Select from results of query?

Question

I have a query like this:

SELECT Weighings.Member, MIN(Sessions.DateTime) AS FirstDate, MAX(Sessions.DateTime) AS LastDate
FROM Weighings AS Weighings INNER JOIN
     Sessions ON Sessions.SessionGUID = Weighings.Session
WHERE     (Sessions.DateTime >= '01/01/2011')
GROUP BY Weighings.Member
ORDER BY Weighings.Member

It returns this:

Member | FirstDate | LastDate
Blah   | 01/01/11  | 06/07/11
Blah2  | 02/03/11  | 05/07/11

I need to get the value of a cell Weight_kg in table Weighings for the returned values FirstDate and LastDate to give results like so:

Member | FirstWeight | LastWeight
Blah   | 150Kg       | 60KG
Blah2  | 70Kg        | 72KG

I have tried all combinations of things but just can't work it out, any ideas?

EDIT

Tables:

Solution 1

;with C as
(
  select W.Member,
         W.Weight_kg,
         row_number() over(partition by W.Member order by S.datetime desc) as rnLast,
         row_number() over(partition by W.Member order by S.datetime asc) as rnFirst
  from Weighings as W
    inner join Sessions as S
      on S.sessionguid = W.Session and
         S.DateTime >= '20110101'
)
select CF.Member,
       CF.Weight_kg as FirstWeight,
       CL.Weight_kg as LastWeigth
from C as CF
  inner join C as CL
    on CF.Member = CL.Member
where CF.rnFirst = 1 and
      CL.rnLast = 1

Solution 2

You can use the RANK..OVER stmt (works only on SQL 2k5+)

select fw.Member, st.Weight, en.Weight
from
(
    select Member, Weight, RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY Member ORDER BY Weight) rnk
    from Weighings
) st
inner join 
(
    select Member, Weight, RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY Member ORDER BY WeightDESC) rnk
    from Weighings
) en on en.Member= st.Member and st.rnk = 1 and en.rnk = 1
