Health Data to be backed up, the iTunes backup must be flagged as an encrypted backup. An iCloud backup will automatically be encrypted. If your iTunes backup is not encrypted, you've lost all of your Health Data trying to restore from that backup.
Use Health on your iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 8 - Apple Support
Scroll down about 3/4 of the way on the linked page.

Jun 30, 2015 7:41 PM in response to SergZakby Carvensno,Thanks, they need to add that info to the user guide for the Apple Watch so people know to turn it on/check that option. I read the Apple Watch user guide via iBooks before getting my watch and even today to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong and didn't see anything mentioned about that needing to be done to save your Activity and Achievements app. Can't do anything about now I guess, just makes me mad though. That's 4 weeks of Apple Watch data and 4 months of Health data and me dropping 65+ lbs so far down the drain because of something small like that.

Health & Keychain data need encrypted backup, for security reason as you can imagine.
