How can I get Last weeks date range in Visualforce component

Question

I need to populate Last week, Last two weeks, current Month dates in Visualforce Component, how can I do that.

 <apex:outputText value="{0, date, MMMM d','  yyyy}">
 <apex:param value="{!Today()}" />
 </apex:outputText>

This would give me todays date. But I need last week date range, or atleast start of last week, and last two weeks. if we cannot achieve this is the visualforce component, we can try some logic in apex controller as well. Any suggestions. Thanks!

Answer 2

got it was able to achieve it using below code in apex controller:

public string getDate(){ 
Date d = System.Today(); 
Datetime dt = d.toStartofWeek() - 7;
String LastWeek = dt.format('MM-dd-yyyy');  
return LastWeek ; 
}

Visualforce:

<li> {!date1} Last Week</li>

couldn't format date class in Visualforce.
